I am trying to build a CryptoNightV7 FPGA Miner. Knowing that it is not cost effective, what type of hashrate could be achieved with a Kintex-7, Virtex-7 or even the UltraScale and UltraScale+.
I am looking at it for research purposes and do not have the desire nor the finances to scale it. It is simply a desire to do it.
Here is a perfect example of a project that I have enjoyed and wish to do the same with CryptoNight.
https://github.com/pedrorivera/SiaFpgaMinerI think messing around with his miner is a lot of fun. I am NOT trying to compete with GPU’s but love messing around with new hardware and software. As you can see from his hashrate, it is not a viable alternative to GPU mining (and particularly now that there are ASICs).
I am offering a bounty for an FPGA Cryptonight miner, the link I will post in my signature.
Look forward to input from some of the bitcointalk programmers.
Thanks
