Title: Making better use of FPGAs Post by: Keninishna on December 10, 2012, 06:49:50 AM Since asics are going to devalue the use of FPGAs for mining, is there a better way to put my FPGAs to use to make money? Or should I just sell them off on ebay?
Title: Re: Making better use of FPGAs Post by: Mapuo on December 10, 2012, 06:57:39 AM FPGAs exist, ASICs - still no. May be they'll arive next year or may be never - who knows...
Title: Re: Making better use of FPGAs Post by: Keninishna on December 10, 2012, 08:02:47 AM I don't think ASICs are a big scam anymore and are going to come out before I get an ROI on my fpgas. I just want to explore other ideas to capitalize on the flexibility of fpgas.

I am pretty curious though as to how much an fpga unit would sold now. Title: Re: Making better use of FPGAs Post by: rupy on December 10, 2012, 05:14:33 PM I'm close to ROI on my FPGAs, but the only use for them I can imagine is another crypto currency which uses a stronger/modular hashing algorithm. It would make perfect sense to implement that and fix other flaws of bitcoin in the process, agreed it won't be usable until SHA-256 is broken...
