What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger
I thought LUX is ASIC/FPGA resistant after they forked to Phi2?
No algo is fpga resistant  Tongue

As they stated it will be, it will be interesting to see who is correct in the end Tongue
As i have not oredered a FPGA i do hope the LUX team will be able to stay ahead of the FPGA programmers. If they are able to make requirements so you need new FPGA it is like ASIC resistance which is as good as it can get.
But i dont have the skills to do more than hope hehe.

Since FPGAs are programmable and also they can have their memory changed (at least some of the FPGAs I've seen use normal PC RAM), how can a developer make an algorithm that's FPGA resistant and not GPU resistant at the same time?
But most importantly, WHY would anyone do that? FPGAs are like GPUs but capable for anything except gaming. Sure, GPU mining is a bit easier at the moment, but you still have to find the right miner and set the correct clock speeds. FPGAs can be as easy to use in the future.
As long as they're open source and not closed like the ASICs which will be turned into useless heaters once an algorithm change or the manufacturer decides to release a faster ASIC, I don't mind FPGAs taking over GPU mining.

Please focus on bitstreams for Equihash coins that have forked away from ASICs and all the Lyraxxx coins.

Re: FPGAs hosted @ Mineority.io

FPGAs hosted by Mineority will have access to encrypted bitstreams from their team and any open bitstreams, such as these. You will configure this with the web UI.


Mine on!

If we purchase FPGAs (shipped) do we still get access to Mineoritys encrypted BitStreams?

+1 for quoted question

All the same cards, all the same efuse keys, all the same bitstreams. At least launch - mineority could decide to release their own layer or vice versa.

Can we get some more info from Kristy regarding topic , its very important since only option i personally consider is shipped fpgas.

Aggred.

Also, how can we trust mineority to actually ship the cards? Are they going to mineority then getting reshipped?

Is there any chance that Bismuth (SHA-224) will get FPGA support? https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bismuth/

DMD,XZC
the PHI2 FPGA miner may be shitman's FPGA farm, I have a little impression,
it was shown in 2016  for ZEC, a board with 4x XCKU115, a batch of 5000 chip were ordered.
cgminer/4.9.0 or  cgminer/4.9.1 are always be FPGA.because the first BTC fpga miner used this version.

Digital Cruncher has released Keccak, and Tribus (1.95GH/s):
https://github.com/digitalcruncher/keccak-tribus

So now there are 3 algorithms available.  I am working on 2 more for August (which ones are currently secret), and in August, Senseless releases Lyra2z, GPU Hoarder releases CN7 and Digital Cruncher has I think two more as well.  So by August there should be about 9 algorithms available.




thank you very much for your job guys!

these 9 algos will be available on the mineority hosting platform in august when the FPGAs will arrive ?
we will able to switch on different algos like simplemining platform for example ?

thanks.

Even though the software is available for free download & testing, people kept asking for videos.  So I posted a few videos:

Like the KU040, the Nexys video is power limited (4A max core supply).   This means it would need an extra external regulator soldered to the PCB to get a reasonable hash rate.  On 0xBitcoin for example it would be limited to around 150MH/s on the default power supply, vs. 1.5 GH/s with a 'full' power supply.

thats like x10 faster then 1080ti does on 0x for way lower power consumption but still at current prices thats like 10$ a day and roi on it will still be about 1 year or more depending on the 0x price :-\One more algo gone in the wind for gpu miners Cry
Where are you checking the price / mining comparison for all the 0x tokens?

Okay, the first full fledged mining software & bitstreams are now available for download on the Zetheron website:

http://zetheron.com/index.php/downloads/

0xToken miner:
Stock VCU1525 (0.85V) = 11.55GH/s
Stock VCU1525 (0.74V) = 15.09GH/s

There are also KU040 bitstreams available.  And more to come.

The next 2 algorithms will be launched around August 10th.
