Acorn M.2 FPGA based GPU Accelerator

[vapourminer]

from comments on discord looks like the sqrl miner will not be released until after the holidays. they were trying for Christmas but didnt make it. new soon ^(tm) date: 2019

Doesn’t anyone find this to be a bit suspicious?

SQRL Miner has been delayed for..... months

With all that has happened, not at all.

Any updates?

[philipma1957]

Just went to discord
and no software as of today

All Acorn orders have shipped I believe, minus any that were too close to Christmas
just waiting on SQRL Miner and Acorn Miner is available meanwhile

just waiting for SQRL to clean up the mess Kristy made is all :smile:
SQRL_LimsToday at 9:59 AM
for your previous question @Honja it would fully accelerate two GPUs, sometimes the others may be affected but it would average out to 2/6 cards accelerated
SQRL_MeatlegsToday at 10:00 AM
Being completely transparent with you Honja, I would wait until the accompanying software (SQRL miner) is released. No doubt there will be reviews, as it stands just now, the acorns can only be used for standalone mining on zen protocol.
Just wanting to temper your expectations there :smiley:

The Acorn to GPU ratio will vary by algorithm as well, as the data rate requirements will differ algo to algo as different parts and proportions will be offloaded to the FPGA to compute in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions | SQRL
What is Acorn? How does Acorn work? What CPU do I need? Can I load my own bitstreams on Acorn? Get all the answers for cryptocurrency mining with Acorn.

The main selling point would be the low power draw of the device vs a gpu.
and that there is no public software for it yet ti mine in conjunction with gpus
The hardest part for most people is meeting the data speed requirements for how connected the acorn and gpu is
as mining hardware currently trades away that very stat to allow for more devices to be used at once

#when you read updates

@Honey #notananwser to previous # :SoonTM:
BDFToday at 12:23 PM
There is no promised date
that update is the most recent info
if not there, assume there is no further info
HoneyToday at 12:23 PM
lol and it said they wouldnt update until 2019 @phildo
specifically after Jan 2nd
phildoToday at 12:25 PM
not :SoonTM:  enough :weary:
just waiting to fire up the rigs again when it comes out...

Can you mine Ethash with fgpa with profit?
Sorry someone claiming you can ..
phildoToday at 12:26 PM
$0 electricty = everything profitable
zeeToday at 12:26 PM
All the conversation I have seen is it’s not worth to develops BS for fgpa because it’s not worth the price of the hardware

He won’t tell me the hardware name so I am not sure if anything he says is true?
HoneyToday at 12:29 PM
lots pf people have made grandiose claims about ethash, no ones released anything with validity to the public yet
zeeToday at 12:30 PM
Is there is a BS out there I would assume people would know abt it
phildoToday at 12:34 PM
all my info is under NDA too. please refrain from speaking with me moving forward

@zee the thing FPGAs and ETH as far as Acorns go is they are suppose to reduce the amount power consumed by GPUs.

HonjaToday at 9:47 AM
So hypothetically speaking what if i owned a 6-way 1060 and 1 acorn cle 215? Will it just give me the performance boost on 2 GPU's and iw ould get normal regular hashrate on the other 4?
:thinking:
SQRL_LimsToday at 9:50 AM
I'll query that but might be some time before I have an answer due to it being holiday season
hopefully someone here can answer meanwhile
HonjaToday at 9:53 AM
i see.. im quite interested in purchasing this for my gpu farm, but alot of mystery surrounding this project atm still and alot of questions unanswered
hopefully some more answer will come out soon as i see ppl actually have the products in hand

For my first wish... I would like to wish that upon the execution of all future wishes, that you do not perversely instantiate them, and that all wishes be executed upon without any negative outcomes
zeeToday at 12:56 PM
Is the sqrl miner out?
I got my acorn on thanks giving day ... haven’t done shit with them
iAm9001Today at 12:57 PM
For my second wish... I wish for a world class legal team with experience in constructing wishes with a genie
Damnit, I screwed this up already
If I could have a do-over, I would wish away the rule that says you may not wish for more wishes.  My second wish would be for more wishes.  My third wish would be my previous first wish (regarding non perverse-instantiation of wishes)
OhGodAJeannieToday at 12:59 PM
@iAm9001 I can only grant wishes for my Master :hearts:

iAm9001Today at 12:59 PM
Then I would finally wish for a crack legal team with experience in genie / wish affairs

that was copy paste of last 4 hours of messages from sqls acorn discord

Just went to discord
and no software as of today
[...random ramblings...]

i believe the last more or less official statement (made just before Christmas?) was not to expect any official statements or timelines until Jan 2nd. only a skeleton crew on the sqrl discord right now.

yeah and I ordered a m10 31 th at 2200 watts for 870 shipped to USA due in 6 days

which is no big deal but I had spent 794 in squirrel gear.  I was lucky to get a refund.  Before btc dropped.

I feel for those waiting on this gear/software

[minefarmbuy]

I'm interested in playing with these but seems my poor software ability will be a hindrance.

[highaltitude]

Mine look cool just sitting on my desk. They run so quiet too, no errors, 10000MH/s stand alone. Its a wonder these didn't come out sooner. Oh yeah they did!, I think they were called "Pet Rock" not Acorns

[mk111]

It has been a while since I checked this thread... LOL What is going on here!!!
Even the so called legit guys these days cannot deliver.

 It is sad they do not have the full software as promised.

Won't matter much if it comes out it is Jan vs Aug and  the prices have dropped a ton.

I'm just waiting for the next excuse to come up and it being delayed another month(s)

Could be much worst, You could have ordered a dcr1 obelisk and got rekt.  No delivery, no product, 1 year delays, negative profitability. USA companies struggle to compete with china companies for delivering mining products.

I have to say that what fascinates me the most are those people who are constantly discussing (on Discord) some mods involving Acorn and all the subtleties of mining ZEN Protocol, without any concern about gains, money and time wasted. This is unreal to me.

People who believe the software will come are currently spending their time tweaking and enjoying the hardware they have on hand. Not sure what you don't get.

I do not get how much they think their time is worth. In Ontario, Canada minimum wage is C$15/h :-)

well it depends on what you wanted to do with an acorn setup.
some people hobby mine.  one or two builds   profit is no big deal to them.

Some people  had 10x 6 card 1080ti rigs and a few 8 card 1070ti rigs.

they hoped this gear would help them maybe they got a nest and 2 215x acorns like I did. Thinking they would expand to more once they new it was good.

they got refunds.

bigger guys skipped these and got fpga's
