Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] FPGA dev board recommendationa

Jeff:


I was intrigued with the rise of Bitcoin and Namecoin. Politics and backroom
snickering aside, I am totally unaccustomed to NOT being able to solve a
problem (well at least) using a CPU. One can't compete in the realm of this
problem domain without the power of a GPU, FPGA or ASIC. OpenCL is nice, but
I would love to learn about how FPGA's work. So, the project is to make a
custom FPGA board tailored to solving these sorts of hashes without making
the feds think I have a grow house in my basement.
