DIY FPGA Mining rig for any algorithm with fast ROI

[cryptolumos]

and looks to have an ROI of about 290-330 days in the current market.

All these profit/ROI estimations are useless. We are clearly remember advertised earnings/roi level of vcu/bcu1525 back in May-Jun, a lot of gullible people fell for those beautiful numbers and spend tons of money.
Nowadays fpga mining hardware market is flooded. vcu/bcu1525 owners barely seeing $5-6/day income, this is 2+ year roi atm. And bcu1525 profit for sure will be more and more cannibalized by cvp13, and all other upcoming fpga boards. And we are not even taking into account probability of algo forking on big altcoins
It reminds me how ASIC manufacturers advertising their new devices.
Showing current profit level, not taking into account growth of network hash rate and difficulty, which are skyrocket after the manufacturer ships thousands of brand new devices to customers. After a few months these devices barely cover electricity cost and become doorstoppers.
I want to repeat: nowadays mainly only miming hardware manufacturers and hardware resellers earn money in crypto mining  sphere.
This is a game where  miners will always lose, doesn't matter what kind of hardware: ASICs, FPGA or any other specialized hw
In near time we'll see more and more coins forks with asic, fpga resistant algos.

SQRL did exactly this with their Acorn "Accelerator" cards.......  People have been waiting for months on their miner after being advertised figures on increased hashrate and decreased power consumption.

Funny thing is that they've already started advertising in discord the upcoming Acorn Pro version, while the current hardware doesn't even have working miner software. This selling strategy even worse than $hitmain's

Lol yeah for sure "advertising" having a discussion of the future of the tech is now "advertising" right on

What's currently the best (non-secret) option to mine with BCU-1525?

[astraleureka]

Most people running 0x

[coffeefan]

Is the approximate number of BCU-1525 in the market known at this moment?

There are 5000 BCU1525 in circulation.

Right now the most profitable public bitstream is Nexus, available on zetheron.com.

Please note that all zetheron bitstreams are available to all users, you just send a video of your hardware mining 0xBitcoin and you receive the non-public bitstreams.

There may be other developers that have truly 'secret' bitstreams that are not at all available to the average Joe.  I don't know.

Hi,

I make new mining software for VCU1525 cards (and other clones) for AMOVEO coin with 20GH/s hashrate (4% fee),

https://github.com/dedmarozz/Amoveo-VCU1525-FPGA-Miner/releases

https://amoveo.io/

veopool.pw

Its first version, i try increase hashrate in next build, i think 25GH/s is possible.

I can ported this software on Bittwire CVP-13 board but i do not have any board and i dont have Vivado licence on this VU13P FPGA, can somebody help?

Thanks for any help

[OurManInHavana]

Thanks for the new bitstream!

...Its first version, i try increase hashrate in next build, i think 25GH/s is possible. ...

Instead of trying to squeeze that extra 5GH out now and get 4% of it... you'd make more by releasing a version that works with the Shell: then there's a couple thousand BCUs that would all run your software because it's the most profitable offering for people using SQRL hosting.

Either way, lots of people appreciate your hard work!

[webhead]

why not make some software for a de10 nano for say cpu coins , this would be cool.

[astraleureka]

"CPU coins" (assuming you mean ASIC/GPU resistant coins) tend to require much more complicated logic and/or large amounts of external memory. This makes them fairly inefficient for FPGAs as well, so a DE10 nano (Cyclone V) is even less suitable for those algorithms than the 1525.

[cybterpunk]

any plan to mine beam or grin?

You do realize that’s the exact reason they haven’t released it

 @whitefire990
will u be able to compile a mining software for these fpgas ,for Matrix ai network (https://www.matrix.io/ )  ,if worth it?
thank u in advance

I think only a handful of people are hosting. Pretty sure he has a good reason as to why he's not doing it.

So I decided to take the plunge and dive into the realm of FPGA's. I'm being realistic with this and not looking for a BEP or ROI as BS for FPGAs are still being developed or they are private. In any case excited to be part of the community. I am waiting on my cooling kit to get my BCU 1525 up and running on 0x. Happy mining all

[Hueristic]

Hows that monero mining going, what kind of hash rate?
Apparently they are forking again soon before regular schedule for algo change.

[Hueristic]

Refunds have all been sent out last I spoke to SQRL (last week). SQRL is busy packaging and shipping acorns, water blocks have been received (as I understand it), the current hold up is waiting on more BCU-1525's to arrive from Xilinx. As far as I know those BCU's have shipped and are expected any time.

Thanks for keeping this thread updated.

I'm here waiting for the coming day when I can post an announcement about the bitstreams community developers have created and are releasing

Looks like that day finally happened.

[Rabinovitch]

As I understood from Discord FPGA channel, the current daily profit for each BCU-1525 do not exceed $2 (if use a bitstreams accessible to the public)? Is there any way to raise daily income?

Thats a long road to ROI, I blame Monero.

There are >$5/day bitstreams that are due to be released soon. Based on what I'm seeing with current market conditions -- IMO, there's reason why we shouldn't be able to get every BCU above $5/day. I'm hopeful that we'll average out across all the bitstreams at closer to $7/day.

Are you referring to generally available bitstreams for users running their own BCUs only or will these figures you're teasing us with be available for hosted cards just as well? The limitation to get bitstreams quicker for us hosted folks has always been the shell...

PS: I imagine the next more profitable bitstreams will be the x16 family...
