Hey,
Im looking for a all-in-one tutorial buy site + explanation how work FPGA
It is better to buy the version at 5k or 1k?
What tests were you able to do and how do you make it work?

Really thanks !!

Just curious. Say he gets a tutorial and learns some fpga programming. Dont you need knowledge of how hashing actualy works as well to implement it?

Yes, the barrier to entry is far greater than any other popular form of mining and, currently, there is no community. That said a couple of members here are starting to have slightly open discussions that it seems even they are realizing benefits themselves in participating.

Like fpga's the work on fpga mining is incredibly parallelized with each person interested having to solve the very same problems everyone else is solving or has already solved. Understandably greed is a stronger motive than the altruism that started the open source projects that this technology stands on the shoulders of.

Ironically, for fpga's that parallelization is what makes them so efficient. The same cannot be said of the lack of community within fpga software development.
