Did you even read what I said, I don`t believe in open source for FPGA expecialy with xx big farms that will pay any developer out there, and we know there are just few ppl that will work on fpga, my personal opinion that just crumbs will be let out, profitable bitsream will be bought and only released when some over the developer head say he can.......
I also would like to be wrong and I hope... time will tell
Do you have anything to substantiate that claim?
I can show you a chat room with 30 fpga devs in it right now feverishly working away to provide bitstreams for the community. What can you show me?
https://discord.gg/M6CyRhI WILL get these FPGA to GPU pricing; or Xilinx (and Intel) is going to need to get a restraining order against me. I don't know how to give up, ask paypal.
I'm just asking how are fpga any different than asic they are expensive which excludes people from poorer countries getting them plus how is it going to save on power at first maybe but as the hashrate goes up so does difficulty so you need to add more miners also how are you going to get a company selling a 3000-4000 dollar piece of hardware to 700-800 and that's a high priced gpu.
Listen I'm not trying to bust balls here I'm all for power reduction it's the cost and we all know there's going to be greedy devs hiding in 10 or 15% Dev fees it was going on with zec, you look at things different because you have access to fpgas at a cost lower than most and know what your doing with them
