Title: Cheapest FPGA mh/dollar?
Post by: i_rape_bitcoins on May 19, 2012, 09:09:04 PM
Am I right to believe the bitforce singles are the best bang for your buck? Although the other FPGAs are attractive, I think they're a bit pricy.

Thanks :)

You should also note: eldentyrell will be releasing his new bitstream for the spartan 6 pretty soon which will give any board that is compatible with it a nice ~50+ mh/s per FPGA performance boost  :)

Not any board ..... only Spartan6 boards. So no performance boost for BFL. And it'll cost u something :)

TBH he might get more from a few people giving overly generous donations...

wouldn't count on that .... Im ok if he sells it. Its his time and knowledge that he did put into his bitstream, so he should be rewarded properly.
