mineority.io/product/fpga  I know the acorn is a different product.  The point is that the two are VERY connected.  

And... that is a really good thing.  However, there still could be a far better job of demonstrating the products being developed.

just watched a long video from a week ago with good inputs about mineority and acorn... mostly on mineority which I don't see fully illustrated here... but maybe that's on the senseless thread.  That's a whole other concern but here are my notes:  https://youtu.be/PHlKmrqAufc

2 or 3 open source crypto mining bitstreams are available

bit stream: customized arrangement of virtual componentry to perform in a certain way

payment methods: mineority "all sorts of shit/alt coins" this is pretty awesome... fiat has to go through fpga.land which is gpuhoarder (okay... so this is good and bad... good that there is an option... bad that it is not directly functional through both sales platforms.)

Acorn:  each device gives a boost to up to 4 GPUs.  25-30 Mh/s spread across 4 GPUs.  3 versions.. (i think this is covered somewhere in this thread)  ethlargement pill would have a boost and improve power efficicency.  

ethlargment pill: can improve any "memory-downed" algo

200,000 P106 will be coming online for hosting purchase at mineority

Mineority goal is to help small miners.  I imgaine that is similar to Acorn

Walton coin miner... more may come relating to this.

Really good insight on DIY porting.  1525 shell... c-logic into fpga and make bitstream

couldn't answer questions about actual performance stats... rule of thumb about 10x various algo (ethereum excluded).  Public results could be posted any day.  

Users will be able to choose which algo through some interface if hosted.  if delivered to user, users will have pre-loaded senseless/gpuhoarder bitstreams to be chosen through senseless/gpuhoarder software.

It's an hour and 40 minute video and I had to take a break.  will update more later.

bad ass news about a pool coming in about 3 months...  It would automate optimization settings once connected to the pool.  0% fees on mineority pools

answered q's about setup and open/closed configs, maintenance costs included in hosting price.  

discussion about algos... she likes pigeon coin.  something like 30-ish algos exist for mining.  discussion on ASIC production details. 

can send asic to mineority and they will boost performance... 14th/s easily to 17 and possibly 21 th/s  (I think that was on S9)

more...
