No. my implementation of the CN is very raw ... I'm ashamed to spread its code (((

Ah, I was all ready to give you a big pile of merit Cheesy -- I'll give you a little stack instead. Thanks for the share.




Do you design your boards? Would you like to test a few algorithms written by me?

Still waiting to receive my copies of the VCU1525. I'm currently just testing on a VCU118 until the dev boards get in.

If you want to pop into the discord here: https://discord.gg/ZEXCHt there's a big group of developers and i'll have one of the admins tag you.



Hello

Was just wondering if you knew if the bitsteam available now.(http://zetheron.com/Downloads/)

Will it work on the AES-KU040-DB-G board?

Thanks

Good find on that link, but honestly I think this will only work on VCU1525 as mentioned on their website. They even mentioned that you should modify the hardware - on a 6 thousand dollar FPGA

Seems interesting but I think I'll stay with my Xeon Phis. Still slaying CN-LiteV7 for a fraction of the price.

I like crypto

Bitstreams are compiled not only for a specific device but a specific device on a specific board. Unless the bitstream is compiled to your FPGA (in this case a KU040 dev board), it will not work.

Just out of curiosity what's the machine specs and what's the approximate compile time for the two algos VCU1525 supports?

VCU1525 thats on fpga.land website supports lyra2z and CN-V1?  how long to compile them on the host machine.  FPGA bitstream compilation usually takes a lot of time (well, P&R step actually)

I've seen the image of the board online and it shows a lot of detail.  However, after reading the hardware modifications, I'm trying to visualize and understand why to remove the fan connector and why/how to add an 8 pin PCIe power connector. I don't understand the purpose or see a spot to put a connector like that on there. What am I missing?

Hey guys in my garage I found an old ASIC miner the KnCMiner Jupiter.

Looking closer they have a Altera Cyclone IV FPGA for the controller.

Any idea if this can be programmed to mine anything.

Hello,

Thanks guys for all the great info on here. I'm new to FPGA's but not mining.

I do have a few questions below pertaining to using FPGA boards being used for cryptocurrency mining. I hope the community can help me with some useful information before I make a purchase.

1. Zetheron's site states that some or all of the mods may be done by the delivery date of the VCU1525 FPGA edition. Is this correct? Could it be ready for mining out of the box and if not will the Xilinx/Zetheron support teams help with mods to get us up and mining?
2. Is the Bittware XUPVV4 crypto edition specifically for mining? Are they currently for sale or still in development?
3. I already have a GPU rig that I built but I am not a ''coder''. Which product would be more of a ''plug and play'' board?
4. I read on the website that to mod the VCU1525 there are 2 fairly simple steps and then advanced mods. If I don't do the advanced mods will the FPGA still mine? Or how much performance will be lost percent-wise?
5. Will Zetheron post more Algo downloads soon and add tutorials to get people up and mining? Will algo changes be as simple as in GPU mining [i.e., find miner, change algo batch file, and find pool/wallet? Will they post tutorials on this as well?
6. Do you know if people are still able to join the bulk discount?
7. There are 4 Algos listed on the first thread and working on 2 more. I only see 1 listed on the website download section. Any idea when the others will be posted for download with instructions? Will the downloads work with both FPGA's listed above?

If the community has answers it would be much appreciated. I'm sure I'm not the only one with these questions when we are talking about investing 5-6k.

I am aware they are bitstream that's why the question to dev.

It depends on the design. I've had designs take over 36 hours to compile. Some take just a few minutes. There are a number of factors at play there.

I'm using a dual processor 4116 xeon with 256GB memory and a bunch of SSDs. I have a server with so many cores because we run multiple compiles simultaneously.

Gotcha.  Thanks.  That's what I was looking for.  P&R needs so much RAM.
