Acorn M.2 FPGA based GPU Accelerator

[Ramon1]

I dont get that did 2 orders with no problems.

Good for you, I see other people with problems ordering. That it worked for you in no way means their checkout system is viable for everyone.

They are straight forward and clear with the performance numbers, but you might have a hard time wrapping your head arround their numbers.

They aren't, every official table has but a handful of numbers filled in, only Lyra2Rev2 and X16r have a decent amount of info on them but nothing is concrete, that is the entire point.

What i think is really shitty is that they have next to no information on the nest cards..
They have an onboard dma engine, so in theory you should be able to boost 4 gpu's using 2 acorns on a nest x2g card, IN A x1 motherboard slot. But noone want to confirm or deny.

One thing they are consistent about is suggesting that in most cases the best configuration is one acorn per gpu. Interpretations can vary but you seem awfully keen in thinking yours is the only one

For solo fpga mining youre the wrong place go buy a bcu1525, acorns are generaly to small to fit solo mining without to manny dirty tricks.

Last time I checked SQRL mentions standalone mining in some capacity using the CLE-215(+) acorns, why are you trying to decide what their products are intended for? Now that I think about it, did anywhere I mention I'm interested in solo fpga mining? No? Thought so. I merely said proper information on a shipping product is lacking in every aspect.

I purchased  a total of two 215+  and 1 x2g nest at about 780-790 usd.

I partially did spend that because of ohgoditisagirl   and the eth hardener pill.    I have 8 1080ti's doing  50 each   vs  33 each  a gain of 136 mh and 0 watts

if I had purchased 4 more 1080ti's and each did 33  with no pill  that would be 132mh  and 800 more watts.

So her free software is worth more then 4 x 700 = 2800 not counting I save 10 kwatt a day in power

So it is only morally correct for me to spend some of the savings  on her  store  ie one 215+

and some on her "friend"  ie squirrelsresearch store.

But  I spent 790  not 2800 or 1400   mostly because  of the way the thread was run.

 The store sales were done weird  and I have yet to see one working in the field.

Anyone had test this Cle215+ or some other?

I cant found any movies about this.....so i cant believe it!!

Thx for help

So, when it comes to Ethash, the Acorn will increase Nvidia's UP TO 10%, and AMD's UP TO 15%. And you need minimum 1 acorn per 4 GPU's, so best case scenario is you're getting about $0.45 per day boost. the Cle-101 is $200, so it'll take over 400 days for ROI.
Am I missing something?
I know it may save some energy, but most people run at 75% TDP anyway.

Well, I personally dont care if acorn will gave me 15% hashrate increase, but energy cost are my big problem, so if acorn really reduce energy cost at 60% this is really good deal for me, if I got 15% hashrate increases better, if not I dont care about.

But are you really running your cards at 100% TDP to reap the benefits of the 60-75% power draw?  You can get that through afterburner for free. I have my rigs running at 80% TDP. Some people go all the way down to 65% TDP through afterburner.

Hey guys,

This thread is pretty large and has gone over lots of options, some of these leading toward confusion. So I went through every post on here, and every article, along with Squirrels Research Labs website and made an article that I hope clears some unknowns up. If you could take a look and see if I missed anything that would be great.

https://www.freelearner.how/2018/07/15/the-acorn-fpga-gpu-accelerator-the-ultimate-guide-to-enhanced-gpu-mining/

Hope all is well.

Sincerely,

Abe

Great. Thank you.

Thats because those are the 2 algo's you get the most bang for your bucks on, so they have prioritized them

In case you want 1:1 you buy a nest x4 2 m.2 to pcie x4 converters, and some pcie x4 risers, and you can have 2 gpu and 2 acorn on the nest x4, and again due to the dma engine all high bw traffic from gpu to acorns and back should he handled on the nest x4, its not that hard to imagine what kind of setups you can do, but i would most likely have bought 10 times more acorns if they could confirm that this is the case.

Im not trying to decide anything just stating facts, if you go dig arround here you will also see it mentioned that standalone mining is not that profitable on them, You can see by looking for example at the tables, that for now primary focus is on lyrarev2 and x16r.

Because thats where you get the most boost and therefor profit with this kind of setup.

I've made an order through the form on https://store.mineority.io/ for a few of ACORN CLE mining hardware accelerators on 19th July, 2018.
Payed with ETH. Payment Status was marked as Complete, got a confirmation email.
And since then I haven't recieved any info message or feedback from the seller on my order, if it's being processed or not. I tried to contact them through email on their website, and all I had back is auto message saying that my "request N316 has been recieved and is being reviewed by their team". So it's been 6 days since, and no reply.
If anyone had same issues with them and knows if there's any other way to contact those guys plz let me know, that would help a lot.
Thx.

So you  have no confirmation email from mineority.io?

My mineority order  was paid with coin payments  i got the follow up from mineority

[Thevaibhvav.arora]

Late to this party.. but still trying to make up my mind.. the ETH performance increase expected is about 15%

I have 13 GPU(470/480 based) rigs.. so will need the X4 and 4 of the CLE 101.. that would give me ~56MH bump and expected price is about $900.. have not really read about the power consumption..  am i missing something here ?

Edit :  IS this true "so if acorn really reduce energy cost at 60% this is really good deal for me"

because if it is.. this makes perfect sense !!

I'm actually not sure about that, many of us are undervolting already, so i'm curious if that up to 60% is on top of undervolting that many are doing or is it assuming at stock voltages?  If it really is up to 60%, that is totally worth it, as I'm paying 22 cents /kwh.  a 50% decrease would be substantial.

22 cents is crazy ! what are you mining to make it worth it ??

No there weren't confirmation letters from them. And ofc I've checked spam folder etc.
So I'm lil bit frustrated here, there's a transaction confirmation from "Coin Payments" as shown on the pic. And no other contact info apart that email that wont reply back. No idea what to do atm.

upd: well there might be some site performance issues but I didnt get any reply\explanation from them anyway.

I'm runnig my rigs at 75% TDP, but energy cost in Brazil are not cheap my friend.
So your card can run at 40% tdp and still make 30 mh/s on eth? no hashless? if your cards can do this, please tell me your cards model.

I dont know, but I believe this gains are not under default settings, if you think about this, you can edit you bios and got 40~50% hash power, dont need any device for this.
I'm assuming, this energy and hash gain are under modded card profile with memory strap and undervolt, if not, this is no sense.

[evlo]

How many 1060s or rx570s can one Acorn handle if I want to go ETH route for lower consumption and bit better HR? 1 per 4 cards is just someone puling leg or official figure?

this is what happened to me with my squirrelsreasearch order.

and frankly I was a P.I.T.A. 

I posted about it on this thread. Every day

I pm'd gpuhoarder multiple times

I went on discord and asked over and over and over.

It took about 7 or 8 days to fix it.  I now have a confirmed order from squirrels research for:

 one 215+
 one next x2g

my order with minority was smooth I have an order for :

one 215+

you need to be a pest  to get it fixed  at least I did  and they fixed the order.

gpuhoarder owns the company that built the gear

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1897428

OhGodAGirl owns the company that sold you a unit

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=838402


be polite ask nice quote this post.

let us know if and when it gets fixed.

Mining ETH, I'm still generating a + but it's teeny... off 18 cards, i'm netting $5 a day at current eth value... just hodling for now.

Yeah I am Mining ETH about 300 mh. Paying 18 cents for summer power.  I make some profit.

But oct 1 power drops to 10 cents and savings from this item should also help

I live in Ontario and pay ~ 6.7 c/kWh on average. We recently had a change of Provincial government because people (among other issues) were unhappy about high cost of electricity. I have no idea how you guys can tolerate 18c rate.
