Hi! sorry for the long wait, we have finalized the terms with Crowdsupply and plan to launch the campaign in the coming Monday/Tuesday!
The campaign page will be updated with loads of useful information once the campaign starts officially, please sign up for updates if you haven't already. I also attached a preview of the mining performance table, all the algorithms will be provided free of charge and 0 dev fee. at the end of the campaign we will open source the algorithm design.

I am pretty excited for this but unfortunately compute based fpga are in a slump of price, not enough algorithms are showing up and people are selling their VCU/BCU cards for quite a cheap cheap price. This is going to be great for devs with the vivado license but for actual miners unless we see a plethora of Bitstreams I am afraid others will just buy used VCU cards.

thanks,
we are continuously working on the algorithms development, and at the end of the campaign we will open source all algorithm designs. we hope to get involved more developers into the project, and make more algos available in the future.
besides that, the setup is much easier and user friendly than the VCU cards.
