Why the sudden interest in FPGA's?

I have noticed a few threads popping up the last few days asking for them, do they know something we dont?

A new coin about to be announced maybe with a new algorithm  Huh

Just a guess, maybe they're trying to implement Ethash on FPGA
https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Ethash
https://stats.ethdev.com/

As I said, just a guess.
New Mimblewimble implementation: https://www.beam.mw
Spondoolies is now part of Blockstream: https://blog.blockstream.com/en-blockstream-mining-builds-momentum-with-spondoolies-acquisition/
Kaspa is a POW cryptocurrencty which implements GhostDAG protocol: https://kaspanet.org/
