Re: Acorn M.2 FPGA based GPU Accelerator

Do You think that we are going to see the miner done ?

When I was given the chance to be refunded last month I took the refund.

I was afraid of no software support.

Sad so sad.

I'm not too worries honestly, I had some emails back and forth trying to get a review unit. I talked to one of the devs and he seemed to be ontop of his shit, they are super busy getting these orders out which I just went ahead and bought. (215+) fpga are definitely the future and I'd SQRL can't get a software solution out someone else will and charge for it since the hardware is out.

They dont get off that easy. This was sold as an all in one solution. Yes software has to be included. I know as long as you get your money screw the ethics of it all right? Keep allowing shady business practices and all this will ever be is a shady financial scheme. Which is still up in the air with me. I have some issue with the design of pow that cant be addressed and never will. There will always be a war over who has control over the blockchain. Yayyy man finding another way to help his undoing. When will one learn from past mistakes!

I'm not saying they shouldn't release a software solution like promised what I am saying is the nature of FPGA especially in the mining world will be if there is a group of users with the exact same hardware and pinout it wouldn't make sense to not build software for it.

If enough acorns are sold someone will make software with a fee for sure.

That's why I'm not too worried about this being hardware without a use. The hardware is flowing (I ordered Sunday and it arrives tomorrow) I can tell you I'm around order 4200 so there are plenty of these going out in the wild. Worst case scenario is SQRL flops and we have to get our fpga from somewhere else but I'm not expecting SQRL to flop.

worst case is they work great and market floods with them.

Thus killing off most profits of most gpus.

You should know this was going to happen regardless of SQRL, FPGA has been booming the last few months, expect any algorithm that is fpga minable to be fpga only. GPUs are going to crowd GPU only algorithms and that is just how it is or accelerate with fpga.
