The SQRL Forest Kitten 33 FPGA is highly profitable mining Kaspa.

FPGA are too expensive. If you have one, ok but don´t one for mining Kaspa. And FPGA are not available in large quantities.

Hey, I am an FPGA developer and have bought some used SQRL acorns.
They are a great platform for PCIe FPGA development.

If anyone has some extra hardware, I would be interested in talking.

I would be interested in:
Acorns 215+
Acornnest x4
BCU1525
Forest Kitten 33

Thanks!

Ooh La La, C'est Zoom!
u noobs must not have heard of LTC gear and BlackArrow lool nice clickbait tho

Wind it back even further and there is BFL and all the hinky stuff around the early FPGA BTC miners, back when you could still mine BTC with GPUs.

Yes, I got sucked into the SQRL fiasco, but I went in with open eyes and figured I give it a go. I lost, but had paid with value inflated crypto, so maybe not so bad. 🤷‍♂️

At least I didn't get involved with the CVP board mess.

I was watching this one from the sidelines for a long time.  Asked a few questions in discord and folks seemed nice and helpful.  I could just never justify the purchase having not seen much real evidence that it was worthwhile.  Too bad because it seemed like a good prospect. 

The idea of enhancing existing mining rigs was compelling but I just never saw it materialize.  Maybe the developers had some success but if you have to operate at a developer level... well people like me with day jobs don't have the time.

Good content.
People should not forget who is responsible for the SQRL mess.
thanks mk, were you involved w/ it at all or steered clear?

One of the worst investments in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency space EVER wasn't actually a coin, token, or crypto project, it was actually a mining rig or mining hardware that never was profitable!

We cannot offer investment advice, but we can report on crypto news and make informative and entertaining cryptocurrency video content! Long story short.. SQRL and their FPGA mining devices have been some of the biggest BUSTS in crypto mining hardware.. well ever. SQRL led with the Acorn 101, 215, and 215+ m.2 mining device. The SQRL Acorn miner shipped six months late or more and when it arrived it had none of the mining software available for it that was basically claimed and advertised for it. SQRL has relabeled and resold several FPGA mining cards, and their most recent SQRL forest kitten fk-33 is now going up in flames as their relationship with Xilinx is falling apart. Apparently, SQRL is now sourcing FPGA mining cards from Intel, however yet again the buyers of SQRL products will be unlikely to ever breakeven, let alone make a profit on their crypto mining rigs. Anyway, let's review one of the worst investments in cryptocurrency ever, all revolving around failure after failure of cryptocurrency mining hardware and rigs.
