Thank you for your explanations and I understood what was said, much obliged.
No need to explain what was said below, I have the patience to wait and see how throughput can be doubled or quadrupled when the cards are daisy chained as stated below. I must not be very good at math as I thought

- It is possible by using data from initial algorithms to project the hashrate within +/-10% for future algorithms, and in that light the expected rates (per card) are about 300MH/s for X17 & X16R, 25MH/s for Neoscrypt, 600MH/s for Lyra2v2; 150MH/s for Xevan (Bittware card only for Xevan!). For Equihash it is much harder to calculate the projected hash rate. I don't think Ethash would be profitable enough to be worth it. Those numbers are just projections though, and their profits are in the same range as the initial algorithms being released, with X16R and Xevan looking the best at around $75/day
- X17 and X16R require two FPGA cards daisy chained together with 2 x 100G ethernet cables, one FPGA does half the function, the other FPGA does the other half
- Xevan requires FOUR FPGA cards daisy chained together with 6 x 100G ethernet cables; this is only possible with the Bittware card

Clarifying the projected hash rates
X17: 2 cards daisy chained get 600MH/s total
X16R: 2 cards daisy chained get 600MH/s total
Xevan: 4 Bittware cards daisy chained get 600MH/s total
X17: 2 cards daisy chained get 600MH/s total
X16R: 2 cards daisy chained get 600MH/s total
Xevan: 4 Bittware cards daisy chained get 600MH/s total
