The intro price (at Avnet) on the VCU1525 is $3995 USD, but it will be going up to around $5K in July. The Bittware XUPP3R-VU9P crypto version is $5895 USD, and has two advantages over the VCU1525: (1) it has four QSFP28 100G ports so you can daisy chain 4 FPGA's together to mine Xevan at 162MH/s, and (2) it has flexible memory options, so you can install either DDR4 or QDRII+ SRAM; the QDR memory gives way faster hash rates on Equihash vs. DDR4. I've been in communication with many members of this forum who are already organizing a group buy.
this difference between the vcu1525 and the XUPP3R-VU9P is mainly the better memory option. how much of a difference is this expected to be? im am so down with this project, i love the fact i can just drop it into my onda board with no mods.. the "just anther videocard" format has me hooked.

Could't we open a telegram/discord for this? there is so much to ask, answer and share... Let me know if there are at least 3/4 ppl interested i would be in

None of that mate, telegram is account based, not number. And Discord has a public ID where your email is always hidden.

Thinking better about FPGA This product will be for a few people, mainly on USA and I'm sure big farms will buy a lot of then

This is available in eu as well. DK-U1-VCU1525-A-G (active cooling) available 9-10 weeks from order date.

i got the public keccak source and synthesized,not sure whether it can run properly,just evaluation of resources.
i put 24 core and set to 300MHz so XUVU9P may run 7.2G ,160W power how can you get 17G?
i can't buy this board personally in my country,and it is embargo on some occasions.

No, it is not enough. I can make a 24 cores and 550 MHz with 0 WNS slack, probably 600 MHz. But it is less than 17G anyway. My ego is hurting.

This is a interesting topic! Cant say i like it too much considering i have 8x 1080 ti on the way lol ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) But il just have to hope it does not become a too big success for a decent amount of time. Cant buy the FPGA as im in Europe, or il have ot use Digikey if that works ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) You are not alone, but the fact that these are not kept in stock scares me the most. It could take forever to have them without a group buy. I suggest again, someone in US could buy for Europe and ship (with escrow even from a trusted member of this forum if possible) If anyone is interested let me know, i'd like to discuss further I am guessing they are not in large stock is due to the fact Xilinx made these to be for development purpose. When the engineer is happy with his design then it goes to production with highly specialized custom board for their specific needs. That is correct. The same thing with a lot of SoC boards out. They are literally made as sample.

If you can show us the screenshots of your miner hashing at these rates, then I will pull the trigger and place an order for eight of these units. For $35,000 why not fly out and meet, see it for yourself, or something of that nature? Because he doesn't have that much money to spend on these to begin with. No one demands proof and then spends that kind of dough by simply seeing a screenshot. The heavy hitters already know what sort of capabilities are out there. Oh please spare me. I’ve been tracking and renting these VU09P FPGAs ever since Amazon AWS had them for rental. They are currently renting for approximately $0.50/hr (f1.2xlarge -> 1 FPGA) and $4.00/hr (f1.16xlarge -> 8 FPGAs). So far, it hasn’t made any sense to actually purchase one vs renting for what I use them for. But if someone had an FPGA bitstream which made renting these FPGAs less desirable, then purchasing would be preferred. By the way, requesting evidence even something as trivial as a screenshot, doesn’t imply that someone is lying. That makes sense. My comment was a little harsh but there are so many boombastic posts on this board from tire kicking newbies that claim their mining budget is $50k yet don't even have a working rig. I think OP summed it up nicely at the end of us post: "if you are serious I suggest a VU9P board. If you are skeptical then I suggest just waiting until someone else you know has an FPGA rig up and running and you can make a decision then." The good thing is that this is a software solution, not some asic pre-order. Much easier to take a wait and see approach.

No, it is not enough. I can make a 24 cores and 550 MHz with 0 WNS slack, probably 600 MHz. But it is less than 17G anyway. My ego is hurting. it is max clock 725MHz in datasheet , x24 core =17.4G but the power may be 386W

The power should be about 180-200 W.
