Title: Looking for a DIY FPGA guide Post by: noxx2cz on June 14, 2013, 04:28:43 AM Hi,
I've heard from some people that you can make your own FPGAs even without buying Spartan or whatever development kits. My question is: can you really do it? If so, how? (links to guides appreciated) I really like Bitcoin in general and want to mine a bit better than with my GPUs. And maybe a little extra question - is it worth?

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=9047.0 Good fun (if you are into that sort of thing), but no longer profitable to mine on development boards (unless you've already got one lying around at unused home/work/school, but don't buy one just for mining).

Wow, $600 seems a bit high to me. If I get that much sometime, I'll definitely try to do something because I really love doing these things and a few bitcoins extra wouldn't be unusable. Thanx for your reply ;) |
