Don't get me wrong it's not you or this project I distrust, its anything in cryptocurrency at the moment. I have been scammed before so very wary now. so if you guys are legitimate then I apologize, as I would love you buy these cards, especially if you can put unencrypted bitstreams in them as I want to develop one for lyra2z and lyra2re. I was going to buy the direct cards from Xilinx, but their price has gone up to $4999 already and also would have to mod them myself. So if they are pre-modded and cheaper than $4999 then that is fantastic.
Absolutely, can put any unencrypted bitstreams you want on these. The key being set is really just enablement to give access to other bitstreams/miners that may have otherwise only been private, and a way to encourage more dev participation.
@OhGodAGirl - thanks for the (maybe a bit large) vote of confidence. Im really not that interesting, either.
I can vouch that @senseless isnt absconding with any funds here. He may be more apt to speak his mind, but he has put in a lot of work to help get everyone this deal.
