I'm looking at getting some FPGA's based on information from this BitcoinTalk thread and other sources, and I was wondering if anyone on here was also considering it?
Or, perhaps already had a setup working, and might be prepared to share their bitstreams
From the discussion:
8 x Xilinx VCU1525 rig. Each VCU1525 card has one Xilinx VU9P Virtex Ultrascale+ FPGA.
Each VCU1525 card costs $4000, or $32K for the whole rig. At $160-$456 per day, ROI is 70-200 days depending on the algorithm.
Hash rate for the whole rig combined is:
Keccak (Smartcash, Maxcoin): 136GH/s (17GH/s per card x eight) ($160/day at Apr-30 prices)
Tribus (Denarius, Virtus): 16.8GH/s (2.1GH/s per card x eight) ($304/day at Apr-30 prices)
Phi1612 (Luxcoin, Folm): 5.2GH/s (650MH/s per card x eight) ($456/day at Apr-30 prices)
Skunhash (Various coins): 10.4GH/s (1.3GH/s per card x eight) ($261/day at Apr-30 prices)
Those yield around US$20-$57 per card per day ($160-$456 per day for the rig).
I'm definitely not getting out of GPU mining, but I do like diversifying
