I am just amazed that people in sqrl-acorn Discord are wasting their time constantly troubleshooting their Acorn configurations without (almost) any gains, as far as crypto mining is concerned. I know that GPU mining is mostly unprofitable now but why add to it with the loss of time?

mainly im learning the hardwares limits. fpga is unlike other computer hardware in a lot of ways.

basically messing around now with things like fan direction and flow, adding thermal pads and sinks, finding voltage and temp limits etc. lota mix and match with my gear, 2 systems to test in with various combinations of gpus, nests, and acorns.

naturally, the real gpu assist stuff would sure be nice but in the meantime im not going to just watch them in a box, im going to play with them. once the real miner drops i will be in good shape as far as my understandings of the hardware and its limits.

Have you seen that GPUHoarder is already mentioning (or testing ground) that there might not really be any viable GPU boost and the effort is going to be focused on Acorn solo mining (for some obscure coins)?

@Bazzaar if I had every confidence that we had community support and I wasnt going to be immediately pressed to take returns by buyers who arent making the ROI they need, I would absolutely love for the next GPU Assist algos, further optimization, and tuning to be my focus. I love this stuff."
