Title: Getting Started FPGA mining
Post by: algar32 on March 31, 2013, 01:04:44 AM
Are there any good tutorials/resources on FPGA mining? I have never mined before, but have 2 Altera Cyclone IV FPGAS. What kind of extra hardware do I need to support these boards in mining? What kind of maintenance would be involved once started? Thanks.

Sounds like you just need to write your own firmware and miner..


Here. Its a very short manual.


FPGA Mining Manual
      Page 1

First sell or trade all FPGA.
Second buy ASIC hardware.
