23.02.13 23:03:50 jasinlee: whichever device we use needs to be able to handle scrypt in parrallel and the altera fpgas (none of them) were able to do it.

jasinlee: eh, we shall see, everyone assumes the 300 is a hard figure
jasinlee: when in reality we were just asking for opinions
jasinlee: For all I know, the only way to pull it off with a good amount of hashpower vs roi would be to sell them for 3000 and have them run at 3MH/s

Looks like scrypt is proving elusive to FPGA as expected

Heh, this is true and expected, but our simulations are still looking good, but I will not be going and pointing out which ones we might be using to everyone.

Its on schedule, still working at improvements to the code.

If you want help, pm me. I am a software engineer.

Also count me in when you are ready to ship the board.  Cool
