Hi,
Just my new topic showing my RAM based board doing 22kHash/s at 350 Mhz RAM clock:

I do not quite understand why you are being so informal about something that would be so significant? Is this a joke or real?

What dude?
I just shown some basic design on a stick of ram.
Basic means I can multiply frequency by two, add some tricks in memory utilization which means memory utilization will be divided by at least two... that's some basic design..

Will you be releasing the vhdl sources? Have you overcome the problem of mass parallelization that is required to get high performance? What is the model/make is your FPGA and how much did it cost?

No, I am doing it for money, so most information are classified till I sell for good reason, eg. I want to keep decent prices on components.
I think I did answers most questions when I told you that you can get such hardware at 1$ - 1.5$ (closer to 1) and less than 0.13 W per Khs.
 I will continue to provide videos as proofs.. Smiley

Anything with an FPGA is never a "basic design", FPGA's are always complicated. There exists no FPGA hardware that costs only $1 per unit. (FPGA is an expensive technology, which is why it is not suitable for any low-cost market segment, like consumer hardware.) You show little literacy about hardware development and failed to answer a technical question that would not release any vital information about the supposedly privately commissioned product.

Honestly I think you sound a lot like a scammer. Videos don't provide any real proof as they can easily be faked and your grammar and word usage sounds like you are 14 years old.

What do you say?

its funny you should mention it as well. if  you watched the video it becomes obvious in about 15 fucking seconds that this is real

Basic design means this is iteration 59 sub iteration 7 from major iterations 119, just a post for my old thread, some objective answer. I did expect some stir, but I didn't expect so much or I would have post it long ago, lol..

How can you know that test_miner.py isn't just a script full of echo commands with a time.sleep in between? Or hell, even a CPU miner, which is more or less correct as to what the speed you'd get would be.

Just look at the text output when the script was given a ^C.



Suspicious.

Post the source to test_miner.py, since all it is is a mining client and would not release any confidential information. If it shows legitimate USB or serial port interfacing code of some sort then I'll believe you.

ah okay, then your suspicions are meritorious, i just saw your vague posts and assumed you were trolling or slinging fud towards the OP. i'll hang up and listen for his rebuttal and hope he shares the source.

Nah r3wt that's not how I am. Tongue

Nice that at least we've come to an agreement.

Why not.

if dev is None:

# configuration will be the active one
dev.set_configuration()

Nah r3wt that's not how I am. Tongue

Nice that at least we've come to an agreement.

Indeed, let's see what he says.

Ha, right on bro. agreed. and btw, for the record i'm a currently in "scammer rehab". you probably can't trust me as far as you can throw me, but at the very least people can talk to me in a civilized manner i would think. I'm not a bad person i just took advantage of some people and i thought it was high time i admitted what most other people knew. now i got the scam tag and all my coins and projects are going to die. i challenge all these other "dev's" to admit their scams and how much they make on these premine pump and dumps. every coin dev on the forum would have a scam tag

My negative trust rating is reflective of a personal vendetta by someone on default trust.
