    then again there's people like me working on a FPGA design with my father for off the shelf FPGA's and for it to be open source....   My father has worked with FPGA's before, so I need to give him flowcharts of different algroythms for us to start development.  

    I plan one FPGA module per 'simple' algo, or some that work with others, if it is able. Others configured with another asic for parallel operation and enhanced speed.... such as rolling-algo type algos, the unit would need multiple FPGA's that all work in unison.

    I was thinking modular devices that would be chained on a controller that initializes each asic when powered on or reconfigured via a usb or network interface.    This way you could build a FPGA miner for any algo by just adding the ones necessary and configuring them properly...  Possibly Pi controlled because it has enough serial and I/O, as well as all the extra bits like Ethernet capability, memory, etc.  I know memory in the controller isn't as fast as the ASIC having its own RAM, but... it may be effective for power consumption nonetheless.

    I know its far fetched;  but its a real goal.  When I have something on paper, and some tests on dev-boards done...   Ill touch more on it.


    But this was my intention.... for creating a hardware device...   to help counter what the monsters are doing.
