Title: FPGA Subforum Post by: Pipesnake on March 09, 2012, 03:54:15 PM Yes?
Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: naz86 on March 09, 2012, 05:22:06 PM would be very useful !
+1 Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: BTC-engineer on March 09, 2012, 05:36:36 PM Yes, please!
Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: fizzisist on March 09, 2012, 05:37:51 PM Good idea!
Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: aTg on March 09, 2012, 05:58:19 PM It is still necessary.
Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: TheSeven on March 09, 2012, 06:14:26 PM definitely!
Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: bulanula on March 09, 2012, 07:21:04 PM Indeed. I am tired of all this BFL and ZTEX and other FPGA junk in the GPU forum.
I won't be buying any FPGA any time soon so might as well move it out of the way for now. Thanks ! Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: Glasswalker on March 09, 2012, 07:23:41 PM Yes Please! For the subforum!
Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: Isokivi on March 09, 2012, 09:15:46 PM +1
Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: 2112 on March 09, 2012, 09:21:45 PM The posts in support for FPGA subforum should be in the Meta section:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62257.0 Last time there were only 2 supporters. Maybe second time is a charm? Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: coretechs on March 09, 2012, 09:53:10 PM +1

I won't be buying any FPGA any time soon so might as well move it out of the way for now. Thanks ! :D my junk will still produce Bitcoins when you are out of the game with your GPUs. +1 for a FPGA subforum btw Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: P_Shep on March 09, 2012, 09:59:34 PM Indeed.

Thanks ! :D my junk will still produce Bitcoins when you are out of the game with your GPUs. +1 for a FPGA subforum btw Out of the game ? I don't think so. As long as the fans are spinning, the miners are mining ;) Let me know in some years how well your FPGA junk lasted because GPUs are proven to last for ages while FPGA will die in / after 6 months according to BFL's shitty warranty.

Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: BadBear on March 10, 2012, 01:05:32 AM Maybe we should make a GPU subforum instead. I dunno, when I look at hardware I would expect to see more general hardware stuff. Like the watercooling thread, new backplanes, motherboards, cheap miner builds. Instead its almost all GPU threads (13+) vs 6/7 for FPGA. It's to be expected since gpus are so important to mining, but maybe thats just another argument for a forum just about them. Then as the FPGA activity increases, make one for those too. Just seems more logical that way.

Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: naz86 on March 10, 2012, 11:12:23 AM what about this:
bitcointalk.org -gpu --software --hardware -fpga --software --hardware or -software --fpga --gpu -hardware --fpga --gpu Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: fizzisist on March 10, 2012, 06:10:32 PM what about this: bitcointalk.org -gpu --software --hardware -fpga --software --hardware or -software --fpga --gpu -hardware --fpga --gpu I think that's too many subforums. Especially given that some mining software is compatible with both GPUs and FPGAs. My vote is for just the addition of one subforum for FPGAs, as a child to the Mining->Hardware subforum. Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: Littleshop on March 10, 2012, 06:59:55 PM what about this: bitcointalk.org -gpu --software --hardware -fpga --software --hardware or -software --fpga --gpu -hardware --fpga --gpu I think that's too many subforums. Especially given that some mining software is compatible with both GPUs and FPGAs. My vote is for just the addition of one subforum for FPGAs, as a child to the Mining->Hardware subforum. Agreed. Too many. Software does not need to be broken out. I also think FPGA as a subforum either under hardware or under the parent mining. You could break out GPU but I do not think it is necessary. I think it would bring a little more order to the forums. Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: dunand on March 10, 2012, 07:00:13 PM No need. Hardware subforum is the place to post your FPGA stuff.
If you create too much subforums this place will looks like OGRR :-) Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: Wandering Albatross on March 10, 2012, 09:17:39 PM Would make it quicker to find fpga discussions. Or maybe a GPU sub-forum would make more sense since at halving-time GPU miners will quit
and the GPU discussions will be less frequent. Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: marked on March 10, 2012, 10:46:51 PM No need. Hardware subforum is the place to post your FPGA stuff. If you create too much subforums this place will looks like OGRR :-) I looked at OGRR and instantly shut it down. How on earth are you supposed to find anything, or even READ the damn site? marked, who doesn't have any clue why he went there in the first place. Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: aTg on March 11, 2012, 10:25:17 AM I think it's necessary division between VGA and FPGA.
I would have to include FPGA / ASIC for a possible future. What are you waiting for? Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: Dhomochevsky on March 12, 2012, 12:52:51 AM +1 on the FPGA subforum. It would make life much easier. I, too, think it's necessary.
Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: Raize on March 12, 2012, 01:26:24 AM Name current forum "GPU Hardware" and other forum "FPGA Hardware".
While we're at it, might as well get ready for an "ASIC Hardware" too. Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: Transisto on March 12, 2012, 04:34:48 AM I'm happy to see this idea finally getting interests.

Title: Re: FPGA Subforum Post by: enquirer on March 12, 2012, 05:08:34 AM Quote I also think FPGA as a subforum either under hardware or under the parent mining. Wrong, that's GPUs that belong in parent mining (i.e. mining while parents pay for electricity).
