First GENUE LTC FPGA

[ReCat]

Well I'll be damned.

Weird stuff.

A google search query of the device ID's ("idVendor=0x1234" "idProduct=0x1010") yields many links to z.download.csdn.net where such information is referenced almost exactly, some kind of chinese internet forum. Apparently this has something to do with "STM32", which is a model of ARM Cortex MCUs. It seems to me the device id's referenced might be the ones of those devices.

Or maybe it's a generic idVendor and idProduct, but those were the only matches I could find.

Otherwise I could not find any correlation between what he posted and anything currently findable by google.

I have to say, it's a mystery. Maybe he does have an fpga miner, but it's single-threaded and does not resolve any of the scrypt fpga-mining issues that makes it so unprofitable so is more or less exactly worthless.

it look very ugly, when complete can you give better look?

my sources indicate this video was of the first model, and the current prototype has 8  chips per board. their goal is 1.2  m/hs per board @ 150 watts fyi. this is definitely one to watch.

Boy howdy...this could be a game changer if legit

unless it is a asic device, it wont be a game changer

22 kh/s with 1,5$ for single kh/s makes 33$. Sorry, I don't buy that unless you get FPGAs from factory's back door. ~20$ costs 8 layer PCB in China, that you need to properly route all DDR3 signals from FPGA. Plus a device cost, plus assembly.

Hi,
I just got my old thread locked, showing a fpga hashing at 22 Khs, lol. Bord can do really more..

I'm considering going on reddit with full story!

Twas not me, meaning John K most likely locked your original thread. *Wonders...*

Ha ha does not wonder , these guys get a little sensitive about fpga and ASIC when they look like getting out to the real market .

KnC will be working on a sCrypt asic just as soon as this party is over .  I expect .

for those who know nothing about chip design, First FPGA, then to hard silicon. FPGA allows you to work the bugs out of your design before you dump 25K to have it masked in silicon.
2nd off, Scrypt is completely possible to build an ASIC for. math is what computers do best. Scrypt just requires some external ram. big deal. ram is cheap. I dont doubt the authenticity of this. there are a couple other people working on fpga scrypt machines. They just arent posting their work here for kudos and warm pats on the back.

O.M.G :-O     Super Jelllyyyy!!!! Keep us updated!!!

*pats the project dev on the back* bravo, the numbers do look to be in the realm of possibility.

0x1234 was default in the usb stack I used. 0x1010 si for visual, I had many of this boards connected to a linux and I needed a way to quick recognize them in lsusb output.
But all this effort and you didn't notice that it uses a derivation of BFL SC communication protocol..

It is designed the way it is designed for the same reason an AK47 it is designed the way it is designed.
All three rams are working at max possible speed. And will probably have another iteration, and this is not the only RAM board I have ready.

They`re just jealous ...keep on working on the project and when it will hit the market even the jealous ones will buy 

[Joe_Bauers]

No, I am doing it for money, so most information are classified till I sell for good reason

Why post it at all at this point?

I am looking to inform community about this project, while keeping sensitive information, which may affect project development if disclosed,  private.

[smolen]

you can get such hardware at 1$ - 1.5$ (closer to 1)

Is it the retail price for new components?

[coldbreeze16]

I remember reading about another guy trying to get some FPGA to work on scrypt, it kinda looked like the spartan, doing 37 kH/s. And this, and also this scam http://scryptasic.org/   Something big is surely coming along *grinning*

Well, I have not used BFL devices.

Either way, I'm not really jealous. If it's real, then fantastic, scrypt will have an even more secured future. Dedicated devices are fundamental for the long-term safety of a coin, I think.

I just think it all sounds like a big setup for a big scam.

Being paranoid often pays off. First they laugh at you for being paranoid. But then they don't laugh. because they're dead, and you're not, because you were paranoid.

I can only agree on this.

Stop agreeing with someone who is trying to oppose you. XD Thats not how it works.
