Hi Guys,

I'm relatively new to bitcoin, but not to FPGAs. After developing a few things in VHDL I thought it might be fun to do our own bitstream, so who is in? I don't know if we get it better than the ztex one but since it doesn't use any enhanced stuff like DSPs or blockrams there might be some space for improvements besides, I think it is good to have a second choice, because diversity is always good.

So, who is in?
Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

well, thanks, but its not that hard, we only need a very lightweight sha256 implementation. the algorithm itself isn't very hard to understand, but making it light and smooth will take some work Smiley and when we have that we basically need to add a little bitcoin stuff, if I understood it completely that is just a small thing checking if our hash we found is good enough (in terms of difficulty).
when we have these two things we just need to add a UART, since basically every FPGA board supports UART and then we are done with it.
but if I had enough time to do everything myself I wouldn't ask here Smiley
