Our next generation of product will be using either a more powerful Altera FPGA or a Xilinx FPGA.
Been working closely with Arrow and Avnet. Building FPGA miners are difficulty due to the expensive FPGA chip pricing!
Open for suggestions and  discussions.

It's alive!  The board is mining the first time!!!

All 4 FPGAs are up. It takes 4 FPGAs to achieve one 9p Xilinx FPGA.
I assume miners do not care how many FPGAs are on board as long as the size/cost is lower, and the power consumption is lower.  

Keccak algorithm is currently un-optimized
Running air cooled
Mining 0xBTC at 8.6Gh/s to 9GH/s
Current draw: approx. 80Watt.

Yes, it is.
The FPGA is an Intel® Arria® 10
Part number is: 10AX066K4F4013SG

BTCAnother newly developed FPGA Miner is here!

I got a new FPGA miner.

It's based on four Altera FPGA. (Arria 10 10AX066K4F4013SG)

Hardware is fully tested and functional.

I have yet tested it with bitstream.

Here is the picture:  https://imgur.com/a/qotLRcU

I am hoping the community can show me how to write bitstream and mining software for it.

After it is fully tested, I am planning to manufacture and sell it within North America only for now thru a website.

Depending on the response, I will fabricate around 20 to 100 pieces in total for the first batch.

Price: I have not fully done calculating the BOM and PCB cost yet. I think it might be between $2000 to $3500 (to be confirmed).  

Hasing rate and power draw: I expect it will be lesser power consumption compare to the VCU1525 and has about the same hashrate ( to be tested)
 

I am hoping I can help out a bit in the mining community by producing a more accessible hardware to our community.  

what next...
My next step is hoping I can create an FPGA miner based on Xilinx FPGA and the retail price target of $300 to $1000 (feasible?)

FINALLY WE ARE HERE!

I am crypto miner by night and an electronics hardware designer by trade for the past 10 years. I have been working delicately with a team and we are going to come up with a  custom design of FPGA miner running at approx. 8GH/s mining 0xBitcoin consuming less than 60Watt from simulation.  AT AN EXTREME ATTRACTIVE COST!

The design is based on 4x Altera FPGA. The first proto has been completed and currently respinning to a final proto board in 10 days.

I got some picture of my board the cooling system is a copper heat conduction tube with Aluminium radiator and the fan case is 3D printed. The cooling circuit is PWM controlled.

This year, we are able to manufacture totally 1600 FPGA cards as such, 2 weeks ago 600 of them have been pre-ordered by a mining facility, so now we have 1000 cards to be available and are going to put into production in mid September 2018 and YOU will be able to receive them by the end of October 2018.

The price of each card is $3200 USD!
