Title: Sudden interest in FPGA's
Post by: markj113 on August 02, 2015, 08:23:38 AM
Why the sudden interest in FPGA's?

I have noticed a few threads popping up the last few days asking for them, do they know something we dont?

A new coin about to be announced maybe with a new algorithm  ???

Just a guess, maybe they're trying to implement Ethash on FPGA

As I said, just a guess.
