Hi,

I'm new here but I've been reading about Bitcoin for the last few months. I originally found out about Bitcoin from an article in IEEE Spectrum and I've been very interested since.

I'm looking to do my Master's project on Bitcoin Mining. My idea still needs to be refined to make it a viable project. But what I'm hoping to do is design a system that reduces the power and performs faster than existing solutions. I'm looking to use my own Raspberry Pi and a Spartan-6 Development board.
