I have the opportunity to produce FGPA, so documentation is key. Also a good start to see how open source is the FGPA community. Any Gerber Files for FGPA ? based on Spartan 6 (XC6SLX150) or others... Thanks

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

At the moment, nobody has published free/open gerbers for an FPGA miner. Schematics are available for Icarus though.

It sounds like you want to check out Icarus and Lancelot at https://github.com/ngzhang. For the PCB there is more information than the PDF as there are also .SchDoc file - I don't know this filetype but from googling it looks like it is the file type for creating a PCBs in Altium.

The board itself is around $50, some companies offer free or almost free pick and place service if you order some decent qty. FPGA is expensive, it is possible to get volume discounts if you go bulk. You can buy a ton of used FPGA chips on ebay do chip recovery

before I ask this question, I will first apologise for being a philistine..
could someone link me to the specific gerber file for lancelot? I have the link to the github but am unsure which is which file. i'm new to this PCB business.
