That looks like about a 250 day ROI at current prices, barring future improvements to hashrate and additional algorithms being added. Of course difficulty will rise once these are on the market. Definitely plenty of things to consider right now.

yeah if i make roi in a year i would be happy. i know its a $3.6k USD risk. if i lose on it oh well, i will mutter a few choice curse words and carry on.

i bought it obviously hoping it can make bank but also as something to learn on, fpgas may be a big part of future mining. or not. but either way it should be a fun toy to learn with.

good luck with it.

I think these are beyond our technical capabilities at this point. I'm more hopeful for the Acorn mini fpga GPU accelerator thingies (whatever the right name is). They sound like they're more user friendly for someone with 0.5% experience with Linux, let alone actual software development.
