I had to watch a really boring "entertainment" program and used that time to edit the above file into a working C++ program. Echo was never used. Due to the peculiar permutation order Blake and Bmw are always fixed at position 0 and 1 respectively, only the remaining 8 positions change. So using the terminology from the whitefire990's post above timetravel10 requires only 9 reconfigurable blocks assuming that only Groestl requires a double block.
This is very interesting. I did some math and there is a very decent chance Bitcore would fit in a VU9P (while for sure it fits in a more expensive VU13P). Any chance you read my PM? I have two VCU-1525's |

Where can I get it?
Send an email to both persons from the first post. No response.

There's a fairly new coin I'd like to mine on AWS but I'm not a programmer. I've been reading up on vhdl but I really don't know where start. Would anyone be willing to assist me?

If you don’t want to publically state the coin, pm me. If you’re not a programmer, or a hardware engineer, or an FPGA developer (very different from a programmer), you likely have a very steep slope to getting an efficient miner running a new algorithm. |

It probably did you a favor and saved you from a long message from me a week ago before you and others had shared a wealth of information with me. |

Xilinx has a large range of FPGA's chips. Why is VU9P the preferred one at this stage? Is it due to the larger than norm Total Block RAM?

The VU9P is the chip Xilinx has chosen to use in their VCU1525 boards as well as their VCU118 dev boards. The chip used for the dev boards is usually a mid-line chip with good yield, and the volume means it almost always has a better price to performance ratio than any other chip. |

Anyone trying to organize a group buy of the VCU1525 kits ?

Just buy direct from avnet or the distributor. Going to be the cheapest as they are subsiding it. |

The chip used for the dev boards is usually a mid-line chip with good yield, and the volume means it almost always has a better price to performance ratio than any other chip. Actually I got a quote from Bittware on their VU13P setup, and in theory the ROI was (surprisingly) a little better than the VU9P, but it is irrelevant, because unless there is some type of innovation, it is currently not possible to use anywhere close to all the logic on the VU13P, as this would burn 700W+, and the package and BGA pins can't withstand that power level. It is possible that some type of workaround will be found. Until then the VU9P is the biggest feasible FPGA. |

Will CN7, Equihash and Neoscrypt fit on one VU9P? Or will one need to have two or 3 to get those algorithm to work?
I want to order two dev kits but need some idea if I can just one or should I now buy 3.

Congratulations on the release!!!... now with “mining” word is involved I’ve lernd over the years that ROI can’t be thrusted as difficulties will raise and algos do change and evolve. Sorry for my skeptical approach but to invest 32K for 150 days (in average) spooks me off. And when this will go “famous” the price of cards will increase and will scare ppl away.
Just my 2c here....

Just buy direct from avnet or the distributor. Going to be the cheapest as they are subsiding it. Got 12 days to get your avnet order in before they increase the price. Then the group buy i'm trying to put together will be the cheapest option. |

The stats for Smartcash (Keccak) on smartcash.cc looks interesting, for minimal change in number of workers, the hashrate varies between 2TH and 5TH. This is across the US and EU pools. https://us-mine.smartcash.cc/statsAnyone knows if this is just a display issue? I was thinking about the FPGA pre-testers but that is a huge number... |
