Update:We have released the following bitstreams for the following platforms: CVP-13:BMW512 (11Gh/s) from Protovist Honeycomb (650Mh/s) from Allmine Inc Veriblock (9.2Gh/s) from Protovist Neoscrypt (3.3Mh/s) from Nez Nimiq (1.1Mh/s) from Crypt Turtlecoin (350Kh/s) from Crypt BCU-1525:Turtlecoin (225Kh/s) from Crypt Note: As a reminder when operating the nimiq bitstream you must use the GPMP pool server ( http://pool.burstl.net:8650/ ) Address: pool.burstl.net Port: 8444 Username: Nimiq address. For turtle coin you will need to use the GPMP server at ( http://trtl.burstl.net/ ) Address: trtl.burstl.net Port: 3333 Username: Turtle coin address.

Update:
We have released v3 of the Nimiq / Argon2d bitstream on the BCU for @Crypt that increases hashrate up to 900Kh/s. All existing device managers that were using the old Nimiq v2 bitstream have been automatically migrated to the Nimiq v3 bitstream. You should see your miner download the new bitstream and start mining once the configuration update has been detected.

Update:
We have released v1 of Honeycomb bitstream on the BCU. This bitstream will current hash at between 400-500Mh/s depending on cooling and voltage. A v2 is already in the process and we're expecting results over 600Mh/s. This v2 should be available sometime next week. A minerator update is required for the operation of this bitstream.

UPDATE:
A 26Gh/s bitstream for Kangaroo12 has been released for the BCU by one of the community developers (DrMerxius). The bitstream is for the upcoming Aeon fork. The date of the fork is still TBD.
|
|
|
Update:
An 18Gh/s bitstream for 0xToken has been released for the CVP-13 by one of the community developers (Penfold). The bitstream hashes around 18Gh/s.
|
|
|
UPDATE:
A bitstream for Tribus has been released for the BCU by one of the community developers (DrMerxius). The bitstream hashes around 1.7Gh/s at 190W air cooled. Just above $3/day currently.

When will we get some mainstream bitstream ?
What do you mean by mainstream? What do you consider main stream? Keep in mind, we've not directly produced any of these releases ourselves with exception of lyra2z. These are all from community developers. We do provide a wide range of assistance to them to help them gain better performance, resolve bugs, etc. Really, you need to sign in to see that data?
At the moment, yes, we'll be updating the landing page at some point. x16r, x21, CN (any), Cuckaroo (maybe not possible) x16r is on the roadmap but it's a way's off (toward the end of my 6month time frame). The work that needs to be done for it will allow us to release other bitstreams on the way.

UPDATE:We have released a new bitstream on the BCU-1525 for the coin 'Nimiq', an argon2d based pow. The current hashrate is around 675Kh/s air cooled at 130W. This comes out to around $2.50/day per bcu. The developer is currently working on improving this bitstream and I believe we can obtain around 4x the current hashrate (around 2.5Mh/s). For nimiq because there is no coordination from the devs for miner facing pool protocols (stratum, etc) there were many available and no consistent standard across them. A new pool server was created and this is currently the only pool server supported on the newly designed GPMP protocol. The address for the website of the pool server is http://pool.burstl.net:8650/ -- When configuring the argon2dnimiq bitstream you will want to use pool.burstl.net as your hostname, 8444 as the port, the address should should be the nimiq address to receive your share at, and the password should be your identifier / rig name. You can create your configuration now on our website at https://miner.all-mine.co/ -- To check stats for your mining you can view http://pool.burstl.net:8650/addr/YOURNIMIQADDRESS-- You will need to update your minerator installation to v00.93.01 prior to mining nimiq -- There are more bitstreams in the works and we are expecting more releases in the near future. There's an easter egg in the miner site letting you know what's being worked on. I expect in 3-6 months we'll be > $5/day for all BCUs. As I've mentioned before, progress is slower than anticipated but things are chugging along.

Adding to what whitefire mentioned there are a number of forks coming that should be very good to the FPGA miners. We're playing catch up on development trying to get things going and it's just taking a lot longer than initially expected. I still see a path where all BCUs will be > $5/day and CVPs > $7/day. It may take another 3-6 months to get there though.

We've updated that page to display the information requested. Time permitting we will revamp the dashboard as well.

Will you sell the 1525 'cases' as a complete solution without the FPGA (for us that have the heatsink model of 1525 from SQRL)?
What cases? With a bit of metal work (drilling / tapping new holes) you can get 9 fpga in the Rosewill RSV-L4000C. It's 4U rackmount and has sufficient room to hold 2 bitmain PSUs. You can modify the PSUs with new cable bundles to support a picoPSU for the motherboard and enough 8 pin headers for all the cards. You'd want to put 5 cards on one PSU and 4 cards + fans&MB on the other PSU. You need a P4 molex power connector to power the pico psu.

I'm kinda lazy and my 2 FPGA are just gathering dust now
Water cooling is by far the best way to proceed with these. You're looking at a 25% bump in hashrate, less noise produced, lower temperatures, more stable operation, etc. We have some Dimastech BCU1525 blocks instock ready for shipping. You can view our store at https://shop.all-mine.co . If you're outside of the USA/Canada but would like to purchase you can send me a PM.

I saw another bunch for sale at $3.5k....not sure if these are worth mining at the present prices...comments?
It really just depends on what your view of the future looks like. Personally, I think things look positive.

As I understood from Discord FPGA channel, the current daily profit for each BCU-1525 do not exceed $2 (if use a bitstreams accessible to the public)? Is there any way to raise daily income?
There are >$5/day bitstreams that are due to be released soon. Based on what I'm seeing with current market conditions -- IMO, there's reason why we shouldn't be able to get every BCU above $5/day. I'm hopeful that we'll average out across all the bitstreams at closer to $7/day. Are you referring to generally available bitstreams for users running their own BCUs only or will these figures you're teasing us with be available for hosted cards just as well? The limitation to get bitstreams quicker for us hosted folks has always been the shell... PS: I imagine the next more profitable bitstreams will be the x16 family... We released a Veriblock bitstream today that should yield $6/day presently and a better performing update for the bitstream is expected soon. We have more bitstreams we're working on releasing that are >$5/day.

Announcement:
Bitstreams have been released for Veriblock at 5Gh/s as well as updated versions of the Keccak bitstreams (Keccak 256, 0xToken, Zen Protocol).
With Veriblock expected to open at a price of $0.10 the current profitability of the Veriblock bitstream is $6/day. However the network hashrate is increasing rapidly and there won't be any exchanges operating for Veriblock until early April.
We have already updated all existing configurations that utilized the old keccak bitstreams over to the new releases. Your minerator instance will detect this and automatically start mining on the new version of the bitstream.

Announcement:Bitstreams have been released for the BCU-1525 for the following algorithms. x13sm3 (BCD), Keccak256 (Keccak/KeccakC), Zen Protocol, and 0xToken (0xBTC/Sedo). You can view them and modify your configurations on our website at https://miner.all-mine.co/

That's probably fahrenheit based on the max/min? Or perhaps there's an offset.
Vivado shows different values when the unit is switched to Fahrenheit, though. I got similar values with minerator, so I ruled out interpretive errors on my side. It's pretty annoying as minerator throttles down as a result and the hashrate drops to 1/10 of what it is supposed to be. Are you air cooled? water cooled?

Announcement:#1) The amoveo bitstream for the BCU-1525 has been released. You can create your configuration at https://miner.all-mine.co/#2) We have completed work to build the shell for the CVP-13. We will start compiling bitstreams for this device soon. #3) We have additional bitstreams (tribus and dmd-gr) coming shortly and have started working on putting together PHI2. You should not direct link to software that bypasses a warning that must be applied prior to using that software. Due to recent updates / changes to our platform all BCU-1525 owners require a BMC firmware update to use new and future bitstreams. If you have not already performed the update necessary to operate the 60Mh/s Lyra2z it is recommended you update your BMC to the most recent revision. You can find update instructions below. I don't understand what you mean?
