Hi Lazyriver

i thought that was part of what FPGA represented, flexibility to mine whatever you wanted even the coins on asics ? unless do you know that FPGA are completely infeasible on FPGA ?

Just because you CAN mine it, does not mean you SHOULD mine it.

FPGA's need specialized software specific written for a certain algo, and if an algo is ASIC dominated, and the FPGA would not beat the current ASIC speed/power ratio, it is not sensible to create a specialized software when noone will use it.

On some algo's, the battle has been lost already. Take bitcoin for example, a FPGA would not beat out current Asics. You can mine bitcoin on your GPU, but you don't right?
