Since the ztex boards are clocked at 200 and 208 MHz the hashrate is 200 MH/s +

Maybe largecoin is behind BFL?

I agree on the second sentiment. It is definetly awesome to watch it grow. Hopefully we see some Gen 2 Fpga soonish. I smell asic creeping up on them in 2012. Currently a long standing member of the community here is working on one. Dev time estimate is 6 months. Power use estimate is 10w/GH. Retail cost estimate is ~.25/MH. I will leave it up to them if they wanna divulge who they are or more details, though I have been given permission to mention them. I cannot atest to the accuracy of my information after our few brief conversations. So I feel it best if they present it 'fully' if they so choose.
Not to sound like a tree hugging hippy, but I think I am more excited by the idea of expending a lot less energy to maintain the network hash rate than of any other aspect.

Derek

The only company I know of is largecoin. Anyway, let's wait and see...
I had actually forgotten all about that one. I wonder how his work is going.? The one I mention, unless they have a partnership that was not spoken about is a completly seperate project.
I agree, time will tell. Even if both parties are serious about development, there are a lot of cost and technilogical hurdles for them to cross before we have anything solid.

Added Icarus. Lots of HW options now, it looks like 2012 will be the year of FPGA mining 
It is really cool to watch this technology take off successfully, from its humble beginnings in June/July.
Back then we were at like 50MH/s on 6s150!

What about the Wiki?
Speaking of that, does anyone else think it's unfair that ztex's MH/$ in that table is based on the 25 unit price?
Yes it is unnecessary and misleading. Price should be based on 1 unit and then optionally indicate "lower prices available in volume" or have another entry like "25 card cluster" w/ total cost and MH per $ stats.
Also that entire section could use a rework. I would separate out dedicated miners from all the experimental boards and put number of FPGA per board in a separate column. Since it is a wiki if nobody else changes it I will make some changes tonight.
Updated the Wiki with the correct pricing information. Completely agree as ALL unit prices on the page are single unit cost. We don't list processor prices by bulk, nor should we list FPGA's

I'm waiting for someone to receive, and confirm price, performance, and if possible, power consumption for Icarus.
Maybe that has happened already and I missed it? I've been really busy the last few days

so my X6500 is at the post-office and i have to pay 88,19€ taxes (zoll)
so finally i am a 412,36€ for pre-order,x6500-board,shipping, tax(zoll)
i always looked at the ztex-board when it came out, but i had the pre-order for the X6500 already paid
ztex-board(1.15x) would cost me 379.61€ including taxes without porto
so theres not much difference in the price if you live in Austria (or the EU) if you by only one board, as the wiki says X6500 makes 266Mhs/sec and 1.15x makes 200Mhs/sec, but i think both will make some performance updates by software, and the X6500 has two spartan6 (150), so i think the X6500 has more space for performance-tuning?
this info is for people in the EU, to make it easier to compare
so my brain says me i should buy an other X6500, but my heart says i should buy a ztex 1.15x to compare the two,
but my bank says: "not enough money"

Yes.
Icarus is also not on that list.

How come NG's is not updated here yet? =)
NOT shipping
Complete list of Built/Tested/Shipping ASIC/FPGA Miner Products
'Shipping' as meaning you have sent them. It is a qualifier to show you had something to ship. mail speed is not a factor in that imho.And you had one local pick up and he is up and running. I'm fairly confident your Icarus is qualifying for this list, m8. Though I admire your humility.

I got my X6500 from fpgamining.com a few days ago and finally got around to getting it running.
Its nice and quiet, not too hot, over 250 MH/s under 32 bit linux.

Awesome, thanks for the report! Added to the first post.
