do you have skype or similar? im also into fpgr mining but dont want to share here in forum

I am very sorry, I do not like voice chatting with strangers. I have XMPP for chatting though. You can also contact me via pm if you wish Smiley

While it is possible to put the SHA-256 algorithm into an FPGA, in general it isn't cost effective to do so if you are seeking a profit on your effort. Back in the 2012-2013 time frame, there were multiple FPGA efforts for Bitcoin mining. At the time they were a step forward, but have been completely replaced by ASIC in terms of profit seekers since the end of 2013.

While I think it's a dandy home project, you should plan on getting your satisfaction from making it work at all.

Yes this is exaclty what I am up to Smiley I also have a spare Orange PI zero and a spare solar panel. A little solar driven FPGA miner would be a dandy home project indeed Smiley I still have the FPGA issue though ...
Maybe buying this DE0 board would make sense, it is a bit expensive though.
