Title: [SOLD] 1x x6500 FPGA Miner
Post by: sirky on October 30, 2014, 09:27:25 PM
Hi there,

I have an x6500 miner that served me well until around a year ago (probably long after it was profitable to mine with it), that I am now looking to sell. I have not used it in the last year, so don't know if it works, but I imagine it does. I am not sure if they are still useful for mining (altcoins), but I know the FPGA's themselves are worth something! I'm not sure if it is very much, but I seriously doubt that I am going to use it again.

I believe these have two spartan-6's in them, if you are more interested in the chips themselves. More at http://fpgamining.com/ (http://fpgamining.com/)

Paypal or bitcoin is fine with me. Make me an offer! I will review them all tomorrow! I am only willing to ship inside the USA, unfortunately.

Thanks,
SirKy

Your pic is not very good; but that looks like a rev3.  If you post a pic of it running I will take it for a reasonable price.  Where are you located?  Ironically I sold my rev3 x6500 on bitmit years ago and now I want one again.

Rev 2 I think. Don't the rev 3's have fans?

It is a rev 2.

I will try to get it running tonight.

Yes your right; rev2 were the blue pcb with flower heatsinks, rev 3 were red pcb and came with no heatsinks; the recommended ones were active and had micro fans on them.  I think I'm going to play NES now.

SirKy did you get it to hash?

I actually failed - I think either my PYUSB drivers were messed up, or maybe the power source I used (I used barrel, and not the molex like most people), but someone was interested in it despite my failure, so this is now sold.

I do totally think that the FPGA itself does work though.

Sorry we couldn't make a deal!

Nope, sold
darn.

have always wanted one of these guys, not just for the mining aspect but also for verilog/vhdl design prototype.
