The thread is full of good information and should answer almost any question you have related to the application.

I could help you out as well if you read the thread and still have questions.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't know you could voltage mod the L3 all the way down to 700 Watts or so.

Do you know if it can be done without any additional hardware such as a dongle? Because with the sidehack S7-LN mod, you need to buy some special part to communicate with the controller and get it to undervolt.

L3+ you can lower voltage as well. There also is a third party firmware floating around somewhere

So no attached psu?

I get that, but my problem with them isn't dumping the coins for btc.  One pool selling coins isn't going to drive the market down.  The real issue is when they have 10-15 coins per algo, mine on each coin when the difficulty is low, once the difficulty skyrockets they move on to the next coin.  They currently have 11 TH/S on blake2s right now, with 5 different coins.  They will put 100% hashrate on a tiny altcoin until the difficulty on another one goes down.  Talk about centralization.  They control way over 51% of the hashrate on many coins.

Fully vetted press release checked and that is all she wrote:

We already had one FPGA scam (Dwarf) recently and I'm sure there will be others. There is no harm in establishing the identity in more than one way. I've seen David's name mentioned but I don't recall any actual proof and I do follow these FPGA threads. So Phil's concern was 100% valid and now we have something to refer to if this question comes up again.

To be clear airsquirrels.com has been perfectly polite to me via email  the email is in this thread above.  GPUHOARDER was 100% accommodating when I explained the vetting issue that I had.

He cleared it up in under 1 hour's time by issuing the press release today.  So I will buy 1 of each Acorn 2 model and have some fun with them.

@yankees

I had a ton of problems putting orders in today

as of this moment  my orders are not marked correctly.

first order did not go to coin payments I gave up and saw the option to get one from the mine0rity.

so 1 dead order of 1 215+
1 good order of 1 215+  this seems to be fully credited

I went back to order again I saw the option for the 2 card holder Could not find the option on themineority but it did make an order on squirrelsresearch
coin payments would not take the coin  so 2 dead orders on squirrels 1 good on themineority

I said f it went out and about tried again

said  I will order the 4 card holder and 1 2 card holder and 3x 215 +  came to 1250 usd I said too much on sites that just fuck up I canceled it.

so 2 dead orders that would not work with coin payments
1 cancelled order by me 1 good order to minority
I tried 1 last time

on squirrels placed a 2 card holder order and 1 215 +  about 440  and coin payments worked took my money.

and squirrels  canceled this order said I had 2 dead orders and a canceled one so we are cancelling this order

but I paid in btc and coin payments said deal with squirrels so I am in the following spot

780 or so made in btc 340  to themineority for 1 215+  seems good.

440 made to squirrels for 1 2 card holder and 1 215+   money is paid order is marked cancelled

too bad I had so many issues

At this moment I am just hoping they fix the error and credit me for the order made for the 2 card board and the 1 215+

The mineority had smoother orders and sold me an august batch.

the 215+ from squirrels is listed for september.

I can not justify  ordering september gear.  So I am done for now.

I did get an email from squirrels it was an auto bot.

I will let you know what they do about the canceled order and the funds I have paid.

What a beautiful motherboard!

I am on discord with sqrl_Jess right now

and it is fixed

Thanks for the reply .

 There is no conspiracy it is a fact that  you have not sold out Sept. batch at 329 according to your website

and you offer Nov batch at 329. The screenshot is simply taken from your website showing that.

Simple accounting shows  that is wrong .
So why offer it?
Your website has sept and should not list oct or nov  until sept is sold out.
All it does is create a chance that a buyer makes a mistake and gets his batches later at the same price.


This free marketing advice for your company.  You could follow it or simply resist my advice because it is your company and you ultimately make those decisions not me.

Has anyone made the mistake of ordering from Oct or Nov batches I don't know as I don't have that info.

Did your store create the chance that someone can order Oct or Nov vs Sept yes it did plain and simple fact.

Will you fix that?  I don't know.
Will you allow an order for Nov to be moved to Sept if someone fucked up I don't know?
Will you give a coupon to a Nov order because the buyer is delayed for 60 days I don't know.

Will you say phil in this case you are right we did create a chance for a buyer to have a 60 day delay thanks for pointing it out and we will fix it.

We checked our records and only 2 people placed orders in Oct or Nov we will move them up to Sept.
We will only list  Sept until it sells out then list Oct till it sells out then list Nov til it sells out.
I don't know.

Do you think I like posting here over and over and over pointing out issue after issue .

Fact is I don't and would rather not post here until the gear I ordered arrives.

Tell you what I stopped posting here. Until the gear I ordered arrives.

As I understand my order with squirrels it is for 1 215+ and 1 nest and is due for sept batch.
order number 482 is my squirrels order reads sept batch



As I understand my order with mineority it is for 1 215+ and is due in the august batch.

Order Number: 25 is my order from mineority

btw it does not say that it is August batch or Sept batch or Oct batch or Nov Batch  when order was placed it read August shipping so Hopefully it ships with the August batch.

No.

deleted as I am not finished pointing out everything wrong  did save it and will allow it to stay.

And for all to see that  the date is today the 11th of july 2018

sooooo my concerns were 100% valid  and until today  they were not addressed.

To op thanks for addressing them.

Normally I would not have bothered to vet this much.

But  I had multiple people ask me via email to check it out.

And every where I looked  endorsements were not in the following direction. Airsquirrels.com(parent) to squirrelsresearch.com (NEW STARTUP)


THERE were multiple people telling me they are real  but I was not able to get the one above until today.  I suppose I need to email

for a full and final due diligence.


and sent the email  to confirm report.

Why is http://www.squirrelsresearch.com/ redirecting me to https://shortener.godaddy.com/?

Well - something is clearly broken. Checking with team.

EDIT: It appears the Squirrels Research domain has been hijacked. Please do not email or interact with this domain until we can clear up what happened.

EDIT2: The domain is now firmly back under our control and has been migrated to our normal, secure configuration.

This thread is 26 days old.
Zero proof it works.
No demos
No videos
No screenshots.

I simply ask the following proof of concept.
What can you show us?
see below you mention pre orders mid june or late june


where is the video?

I am reading this now

read  discord
  I still don't see a product
I don't see  a way to order
I don't see the boost it gives.
I do see you missed your dates  of mid June to take a preorder  and you are about to miss  the late June you mentioned.

You could have just kindly asked for an update.  Not sure why someone gave you merit for that post.

If you read the discord, you'd read that they are behind on this because of the BCU1525 launch/sales. They will catch up.

This is a weird reply, you are coming in here like you have been wronged and they owe you something. I don't get it.

That's not the acorn, BCU1525

I offered to help them a while back.
I have been through enough grief on projects like this that I have a lot of concerns.

I also know builders
Of gear are always slow to launch.

I waited until the 26th which is 11 days past mid month.

No preorder was taken so far.

This means  op missed a date

My post was simply a reality check.

Mid to Late June for all orders and information. First batch ship a few weeks after.

I’m sure we can produce a video. I’ll never understand why so many people like to watch videos online, but ok

This information all existed in the discord but I wanted to share it with everyone.

So we’ve developed an FPGA accelerator over the past few months in M.2 (same as nVME drives) form factor designed to operate both standalone and in conjunction with GPUs.

The first version to be released has 4x high speed PCIe lanes to communicate between the system/GPUs as well as 512MB or 1GB of onboard DDR3 along with a 100k+ LE or 200k+ LE FPGA of high speed grade. We’ve named it the Acorn, and the three models are the CLE-101, CLE-215, and CLE-215+

General expectation is it will provide performance roughly scaled with price/performance of the VCU1525, but it has a unique role and is not applicable to all of the same algorithms. Its performance in this role is dominated by its interconnect bandwidth and not its processing power.

It is capable of providing up to 30MH of lift to a mining system with GPUs on a hand full of algorithms or operate independently at higher-than-GPU level hashrates for other non-memory intensive algorithms (Keccak, etc). I will be releasing it alongside our mining software and bitstreams to support hybrid GPU acceleration. This project was not developed commercially, it was developed out of a product for my day job for internal use in our own mining systems to give an edge to traditional PCs and gaming systems turned miners.

The accelerator works by streaming high bandwidth hash state between GPUs and the FPGA over PCIe., allowing each piece of hardware to handle the portion of the algorithm it is best at. In general this means memory bandwidth or area heavy portions of the algorithm may be handled by the GPU, and hash algorithms designed for hardware implementations are handled by the FPGA. This approach works for any algorithm whose internal state is 256 bit (60Mh gains) or 512 bit (x16r, Lyra2Rev2, etc.) or smaller. The accelerator supports rapidly reconfiguring its algorithms from on-board DDR to enable handling of per-block or period (TimeTravel10) re-sequencing. It was designed originally to provide performance gains (especially for older GPUs with poor cores) and power savings for ETH by way of offloading the opening and closing Keccak calculations, as well as hash-selection to improve locality of reference for early ETH rounds.

Given the anticipated path of ETH itself regarding POS and other fork possibilities please consider all those things if ETH is your target. It may be the most popular coin for GPUs, that does not mean it is the best use of FPGA or hybrid tech.

I’ve decided to make this hardware available to community at near cost, given all the FPGA interest lately, alongside my belief that broadly available general purpose acceleration hardware at its true market cost (not low volume industry specific dev boards) is the best defense against complete ASIC centralization. You will see this philosophy reflected in my activity around the VCU1525 board as well.

Anticipated pre-order prices of $199 for the CLE-101 512MB variant and $329 on the high end highest speed grade CLE-215+ 1GB DRAM version. On-board power consumption is nominally 15W. It will include a heatsink adequate for this dissipation level with reasonable airflow. It is important to note that to fit the FPGA this adapter is slightly outside of the 2280 M.2 specification, weighing in at 2380. The vast majority of M.2 slots should not have an issue with this.

I am also pursuing making available well priced options for individual PCIe x4 to M.2 M-key host boards (these are broadly available for $10-15), as well as Quad-M.2 PCIe switched and Bifurcated x16 host boards for those who do not have the available M.2 M-Key slots or require up to 240MH of acceleration.

I won’t post exact per algorithm stats or performance until I can do final testing of the actual boards to be shipped with the release hardware/heatsink/thermal management pieces in place, at which point I’ll accept pre-orders. This device requires quite a bit of testing to cover the list of common GPUs, PCIe configurations, and supported algorithms. I have no desire to sell anyone anything not useful to them, or to push a board at all, let alone one based on 3D renders, prototype parts pictures, or choppy YouTube videos, so I believe this full set of data along with final product pictures and overview must be published before I will take any preorders. I am sorry if that tests your patience.

Prototypes exist and I’ve already secured most of the hardware for a first batch so lead time will only be PCB + assembly.

At the time of shipping I will be releasing our internal miner software in closed source form for Windows and Linux that supports GPU only as well as Hybrid acceleration. You’re also welcome to develop your own bitstreams for the accelerator, and will have all the specifications necessary to do so.

I will also be publishing the interface for the bitstreams so that open source miners that wish to can use the FPGA directly.

We are handling all CE, FCC, RoHS, and other certifications as well as ITAR and export compliance, so we will be able to ship to all non-US embargo’d countries. Taxes and import duties will fall on the purchaser. We will be offering at least a 90 day warranty.

All feedback is welcome. This is not my source of income, nor that of the rest of my team, and we don’t want anyone’s money unless they are happy with what we’re offering. I’m also happy to continue conversations I am already having with coin devs and miner developers on how or if FPGAs fit into their plans for their coin and/or ASIC Resistance strategies. This community is about choice, and I will respect the choices of those teams.

So all I would like from all of you beyond the feedback, is for anyone interested to hit our pre-order registration survey at http://www.squirrelsresearch.com to help us ensure we’re covering your needs and wants and have all the appropriate hardware secured. Based on that info very detailed performance information and full device photos (spoiler - it looks like an SSD with a heatsink on it!) will be published at the time preorders open, expected in mid-June.

WOW! What’s wrong with you? People like you are the reason why nobody can put out stuff for the community. Why don’t you learn vhdl coding and you can be up and running by 2023. If not wait just like everyone else.

I see that philipma1957 made an inquiry within this thread that did not receive a public response. I am extremely curious whether or not anything came of this deal. I have been hesitant about whether or not to go through your entire process, since I have yet to see anybody successfully deal with you. There has been no trust feedback exchanged and from what I can tell there has not been a finalized transaction up to this point.

Philipma1957 would be an extraordinary review for your service to have, so long as it comes out positive. Them using your service successfully would go a long way towards many members diving at the chance to use your exchange services.

Please give me a little update regarding that, unless you'd prefer that I contact philip directly for their input. I have a lot of things I would like to liquidate, as phil said, spring-cleaning is afoot (albeit late).

Hey fellow miners / investors.

Was it a good section to post about FPGA ? I'm not sure. Please move if not.

So FPGA is coming back with new very high end cards, there is a leaked footage of a 1.9ghs on eth card on Youtube. We are talking about a yield of 75+ usd / card / day at today's price. We got our hands on many of those cards and are building a 12 cards prototype.  The finished prototype will support multi algo mining, + our home software.  Our focus is to finish coding, tweaking and make this miner plug n play in 2 months.  All the other components are high end as well, very stackable in a nice big case, low noise and controlled heat.  It will have the flexibility of GPU mining, without loss of efficiency like Asics.

We are looking for serious people to try them in 2 months. Will have to sign a non competitive agreement before seeing the prototype. I can't discuss the exact specs.

We are in Montreal and also have our data center where we can accomodate clients who purchase our custom miners.
99$cad / machine / month, electricity included


Leave me your email if interested, we are taking pre order right now and 3 of 5 are still available.

Cheers,

Julien

Same symptoms today going from 7 to 9 mixed RX's. Asus B250ME / 8GB Ram / 120 SSD / Win10
