Title: Mining with FPGA's? Post by: MZ4 on February 02, 2019, 11:31:12 PM It would be very helpful for me to know your experience mining with an FPGA.
I am interested to buy a CVP-13 and I would like to know if it worths it? Also what should be careful before or after buying it? Title: Re: Mining with FPGA's?

Your pretty much gota buy somebodies bitstream to mine some shitcoins that you have to sell and hope it has some liquidity. Coins like grin/beam will have early gpu access and fpga/asics will lag behind. In mining, getting in early is more important than getting in later and hashing more. Something to keep in mind. I think it would be nice to have one fpga at least to play with. I wouldn't build a farm with it until they start having good coin bitstreams to mine with. Title: Re: Mining with FPGA's?

Do you know which algos can be mined with the FPGA's? Title: Re: Mining with FPGA's? Post by: SpceGhst on February 03, 2019, 12:25:04 PM This link may help:

Making $6-$4 its going to take over 500 days to break even. It was making $7-$10 before the coin forked. But they seem to come out with new bitstreams often so we will see what the future holds.

Based on this link a CVP would make more that $14-$15 with the current Bitstreams. No? Title: Re: Mining with FPGA's?

From my understanding profits has dropped. I'm interested in them also, but until more bitstreams and honestly some more competition comes to market I don't see them mainstream yet. Now if you know how to write bitstreams, or can source private ones, maybe a different story. |
