you can get a 600MH/s miner for Xilinx kc705 board today. btw this fpga board has high-potential for scrypt mining due to attached ddr3 ram.

yes, unfortunately still no new info from them..it seems, that they will release the boards just one/two months before ASICs expansion and it is to late..

I'm only looking for a way to mine and keep power low.  Gpu mining seems to suck wattage!

So Asics are basically the equivalent to an ELE?     'Extinction Level Event' in the mining world?   So a hobbyist has no chance any more?
