Hi,

To my understanding ASIC's are application specific and thus requires me to have an ASIC designed for my specific goals. As my code implicates highly non-standard calculations (no double sha) a far cheaper goal would be to go with GPU's. My goal is to build a 32 GPU cluster. Each node with 4x 7990 = 8 GPU's so with 4 machine's I'm all set.

Now only the cooling is an issue which I think would be solved by using water cooling (chillers) instead of open-air systems and heavy A/C units.
