Today I was looking for some cheap FPGA miners, and found the following on aliexpress:

FPGA miner for $16 or $24? Is this for real? These offers look pretty scammy, they are copy-and-paste, pictures are the same everywhere, sellers without feedback. Did anyone buy these?

They have no feedback so i doubt it is legit. Even if it was with an antminer at 1.6 ghz you would need 4 of these to match it and i bet they probably pull a minimu of 10 watts each. Plue 4 x $16 = $64 so an antminer is cheaper, uses less power and takes up less room.

Now you could always try the scrypt code floating around on those but given it does 60khs on a 4 lx150 board you would not get much.
