US companies seems to suck...bitmine is about to ship there goes all our profit making Sad

When I first started mining back in late 2009 with my Xilinx LX240's, I would have been lucky to trade 10K Bitcoins for a slice of pizza

I'm 100% sure you were not mining with Xilinx in late 2009

Sorry mate, anyone from my graduating class can implement SHA-2 algorithms on an FPGA; it is not exactly what I would call challenging. My background is in Electrical/Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, but my top hobbies include research in Number Theory and Cryptography. Grin

registered 21 September 2013 and claim to mine Bitcoin with FPGA late 2009, what members in this forum has became..... it just amaze me

Congratulations Sherlock Holmes, you've got it all figured out. Now, only if you can figure out Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity, then I will be impressed.

In 2009 there was no need to bother programming an FPGA. You could solo mine with a Nettop CPU.

I have been implementing crypto and other number theoretic algorithms as a hobby on Xilinx FPGA's since 2001. I already had SHA-2 and ECDSA (binary field) implementations on an FPGA long before Bitcoins ever existed.

No you didn't.

That is so funny I forgot to laugh, FPGA's and the SHA-2 algorithms existed long before Bitcoin

Yes, we all know that, but you weren't FPGA mining in 2009. Come on you're flogging a dead horse now. No one was even GPU mining then. So not only would you have had to program the FPGA you'd have to build your own private mining software akin to cgminer. Which didn't even exist then and didn't support FPGA's over two years after the date you claim. It would have been much more efficient, quicker and easier for you to have invented and implemented the first GPU miner. About a year before anyone else. Then invent FPGA mining software plus program the FPGA. Also, if you're correct, then that makes you the biggest bitcoin holder by far. Due to the amount of blocks you would have mined. To be FPGA mining in 2009 before anyone was even GPU mining plus everyone was solo mining on CPU's you'd have been over 99.9% of the network. You'd be holding more bitcoins then Satoshi himself and must have easily mined over 1Million bitcoins.

Stop trying to derail the thread with your fantasies.
