Title: Cgminer in --script mode on FPGAs?? Post by: LiteBit on July 30, 2012, 12:26:54 PM With the release of cgminer for Litecoins I wonder if I can run it on my FPGAs now?

It is somewhat questionable how efficient fpga mining for scrypt would be previous hashes need to be stored and onboard memory is limited. It could however be profitable to engineer a custom board with uses external memory, like regular cheap DDR3 slot memory. That would require a high pin count FPGA to access them as multi channel devices. Title: Re: Cgminer in --script mode on FPGAs??
