dudes prolly affiliated in some kind of way and gets % of the sale when you mark him as your referrer.

writing HDL that performs 10x better than a high-end GPU is questionable

but yes, a well done FPGA should perform better than a 1080ti, but not 10x

+1

I wanted to make such a project, but my investors make decisions very slowly.

There is an opinion that the GPU is too complicated to be implemented at the FPGA, and therefore it is impossible to make a good mining on the FPGA. This is a wrong opinion. In the FPGA you can make specialized instructions that are not available in the GPU. You do not need to implement the ALU with double precision and other unnecesassary stuff.

VU09P has at least x10 advantage in speed and power consumption in comparison with 1080ti. It had 1 month of ROI in late 2017-beginning 2018.
I am very open minded but at the same time, a little in the way of evidence doesn’t hurt.

Also, the blanket statement that “VU09P has at least x10 advantage in speed and power consumption in comparison with 1080ti…” is simply false.  Some algorithms will be better suited for a VU09P FPGA while others are better suited for a GTX 1080 Ti.

In any event, I am very interested and will wait for proof of hash rate before placing any large orders.
