I have an OEM tray of Virtex-6 FPGAs in a sealed bag. They were purchased a year ago from a parts broker in order to build an FPGA mining array, but I never used them. They are XC6VLX195T-1FFG784C-ES parts.

They are sealed in a static bag with a desiccant enclosed. They are new unused parts, and are ROHS compliant. I am only selling all 10 of them as a lot.

A photo from my supplier is here:


I want $900 USD or the equivalent amount in BTC. I will accept escrow, but we need to agree on some details first. Please send me PM via the forum in order to contact me.

[Bitcoin is still an extremely young technology]

I was asleep when the whole Mtgox hack incident went down (apparently).  I am surprised by the reactions I see on this forum; it reminds me a lot of young children being told for the first time they can't stay out and play after 8pm: tantrums, yelling, and wild accusations of unfairness.  If you have half a brain in your head and you care about Bitcoins, then please consider the following important points:

• Bitcoin is still an extremely young technology.  Nobody in the Bitcoin community, including developers, can tell you with certainty that everything will work out successfully, because none of us have ever done this before.
• Due to the disruptive nature of Bitcoin, it will attract a lot of both positive and negative attention.  Even after this Mt. Gox incident is over, there will be future problems with deception, fraud, theft, and misuse.
• We need more attacks in order to secure a bright future for Bitcoin.  I know this statement will aggravate lots of people.  However, it is a fundamental property of engineering complex systems: if you haven't tested it, it's broken.  This means until we have actually tried to compromise the system in ways which we know are possible to observe the effects, we can't declare Bitcoin a secure system.  One large such example is an attempt to split the blockchain.  I fear that until someone actually tries this, there may be more serious issues lurking which we can't forsee.
• Bitcoin is not a substitute for common sense.  Just because we can all use our shiny new currency does not mean basic needs like authentication, trust, and good financial engineering practices aren't necessary.  The Mt. Gox hack was a basic failure of secure website design, and as far as I'm aware does not represent any compromise to viability of Bitcoin itself.

My sympathies to any of the Mt. Gox users hacked in this incident.  With that in mind, I'm sure there will be better more robust trading exchanges available in the future, and something tells me we will do a good job of learning from hard lessons.
