100Mhash/s on the test board at this point, I’ve made a few improvements to the board to get it reach this point. Namely a small heatsink+fan combo and some rubber feet so it doesn’t short on anything on my table. Below are a couple of pictures.
If you (the reader) hasn’t figured out what this is for yet, it’s a bitcoin mining board based on a Spartan-6 LX150 FPGA, at current code, it does 100Mhash/s max, this is estimated to hit 150-200Mhash with improved coding and routing techniques. Me and 2 other guys working together on this project, are aiming to bring this low power, high performance board out as soon as possible, more still to come.
Edit: Alright here's where to buy one, I've only a couple left at the moment.

You should open source this project. It's in the spirit of bitcoin.
ReplyDeleteThe software is open source, spend a few hours of work routing a board and you'd come up to pretty much the same result.
ReplyDeleteWorking on a better board right now, still deciding if it'll be open sourced.
Would love to expand this design, would you care to share the eagle files (for strictly non-commercial use) in exchange for perhaps a small pile of PCBs when I make some?
ReplyDeleteI'm still torn between sharing this design and letting people rip this design off. I'll think about it somemore.
ReplyDeletePut the PCB design on github. Opensource the project. It is the real spirit of bitcoin.

ReplyDeletei do think this is amazing and for one would love to help work on them if they were Opensource. i like helping out with any thing that has to do with bitcoins
