I propose we merge custom hardware into mining hardware: All viable bitcoin mining hardware today is "custom" to some extent. I also propose we create a "mining hardware development" subforum to host the small amount of actual development discussion.
Thoughts?

Hmm, from a maintenance perspective...how can you easily establish 'development' from the 'established' products? What I tend to see atm is lots of initial discussions (dev) possibly resulting in a real product. Obviously the market will mature more and more, having more established manufacturers posting on their new and directly deliverable products. However I feel that maintaining that is operating in the grey zone (?). |

I think its fine as it is. If there was no need for non custom hardware talk, why are there still 100s of posts in there? We don't want non-custom in custom so why force them into here.

I think back then the non-custom hardware had much more GPU related discussions which are now obsolete. There doesn't seem to be a reason to split off ASICs into "custom hardware" anymore.

I think that the ASIC related discussions could be moved to the Hardware section and discussion of things like K16 boards could stay in the Custom hardware section.

Go look in the regular hardware forum... most of what gets put there gets moved by mods into custom hardware, and most of what remains is arguably misplaced anyways. |

Seeing as the distinction used to be gpu vs other. Why not split it like that, make a gpu mining sub forum and make custom the main forum for hardware

Fine by me since just about every GPU mining thread posted is slated for the altcoin area. I don't even have GPU mining code in cgminer any more, and there is no such thing as commodity hardware relevant for mining bitcoin.

ugh this is bad idea because we would need to make a separate sub-forum for "scrypt" mining and "SHA256" mining. Right now custom hardware is de facto SHA256 mining and mining is scrypt mining.

No it's not. The custom hardware topic is for bitcoin mining. Post something about anything else and you'll get your arse removed immediately to the altcoin topic. |

Well, the mining rig photos thread has lot of litecoin in there too.
Why not just create 4 subfolders: CPU, GPU, FPGA and ASIC, that should cover it?
*secretly hoping for a FPGA coin with dynamic hashing, would QuarkCoin work?*
We need to take advantage of all those SPARTAN-6 y'know!

I was thinking this the other day. The split made sense when ASICs were theoretical and GPU were mainstream. Today nobody mines Bitcoins with anything other than ASICs and it seems there is some cross posting and "incorrect" posting which means people end up reading both forums anyways.
