I will confirm that our group has been successful in creating an X11 FPGA miner. We are currently discussing selling these miners or keeping them private. If we decide to sell we will make a post in the mining thread.
Interesting, how's the efficiency currently, what's the hashes/watt?
If DRK changed its algo slightly, how big of an setback do you think it would be for you?
What would happen if we (or Evan, actually) changed the algo a bit every few months, until a reputable company agrees to build an ASIC for people to purchase?
A private efficient miner that's not available to everyone would be a perfect reason to change the algo imo.
