By expanding the capabilities of an Asic chip to allow for other purposes besides mining, one would assume that this would increase market share?

The more open you are about your hardware compared to BFL the more customers you will get. People appreciate transparency. Good stuff.
This I agree with this. While I do happen to be a BFL fanboy - I like the level of customer service here so much, that I'm making room in my budget to start purchasing some bASIC equipment as well... Never hurts to diversify.

I tried to ask this as a general question about FPGA mining devices in a separate post on the forum, but the post is somehow gone. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Has anyone tried to use the ModMiner Quad for other purposes than Bitcoin mining? Are the I/O capabilities good enough for e.g. crypto purposes (WPA cracking, HDMI decryption, etc) or to work as a DSP in a SDR based OpenBTS femtocell, etc? Anything else you can think of? The ModMiner Quad can be re-purposed to do pretty much any other computation common with FPGA's as long as it does not require on board memory. I have already seen someone use one for WEP cracking (hobbyist) and I am sure that is just the tip of the ice burg. You would need to modify our firmware (which is opensource btw) and write a bitstream for whatever type of hashing you had in mind.

I would like to grab more of them in a 4HE enclosure.
Do you have any Quads in a 4HE now? I'd love to see pics.

Probably switched hosts and is waiting for dns for the domain to pass over is my guess.

This means that the specs along with the new website are going to be release soon ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If I where not from my iPhone I would try to check the root dns server for their (uncached) answer, upgrade my Host file and see the new website before everyone else ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm excited! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Ok, I was wrong. They are offline for real. They host at BTCWEBHOST.COM that is currently offline Most probably BTCWEBHOST.COM is a reseller of NEOSURGE.COM. The last suspended BTCWEBHOST.COM that as a consequence suspended our website. I don't know how crazy I was to host such a commercial website on something like BTCWEBHOST.COM. I leave a link here for the one that should get my money: http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/public/sites/Just in case you are not able to setup a server yourself.
