mike_la_jolla checking in here to clarify some FPGA questions.

- Those of you that think you can do a custom ASIC are nuts. The expense and effort of an ASIC would cost millions ($USD). The Genomic search market isn't even large enough to support a custom ASIC.

The EFF built Deep Crack for less than $250,000, I thought he has make it with custom ASIC DES chips (called Deep Crack or AWT-4500) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_crack.

How you can help? A full implementation would be great

I would give you 150BTC for a miner implementation (vhdl or verilog) on Spartan-6. Maybe there are other user who would donate. You should write your Bitcoin address in your Signature
