Acorn M.2 FPGA based GPU Accelerator

[MinedTangerine]

They are fixing the Fedex APIs as it calculates it wrong.

What about the double shipping charge from coinpayments?

I've tried to place an order several times but I don't want to pay for shipping twice... Yet the total including shipping is sent to coinpayments and then coinpayments adds the shipping fee again.

They are fixing that to. For me I guess I need to skipp this. Postage + VAT + custom = 2x the price.

No bank card payment ?

Looking forward to feedback once people start getting the first batch, I decided to hold off until these are sold by distributors on ebay or amazon similar to the way the moonlander2 is sold.

[N2DCRYPT]

Holding off as well. Too little information as to actual performance/profit to fork over a GPU's worth of money for one.

I also bought one Acorn CLE 215+ on Mineority. Buying from SQRL is too costly

[66tbird]

Had grand plans and could of swung for the 215's but in the end sprung for a couple 101's just to get a taste of it on a 580 b250 rig. I'll get more if the results are there. Besides, I've got a bcu1525 to dial in soon enough.

Same here, trying one CLE215+ out see if it's worth it.

No Masari?

so if i had one CLE-215+ on a rig with 6 1080 TI's...what would the net performance gain for that entire rig?   Or will one CLE-215+ only apply to 1-2 gpu's?

1 or 2 gpu's


I ordered   the 2 card carry case.

and 1 215+    from squirrels

so I have 2 215+  and a 2 card carry case.  spent more then 730usd

It will work with all. The bandwidth requirement is a lot less when you spread to many cards like that, so you might even get good results with 1x risers. You'd want the cards running using PCI-e v3 for best results, though.
A single 215+ is basically going to give you 30MH - 60MH depending on algo regardless of the number of cards.

Ordered two of the 215+ from Mineority--didn't know they were selling them at the time.

Does anyone have a idea what m.2 adapter would be best for these I haven't really played with m.2 adapters and don't want to upgrade my motherboards
edit: I'm a idiot and didn't see I could order a 2x or 4x adapter

[CCRiggz]

Can someone clarify the requirement for Acorn in relation to PCIE bandwidth? I know the Acorn itself is M.2 but do the GPUs it accelerates have to be on full speed PCIE slots, ie. can Acorn accelerate GPUs that are on 1X risers?

I have AMD and NVIDIA rigs on Asrock BTC 110+ plus boards with various numbers of GPUs on them using 1x risers. This board has has an M.2 slot I can put an Acorn into but I am not clear if the Acorn requires the target GPUs to be on a faster PCIE connection

probably best to join the discord, I believe since every setup is a bit different it's hard to say:    https://discord.gg/jdw8jZB

THX- I am on this forum and Discord and finding it hard to navigate the info. I asked the same question in Discord and was referred to the FAQ, I think I will sit this one out

I am getting 2 acorn 215+  putting it into a pcie slot holder

I have plenty of boards with lots of slots.

this should be easy peasy.

I may just run  2 acorn miners like below

phil  that 2 card option looks good.  why not the 4 card one?

[philipma1957]

@yankees

I had a ton of problems putting orders in today

as of this moment  my orders are not marked correctly.

first order did not go to coin payments I gave up and saw the option to get one from the mine0rity.

so 1 dead order of 1 215+
1 good order of 1 215+  this seems to be fully credited

I went back to order again I saw the option for the 2 card holder Could not find the option on themineority but it did make an order on squirrelsresearch
coin payments would not take the coin  so 2 dead orders on squirrels 1 good on themineority

I said f it went out and about tried again

said  I will order the 4 card holder and 1 2 card holder and 3x 215 +  came to 1250 usd I said too much on sites that just fuck up I canceled it.

so 2 dead orders that would not work with coin payments
1 cancelled order by me 1 good order to minority
I tried 1 last time

on squirrels placed a 2 card holder order and 1 215 +  about 440  and coin payments worked took my money.

and squirrels  canceled this order said I had 2 dead orders and a canceled one so we are cancelling this order

but I paid in btc and coin payments said deal with squirrels so I am in the following spot

780 or so made in btc 340  to themineority for 1 215+  seems good.

440 made to squirrels for 1 2 card holder and 1 215+   money is paid order is marked cancelled

too bad I had so many issues

[TheYankeesWin!]

I would have like to see you test the 4 card board.
