Monero is irrelevant to FPGA's. I have never considered it a viable option and I am not doing any development on it or any of its variants. Notice that I didn't even list it in my original April 30 post. There are enough algorithms (without Monero or any cryptonight variant) to support 25000 FPGA's now, and at least one top-40 coin can make >$30/day with a VCU1525/BCU1525. However, unlike April 30th, I will no longer post information about any 'good' coins until the algorithms are actually ready for download. I don't expect this type of information to cause anyone to buy an FPGA, but I will say those people who took the risk will be VERY HAPPY THEY DID. By the time the super profitable algorithms are released, it will be too late for the naysayers to acquire hardware, as the hardware will all be owned by the early adopters.

The same goes for people who bought Bittware CVP-13's in the group order. A risky choice, but they will be very happy they took the risk.

If you consider that a BCU1525 can hash certain ASIC algorithms like Skein at almost 3 times the rate of a Baikal X/X10, and also do very well on things like Bytom and the equihash variants, there are tons of future possibilities.

Well the April assessment was for 25000 FPGAs with 12000 odd on Monero. Since then coins are down multiple times, and if you take Monero also out, the figure if 25000 still being supported is hard to believe. Though if you are adding Equihash, or BTG with its Equihash variant...

So maybe 50+ KH/s on Equihash/variant?

On the Zetheron website, the breakdown of which algorithms are viable combined with how many FPGA's they can support is intentionally deceptive to throw other companies and developers off the trail. While some parts of the table were accurate, I left out several of the biggest and most profitable coins and some of the 'supported # of FPGA' numbers were lowballed to make them look unattractive to other developers. In addition, many up and coming coins that didn't even exist in April have algorithms that are FPGA viable so the total pool of coins that can be mined by FPGA's is increasing, rather than decreasing.
