Whitefire say:
"Soon coin developers will realize that FPGA's actually help their coin become ASIC resistant and everyone will be on board
The deep irony right now is that GPU mining is so unprofitable for home-miners that the only really profitable GPU mining is GPU farms
Hence to 'support' GPU's = supporting centralized GPU farms
FPGA mining on the other hand is profitable in any country no matter how high the electrical cost
So supporting FPGA mining is supporting decentralization since at-home miners can still make a profit
Now if more people could just spread that message the conversion would happen very fast"

from the discord 

there is plan to:
1. tag each user bitstream with serial
2. distribute only interly
3. make nicehash for FPGA to dump directly to BTC
4. already done remove info about algo/coin being mined??? (next step make miners mine at private FPGA nicehash not even knowing what they mine and for what fee)
5. covert mining

I think Jihan is jealuse   

Ok, Thank you for clarification.  Can you also report  Does BS have any integrated devfee and what profit it generates without devfee?

So interesting thing say that algorithm and coin are private. Nobody can verify it. Some illiterate customers bought a boards for very high price and make you 200% profit. But board can do any amount of money per day and anybody can't confirm it.

Can anyone of your trusted (not newly registered) customers post information here?

Why would you ask that in here? Go to the discord channel

Also remember that a VCU is full of stuff which are completely useless for mining because it's not it's primary role.

I dont think this is a random increase.
I'm quite sure that the card do exist

Read 36 pages is to spend a lot of time, answer right here please.

No, I opened up once I realized that companies were going to try charging $6000 and $7000 for these fpga. Go through my post history. If you think I'm going to make any appreciable amount of money from this, you're wrong. What little we do make will be dumped back into development to provide the community the ability to make, compile and distribute their own bitstreams securely.

Edit: Our money is going to come from the devfee in the bitstreams we'll release. And, no one has to use ours. Whitefire's bitstreams will work on the boards too.

I hope they come to realize that the FPGA can provide them with asic resistance by increasing the NRE requirements for ASIC production. With the greater network hashrates higher tech levels of asic will not be nearly as profitable, if at all. It'll push the cost for a secret ASIC to 32, 28, 20nm or lower tech levels. All secret high level asics would be useless (and possibly may operate at a loss on networks secured by fpga). The fpga makes investment risk is higher, probability of mask failure higher, time to market longer, and greater probability returns will be lower than expected for the secret asic.

In addition, the rapid reconfiguration of the FPGA via coding allows the FPGA to follow forks if it's ever necessary (to avoid a 16nm asic for instance). In addition, we're more than happy to work with coin devs to create new algos that would be FPGA optimized making use of the unique features of the FPGA to full potential. We do have academics on staff who have already created algos (some of which are used today globally in banking, etc). The failure of most coin devs is that they don't understand hardware. They just keep adding layers of complexity and hoping for the best. We can provide that hardware expertise which they lack.

We could have continued operating in secret. But we've opened up, we've been very open with how many boards are shipping, when, etc. Our goal is to reduce costs to make FPGA even more desirable for the crypto markets. I have been working Xilinx very hard to get pricing down to GPU levels. To do this, it requires moving FPGA in GPU levels.

Wrong. Bitmain wouldn't have became a billion dollar company if they can't see the future of mining. They are always one step ahead like a good businessman. They will soon release their own FPGA miners and they have already partnered with Xilinix.

I just got this from Jason today:

"We discussed pricing and I was able to get Xilinx to agree to a tiered pricing model.  Initial orders up to 5 units get the promotional price of $3995.00USD each.  Any orders beyond that will be priced at $4995.00USD (special price for Zetheron customers)."

Try calling him directly.  He is a great guy, who is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you have.

Update:

The first batch of the board will be a total of 1500 units at a cost of $3995 per unit. We will be shipping to the USA and CA for the first batch. We will likely support EU & Worldwide (Limited) starting with our second batch of devices. Estimated shipping date will be August 2018. It's possible we will ship some units prior to this date but it's unlikely we will be able to get our complete chip order before the end of August 2018.

I have been speaking with community developers and there is interest in having a centralized platform / software they can release their bitstreams through. We have plans to release our own bitstreams (Lyra2z, Keccak, Myriad-Groestl, NIST5). Others in the community have an expressed an interest to release firmwares for Cryptonight, Keccak, and some of the more advanced algos (X16R, Timetravel-10, etc).

I noticed several times today, in the hash rate col especially but mining doesn't seem to be interrupted.

The rigs are mining RVN so today's cases are not Claymore miners.

It usually comes back to normal after awhile (ie. 10-15 seconds)

Thanks I will try that. What OC settings are default in SM for Saphirre RX580, 8 Gb?

So if I get you right this should be my command in SM in Brian miner:
-k x16r -o stratum+tcp://cryptopool.party:3636 -u RL9gZ42JHaGgE5cGvA5c3VoR3doRsUWjKU -p x -I 21 --thread-concurrency 1024 --gpu-threads 2

I have 5 GPUs.
