No r3eflection on yourself, but there are just soooo manyt scams around that nobody will trust anybody else without a show of proof.

I suggest getting a dev board, make you algo work even if highly restricted, then show the community how it will scale if you had more resources.

Dev board can be obtained for just a few hundred $$, clearly if you need special hardware setups you will need to get some funding through your own closer networks (your own $$, friends, family, put a call out to meet with LTC miners in your local area).

Obviously I'm not running a scam.
I'm making an offer to to have a chance to help fund me so I can try this out.
The minimum works out to less than a dollar at current rates. Most people spend more on satoshi dice.
In exchange you get to know everything I know, learn and discover as I go along.
When the process is done, you get everything you need to build one yourself.

It's a $10,000 FPGA, that price includes the devboard. I know you guys are used to Xylinx and other lower end chips, but this is a chip designed for a completely different application it just has certain characteristics that make it an ideal miner.

However it is $10k. Because it costs so dang much, I'm not going to try and build a community around it. The only people who would be even interested at that price point are companies selling mining hardware and I really don't want to see this commercialized. As the price comes down on the FPGA it's possible a community would crop up over time, but I really don't want to get married to a hardware project.
But it is a fascinating project and if nothing else at least folks are aware it's possible now at least in theory.
