While the FPGA advantage is mainly power consumption I picked the whirlpool hash function because it runs about 10-50 times faster on hardware than other hash functions. That said, the move to FPGA's will be a huge leap forward in terms of hash output vs GPU devices.

Thank you for your support.
That violates the most basic requirement (in my opinion) for every coin. That is, to be mineable by everyone with a computer.
But I don't expect from you to understand this  Cheesy
You proved before, that you are a great developer but you don't  think too much of the morals of your creations.
FPGA support is an energy efficient evolutionary step forward. I myself cannot mine Vanillacoin because GPU's are too costly to operate currently. Cool

Thank you for your support.
I understand this, but the fact is, you need to buy specialized hardware for mining.
At this moment, I can mine Monero with my processor and Vanilla with my (measly) graphics card. I can run office applications with my processor too and play games with my graphics card. What other thing can I do with an FPGA?


Mine some vanilla knockoff shitcoins
