Hi all,

Sorry I haven't had time to read this thread, I have been working like nuts trying to deliver as promised.

The Keccak-24core/708MHz (17GH/s) bitstream burns 306A and will run on an unmodified VCU1525 for approximately 10 seconds. To run it continuously requires extensive modifications as described here:

The Keccak bitstream is now posted live on the website:

Also, there is an interesting table where I calculated how many FPGA's each algorithm can support:

So based on the current market, FPGA-friendly algorithms can support 25,000 FPGA's.

Thank you for your work and also the no BS, honest assessment.

IMHO, there is an error in your working when you assume that a 50% increase in hash-rate will not change profits much. A 50% increase will decrease overall profitability by 33% per hash. So the estimate on Tribus at $41 per card will actually be $28.

Also in your working I think you have split the profit half-way between DNR (33) and KEYCO(46). Whereas their network hash-rate is 439 MH/S and 113 MH/s respectively, and hence the actual projection should $36, further adjusted down by 33% to $24.

To me its clear the once mainstream mining oriented FPGA card are available, that will be the future as regards to non-ASIC space.
