thanks, trying to catch up on where this ecosystem is at now?

The short and sweet of it is... A bunch of us have been doing this privately for the past year or so on leased machines. We were using private tools and private bitstreams. It became public knowledge with another developer making a long post about it. That allowed / forced us to go public about and we started trying to put something together that would allow everyone to benefit. We've managed to negotiate a good deal for access to chips from Xilinx and now we're trying to rapidly develop the ecosystem surrounding the cards so all of the software tools, support structure, etc is there. We've released a bunch of our private code that we've been using (urls below) and we're working on developing more professional software and tools (aka stable / well written) tools for community use.

ok, thanks for the heads up. All is above my head on this so far, but I will lurk and watch. I will dump 8,000mh of scrypt-pow miners (Bitmain L3+'s) currently losing NEGATIVE

-$300.00 PLUS after electric a month, so that boat has sailed, will be done in full and all off, by July 4th, 2018. So am, at the current panic prices of all crypto, don't pay to mine, so

out of any mining of any note at that date.

It was a good run from 2013 until then but just makes no sense anymore. Thus will be back into Hobby mode as a miner, (liked

that better anyway), so in the future will look into this and for now lurk on the sidelines.

thanks

I hear you on the L3's. I am running 8 of them on Solar so still "free" on electricity but returns are getting really bad - maybe $650/mo on Altpools. Check out the Mineority option. Pretty cheap to have them host and take care of rigging them. You have full access to pick your bitstream, etc. Will they have a positive ROI? Who knows. But seems like the most flexible option for next 12 - 24 months given the hash/power on these, along with the algo flexibility.
