Not really. I'm just amused by some of the stories i'm hearing. For example, why would anyone want to pay $4000 for an FPGA board containing an export controlled FPGA that might, allegedly, implement some algo written by somebody which might ROI sometime, in the perfect world, when Intel is going to flood the market with cheap ultrascale+ class FPGAs real soon now ?

Hope and greed spring eternal.

Let me guess - to save mining from centralization ! lol
