Title: FPGA boards ? Post by: The Rat on March 20, 2013, 05:03:46 PM I really want to get into using FPGA boards for mining. but not many places sell them ? before I spend between 100Euro - 300Euro can anybody confirm these work for Mhashing ?

No idea if it's feasible to mine that way or not, but check out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=76.0 That section of the forums should have the info you're looking for.

I'm not even sure their is mining software for it. This is supported : http://shop.ztex.de/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=74 But I wouldn't buy them at this price. At the current BTC price and difficult these quad SLX150 would make ~100€/month and it will probably decrease in the following months (at least you can't bet that it will remain at this level). I wouldn't buy 4x SLX150 FPGAs boards at more than 400-500€ and 2x SLX150 boards at more than 200-250€. Title: Re: FPGA boards ?

As for the Software I have it ready to go already via this topic. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137934.0 And as it will use my Raspberry Pi to run up to 4 FPGA boards I think it could be cost effective on the electricity usage anyway. I just need to find some well priced and proven FPGA boards. The asics are yet to be proven or shipped as far as i can find out. ! Rat. |
