Do you think Tawsix has the technical competency to operate a FPGA cluster ?

I guess...running this is not rocket science..
FPGA board, usb cable and mining software, 300 euro you get 200 Mhash/s and I believe ZTEX is making a quad board (800+ Mhash/s) for less then 1000 euro.

The X6500 prototype is fully mining now at 250 MH/s! We ran into some hiccups getting the software working, and had to wait a week for the board to fly from Singapore to California so that I could test out code changes much more quickly. It arrived last night and I got it fully working tonight!

I'll post some better photos not taken with a cell phone and some screen shots tomorrow.

It's mining now (earning money for FPGA.contract shareholders Wink

). It will run overnight and I'll spend the day tomorrow running a lot of different tests and cleaning up the software. First thing is to measure the actual power usage.

Edit: Looks like it's using exactly 17 W. Not too shabby at 14.7 MH/J!

Do you think there is sufficient confidence in Tawsix among the current investors in SIN and the wider Bitcoin investment community ?

No, but I try not to think like everybody else because I would like to get some sort of solution that is comfortable for us -investors- and Tawsix.
