Hello, my developing crypto-currency business, BlockBurner (mostly a blog atm, but more to come), is researching feasibility in the generation of a real FPGA Scrypt Litecoin mining appliance, specialized for the task much like the SHA256 FPGA's and ASIC's Bitcoin is about to begin running on.

To do this, there are a few things I need to know from the crypto-currency community, please answer each question if you respond to this post-

1. Do you think the market and community is ready for FPGA Litecoin?

2. Is there definite interest in FPGA Litecoin machines? Would you buy one if the price was reasonable? What is reasonable?

3. Would you pre-order one to support first round funding for prototyping and first wave production?

1. It is ready. We' ve been talking and waiting for this a long time ago.
2. I would definately buy one if it's really worth it. It should be cheaper than GPUs, quickier and you should consider the difficulty rise.
3. I would, but only if you guarantee me about the hashes that it would produce.

TIA

We will see- but I doubt it with be neither cheaper nor quicker. FPGA's were not cheaper then GFX card or Faster. Only use electricity, smaller and less heat.
