btw, everyone, please forgive me for my merit. I was a little hasty  ctrlzctrlzctrlz |

No. my implementation of the CN is very raw ... I'm ashamed to spread its code ((( Ah, I was all ready to give you a big pile of merit  -- I'll give you a little stack instead. Thanks for the share. Do you design your boards? Would you like to test a few algorithms written by me? Still waiting to receive my copies of the VCU1525. I'm currently just testing on a VCU118 until the dev boards get in. If you want to pop into the discord here: https://discord.gg/ZEXCHt there's a big group of developers and i'll have one of the admins tag you. |

PayPal is just fine.
VAT number should be optional, providing it lets us not charge you VAT.
Where do I put in the VAT number to avoid having VAT charged at source? In the check out process it'll ask you on the right hand side when you're filling out your info. This doesn't seem to happen. On the right hand side, I only get Subtotal, Shipping, Taxes. At no step from Cart, Customer Information, Shipping Method, Payment Method is there a box to enter the VAT number. At what step _should_ it be there? If you have a vat number, enter it in the box provided, and it will update the costs. If you have any problems let me know. And that is the problem - I don't see a VAT number box at any stage during the checkout process. I tried to PM you but I'm too new to the forum to be allowed to do so. Apologies, you need to go to your account profile and add it there. I'll get one of my guys to toss it on the order form. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. |

GPUs were never ideal for mining. Yes, they are reconfigurable, so are FPGA. The nice thing about the FPGA is that the performance ratio is much higher. On a POW network secured by FPGA the cost of entry for an ASIC is much higher for small players. Everyone is so busy worrying about bitmain they're not thinking about the smaller players out there who are developing extremely low cost high level ASICs. For example, the cost of entry for a 130 to 110nm ASIC might be UNDER $100,000 and it would have performance / power ratios multiples higher than a GPU (depending on the algo). At these high levels you can very quickly create, verify and print the design. But, when you compare the performance of a 110nm ASIC to a 16nm FPGA, the FPGA would blow it out of the water. Performance comparisons between ASICs and 16nm FPGA would probably start around 45->32nm. This means, if someone wanted to create an ASIC to mine on these coins they'll have to do so at least those levels. This increases the cost, time to delivery, and risk of failure [for the same reward]. What we are working on now is further reducing costs and what I want to see is these devices enter into the realm of GPU pricing. Let's give the video cards back to the gamers and use devices that are more suited for what we need in the crypto community. There are no GPU maximalist atm, GPU mining is also abused by large GPU farms that do no good
FPGA might even be end of POW, as big farms will harvest 90% now, as I don`t trust on FPGA open sourcing! (might happen for some but they all will be low profit as rest big evil farms will be even worst then bitmain!)
We're selling these devices now at the lowest cost anyone has ever publicly or privately advertised these boards for, ever. We were able to obtain an amazing deal and instead of profit taking on that, we're passing it along. Be the change you want to see and support the change you want to see. |

Why not CryptoNight V7?
Seems like ROI is about the same as a GPU, but the savings in power after ROI make up for it. But then you are locked into the algorithms they release unlike GPUs.
It's a tough sell to me without a higher returning algorithm at the start.
Damn, decisions, decisions.
Because there's no such thing as cryptonight v7! It's cryptonight v1 on monero v7. Let's get the community corrected on that point. Anyone can release algorithms for these boards, not just us. There are several people doing it, and some have already posted public code. In the discord there's a dozen or so devs who are making bitstreams  It's not too scandaleous to name it Cryptonight v7 You just named cryptonight v1 where it should be Cryptonight Cupid Shuffle  This like people saying it's not a hoover, it's a vacuum cleaner. As long as we know what we are talking about I dont think it's an issue Whattomine calls it Cryptonight v7. Can you just confirm this FPGA will mine monero now at around 14k hashes a second with the needed Bitstream provided on delivery? I dont want an algo that a x3 does at 220k+ Yes, what is really cryptonight v1 but what everyone calls cryptonight v7 will be at delivery. Everyone email whattomine and tell them to call it variant 0 and variant 1! please! There may really be a variant 7 one day! |

Hi senseless, are you and GPUhoarder connected? It seems GPUhoarder identified himself as CEO or something of AirSquirrels. Consequently, the fpga.land website is listed as "in conjunction" whatever that means with Squirrel Labs.
Not sure if i'll get that info by backreading but would love to have more evidence this is legit.
Yes, this is a joint venture between us. Allmine inc is my company, AirSquirrel and Squirrel Research Labs are his. Instead of forming yet another company, we just signed a contract. |

As long as we know what we are talking about I dont think it's an issue It should be corrected because there may one day actually be a cryptonight v7. It's called "VARIANT_1" in the code and you can see the monero wallet README that details cryptonight v1 being released under monero v7 https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/README.md1546000 2018-04-06 v7 v0.12.0.0 v0.12.0.0 Cryptonight variant 1, ringsize >= 7, sorted inputs Let's call a horse a horse, shall we? |

Almost all PSU's, as long as they aren't junk, can operate between 100v-240v. Yes I'm currently running all those HP supplies at 240v, in fact, anything that CAN run at 240v IS. Read my article about being electrically dense on my site to understand why I am..
Thanks for the blog post about using 240 VAC to power server mining rigs. I have installed two 20 AMP 240 VAC circuits. Each configured as: 20 AMP BR220 breaker in electrical panel to NEMA L6-20R Twist Lock Receptacle, 12AWG wire Spectrum Control PDU 72A-116BUHEN-01 8-Port Power Distribution Units with 16 AMP breaker for ON/OFF Tripp Lite 20A, 12AWG (IEC-320-C19 To L6-20P) Power Cord from L6-20R Twist Lock Receptacle to PDU The question I have concerns the maximum current I can draw from the PDU. Does the same derating (80% of max) also apply to the 16 AMP breaker in the PDU? The sound logic in the article shows that 80% of 20 AMPS is 16 Max AMPS for the main panel breaker. Which was why the choice of a 16 AMP PDU was optimal however if the 16 AMP breaker in the PDU also has to be derated by 80% that would put the max current at 12.8 AMPS. I currently have one circuit at 12.8 AMPS and the other at 9.1 AMPS. My problem is that I have three more servers that need to be added to those circuits and that would push the current to 15.5 AMPS each. Is it okay to do that or will the breakers on the PDUs flip off after some time when they heat up? On your setup do you know the maximum current you are drawing on any one circuit? I would like to know that number to determine if I have to add a third circuit. For 20A you don't need to use the twist lock or the PDU. You can just go straight from the breaker to a couple NEMA 6-20R. Then you can get NEMA 6-20P cables that plug directly into the outlets. The 16A for the breaker in the PDU may already be the derated capacity. I'd recommend reading the manual to find out for sure. |

I've gotten two of the modified boards, but I see they are not selling too well as opposed to non-modified boards, why would that be? Aren't modified boards better suited for better cooling? What is the disadvantage of the modified board that I don't see?
I stopped stocking the unmodified boards because people were buying them and then requesting to be switched to modified. Everyone wanted the modified boards. |

We're already getting chargebacks...  Going to disable paypal rest of the cards are going by crypto or bank transfer. mine says temporary authorization on my credit card with paypal, hopefully it clears through. Yes, there's quite a few temporaries.. That's a little different. These are charge backs. |

Just a question 14Kh/s on Cryptonight means about $0.72 per day of earning on Nicehash, is that correct ?
I think it's cryptonight v7 so 20$/day Noone would bother making anything on original cryptonight now that multiple asic are on the market It's cryptonight v1, monero v7... There's a bit of misinformation floating around to that point... Please try to correct it when you see it. But yes, it's about $20/day at present rates / conditions. |

The bitstreams need to support the memory you purchase / use. We're using non-ecc DDR4 2400 so as to standardize the DDR4. Since the non-ecc version is cheaper and is just as effective for what it would be used for, there's no reason for the community to pay extra for that.
so the ram we need is non-ecc DDR4 2400 and for the 16GB, it's $250 extra... can i choose my own 3rd party ram as long as the speeds match? or are these 16GB of ram that is purchased with the card special? i'm curious to know before i order a few of these. thanks! Yes, you'll just need DDR4 2400. Once we start developing bitstreams that use it, we'll test various memories and compile a memory compatibility sheet so you can look for specific dimms that are known working. |
