Forget lyra2z, mtp(new algo) soon.

This thread has 44 pages now and you(fpga devs) not provided any proof, just theory.
You(fpga devs) say : go, buy fpga and later we maybe implement and maybe release some bitstreams.

I ask again : What are you going to mine with this fpga?

Let's sum up this discussion

Keccak - will work, low profit
Tribus - will work, low profit due to low network hashrate
Phi1612 - will work, forget it, devs changing algo due to anti-fpga and anti-asic policy
Skunkhash - will work, low profit due to low network hashrate
x17 - will work with 2 FPGA, need a verilog masochist, profit will be destroyed with 450x fpga
x16r - most likely will not work, or skip hard blocks at hashing,  need a verilog masochist
x16s - will work with 2 FPGA, need a verilog masochist
lyra2z - will work, forget it, devs changing algo due to anti-fpga and anti-asic policy
lyra2v2 - will work, low profit, asic soon
lyra2 - will work, low profit, low network hashrate
ethash - will work with ddr4 ram, low profit
equihash  - will work with ddr4 ram, low profit
cn-7, cn-light, etc - will work, low profit
Xevan - will work with 4 FPGA, need a verilog masochist, low profit due to low network hashrate
bitcore - I think, it will fit, and work with good hashrate(600MH), but profit will be destroyed due to low network hashrate
nist5, neoscrypt - I did not investigate, possible candidates for fpga. |

What algorithms have I forgotten?

After follow this thread for a few days, I took a look at all algorithms I could find. I reach the same conclusion as above. There will be limited choices for our FPGAs.

Besides, the cost recovery period will be double/tripled when all these FPGAs rush into the market. This is like the Bitmain asics. 3-month payback period when you order them, 6-month when you got them, and you need actually mine with them for 2 years to get back all the cost in the end.
