Hardware:
We intend to provide the crypto community with a low cost, low power and high performance alternative to GPU mining. We are looking to produce a board based on either the Xilinx Ultrascale+ or Intel Stratix 10 lines. Performance to power ratios for cryptocores we have developed have ranged from anywhere in the low 3x multiplier to as high as 100x GPU performance to power efficiency. We are cautiously optimistic that we will be able to deliver these devices at a cost / performance ratio greater than a GPU.

Software:
We will provide end users (customers) with software and bitstreams to allow them to operate their device in a 'plug and play' fashion similar to that of GPU mining. The bitstreams provided may or may not include a fee as it is up to the developer to set the fee. As time comes closer to launching orders / sales we will list some performance numbers that we have achieved for bitstreams that we intend to allow usage of with the device. I expect that the best performant cores and designs will come out of community designs from community RTL developers.

Allmine Crypto Shell:
Our FPGA devices will have our encryption keys burned into them and as a result we will be able to distribute secure encrypted bitstreams and software. The goal is to provide a development environment similar to that of the "aws-fpga" / Amazon F1 service. Community RTL developers would be able to access the software and compile time scripts / libraries necessary to securely compile their code into our shell environment. We will be able to distribute these community driven crypto cores and collect a developer set fee on behalf of the developer.

05/29/18 - We are going to delay pre-sales at this time. We have calls scheduled with both Intel and Xilinx for this week. News to follow.
06/01/18 - Store opened at https://fpga.land/ for user registration. We are still not taking orders at this time but you can register and receive updates when hashrates, pricing and order information becomes available.
06/04/18 - Any developers in the community wishing to develop bitstreams please send me a private message. If you can't make a crypto core in RTL, this doesn't apply to you.
06/04/18 - We will NOT be able to accept credit cards for batch 1. Credit card processors are unwilling to allow us to process credit cards to sell you FPGA that any other site who doesn't market specifically to the crypto community would be able to sell and accept credit cards for. If we sold them as "FPGA Accelerators", no one would care. I should add, this is one of the reasons crypto was created in the first place.
06/05/18 - Pricing information has been released on our website https://fpga.land/


Hashrates:
Lyra2z (8,8,8) - 20.48Mh/s 150W ~ Still under development




Notes: Only posting hashrate numbers we're 100% sure about. Cores still under development are expected to increase in hashrate.
