Ok so now we have official proof of these existing. How do we go about removing them?

We gonna close our eyes and FPGAs gonna disappear. Grin

No seriously: does anybody know if there are FPGA resistant algos?

Please don't take me wrong, I don't mean to "steal" people from Ravencoin, but I believe the devs could use the algorithm we developed for the XDNA project, HEX.

A few days ago I posted an open invitation to the team,

Dear Ravencoin developers, if you want to move from x16r and implement HEX algorithm which is only minable with GPUs, we would gladly help you with a smooth implementation.

HEX has strong support from Enemy Miner (Nvidia) and WildRig Multiminer (AMD) and is not just "not yet minable" from FPGAs, but the constant and unpredictable variation in its internal algorithms should decrease the effectiveness of any possible ASIC/FPGA in comparison to GPUs.
Plus... in this bear market I doubt any miner developer would spend much time to develop an FPGA miner for so few people and for only a marginal gain.

More info on HEX can be found in this article: https://steemit.com/crypto/@hitmancro/xdna-have-new-mining-algorithm-hex
And in XDNA's whitepaper, page 19: https://xdna.io/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/XDNA_Whitepaper_ENG.pdf

Even though our projects' goals are different, we'd be glad to collaborate on our common goal to share the wealth evenly between people!

Feel free to PM me if you want me to put you in contact with our developers, since I'm part of the marketing team.
