Re: DIY FPGA Mining rig for any algorithm with fast ROI

I, for one am glad I got in b4 the 25% Trump tariff on semi-conductors...

Though perhaps Xilinx builds in Taiwan?

The tariff is paid when the product moves from China to the US (imported), not when the product is purchased.

Point being? You think xilinx uses all made in USA components? I don't even know if they assemble domestically.

That is my point. We could be screwed with the Xilinx delay. If they are assembled in China, and arrive after the tarrifs are in place.... someone will have to pay the 25% tarrifs. And I can't imagine that would be Xilinx.

ah, gotcha....I guess I was under the assumption that the boards' final assembly was done state's side and were waiting for a few smd's. Which in retrospect sounds dumb/inefficient.
