Mineority couldn't make it. Sorry for anyone that signed with them.

Squirrels, FPGA.land, Zetheron will be next. They are all connected.

Anyone that hasn't got their refund for the 1525's, better hurry. They all are probably bleeding out.

Too bad the little guys can't compete with Bitmain, etc. Check out the F1 FPGA miners. Clearly looks like Bitmain.

12 algos to choose from....not waiting on 1 dude to come out with a stream at double the price for a unit.

From the discord most of the BCUs got shipped, so I don't understand that sensence about refunds...

Hmmm. I'm not reading discord. But they haven't shipped my order from June 7th yet. Originally supposed to ship in September. Guess I'm not part of the "most" group.

Supposed to be secret information, surprised it hasn't been leaked yet.

Not really, are you just guessing?

Yeah, definitely a blind guess. Kinda c***y if he really did know 'secret' anyway. Loose lips sink ships....

Soon the $1599 Cairnsmore5 and the $549 Bridgelink FPGA cards will be available, and no matter a person's finances they will have access to home FPGA mining.

Looking for a cheap FPGA for another project (maybe mining after), Bridgelink sounds about in the budget but I can't find any info on it? Also looking at a XC6SLX150, have you had any luck with those? How do they compare?

Bridgelink prototype is currently operational, more details coming soon.

"Clearly looks like Bitmain" - Because they're from China?

Was on that webpage anything other than now? They are closing 1 company and moving the activities under another company.
From the discord most of the BCUs got shipped, so I don't understand that sensence about refunds... Also there are another producers of boards with VU9P/13P FPGA chips, some already shipping, some shipping soon.
I am personally happy to have a VCU, although things are not going so fast as anticipated, but that is true for everything crypto related (incl. first BTC ASIC chips and 3rd party asic miners in 2013).

How would a smallish FPGA do on something like the kekack800 variant that PROGpow makes use of?

We should work together to standardize an api for crypto-FPGA´s.

Way cheaper and easier than this op. Bitmain wins again and won't charge 4%.

A dropdown menu rather than waiting for a bitstream.

Check out - ''The Technicals'' on Youtube.

F1 is made of earlier generation of small FPGAs. Look at the power usage for example. And it is "closed source". You are dependent on the vendor to release new algos or to delete existing algos, you cannot run 3rd party bitstreams on F1. But yes, it is an alternative, which has its pros and cons.

* Algo1 and algo2 are the code names of two algorithms, which are only open to Blackminer F1 users.

Does anyone know what Algo1 and 2 are?

Not really any different with the other FPGA offerings. You’re always going to be dependent on a handful of people to provide you a bitstream.

Last week, FPGA software developer whitefire990 spoke to Decrypt Media about why FPGA promises to shake up the mining landscape.

Seriously. All this does is move the dial a little in the favor of FPGA manufacturers. Does absolutely nothing for decentralization. Big money will come buy them all up or worse the manufacturers will selfish mine with hw. Can’t say I blame them tho. This system is based off greed. It has only one outcome. That is for it to land in the hands of one person. Maybe when all is said and done satoshi reveals himself for the “prestige” of the grandest internet magic trick
