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.
Hm, hm this means that you don't see future value growth of VNL which actually could come true because of FPGA's and fact that nowdays besides P&D mostly price of electricity is what determines price of the coin, but as I said...

This coin is different.  It's not a clone like the coins you're talking about.  It's superior to bitcoin/peercoin/blackcoin in many ways already.  It can be compiled on any platform, and I don't think it will be too long until we have staking mobile wallets downloadable from the apple and android app stores.

UDP layer is scheduled for Q3 and zero confirmation transactions are scheduled for Q4.
