I took the survey. Some of the questions are difficult to answer with any certainty without more information. I'm not sure how many I want until I know whether going from 1 accelerator to 2 produces diminishing returns, for example. Hard to say which model I'm interested in without knowing anything about the difference in performance.
I think this can be used with an m.2 to pcie adapter, right? For a motherboard that has open pcie slots obviously. My boards don't have m.2 slots (TB250 BTC PRO and TB85).
the slot the pcie->m2 adapter plugs into needs to be run at least as x4 pcie lanes (gen 2 or better iirc). All of my pcie slots are set to gen2 in bios. So presumably the adapter would work under these circumstances?

You speak of 30 MH of increase using it of hybrid form, that increase with how many GPU's would be?, You have approximate date of commercialization? A greeting from Spain.
Maybe I missed it, but some clarification would be needed.. Is the bump in hash per gpu or combined bump per gpu group?

I notice on the survey that RX 480's are not listed.. will they not get a bump using this new tech?

Maybe I missed it, but some clarification would be needed.. Is the bump in hash per gpu or combined bump per gpu group? I have the exact same question re: the ballpark 30 MH figure. I was also disappointed that the GTX 970 and RX 550 aren't on the list. I'm a baller on a budget! Finally, (another repeated question) does the software work in combination with existing mining software to bridge the gap between the GPU and FGPA or does it do all the mining itself? Incidentally could researchers benefit from it to do whatever research it is they do with GPUs?

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?

All of my pcie slots are set to gen2 in bios. So presumably the adapter would work under these circumstances? as long as the slot has at least 4 pcie lanes assigned to it, yes. check the mobo manual to make sure the slots are set up right, the pcie lanes per slot vary depending on bios settings.

I completed the survey and am looking forward to more detailed information. Unfortunately about half of our motherboards do not have a M.2 slot, so I'd like to hear more about the pcie to m.2 adapters in particular.

I've been looking for a fpga to program that is around this price point. I've tried the cyclone demo boards as I want to make a html coin miner. Html coin algo Is unique it does 3 rounds of sha256. Basically running at 2/3 speed of bitcoin algo. 700Mh/s on a 1070.. would the fpga be any use for this bitcoin style algo. I'm thinking it would be prob same speed but lot less watts. Cheers.

Looks interesting, do you have an aprox. order/ship date or not yet?
Mid to Late June for all orders and information. First batch ship a few weeks after. Are we still on target for this time frame to order? I'm in Australia and that would tie in perfect because I need to spend some money before tax time (June 31st)

I'll take 20 if the ROI is 100 days or so.

I filled out the survey. Would like to test a few before installing in clients rigs or recommending to others.

My gaming pc has an x4 slot but no m.2. Any chance some of these will be made for an x4 ff instead of m.2?
I imagine the market for this product will be a lot of smaller time miners who can't afford to risk $4k on a full fpga. A lot of older mobos have a spare x4 but no m.2.

I would also be interested in quite a few ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) But yes, some clarifications would be nice first - for example hashrates increases in various algos.

So what's the best cost/performance effective option for those of us with several GPUs sitting on motherboards such as the ASUS B250 which has 18 pci-e x1 slots? Will there be some standard go-to motherboard? I would like that very much and don't mind paying for it as long as it fits in with performance/cost considerations.
And... I've completed some survey but I don't know how accurately anyone could realistically hope to evaluate such surveys given that the consumers completing the survey still do not have accurate performance statistics or proof of concept.
I'm ready to purchase as many as would be feasible for a 14 GPU rig and perhaps more later but that all depends on performance and trust.

Well said. I would like to purchase as many as I need for 14 rigs but still need clarity on a variety of things.
