Ah yes, the good old bad old days. I remember the BFL scams, and heard about the paycoin scam. Missed the alpha tech scam, and who can forget the numerous cloud mining scams.
I guess that today the pickings are so easy that you don't have to have any pride in the scam. I guess that's what blockchain everywhere and BTC popping to US $20k/coin will get you. Oh, and FOMO. Can't forget FOMO.
FPGAs are not new, in fact in 2012/2013 FPGAs were the new hot thing that was going to kill GPU mining.
Turns out that ASICs killed FPGA mining, and the GPUs soldiered on.
