      Hello guys!
      I had the pleasure to meet members of the Feathercoin community today at the Oxford Blue and following the productive discussions I decided to post something about the current Scrypt FPGA/ASIC miner developers. Most of these project have been discussed across the Litecoin and Bitcoin forum, but I suspect that at some point they will be also relevant for the Feathercoin community (unless you change the algorithm, making the FTC “resistant” to ASIC).

      This is the link to the full list of LTC (Scrypt) FPGA/ASIC miner developers:
      [url=https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=6506.0]https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=6506.0[/url]

      **Please find below the list of Scrypt FPGA/ASIC miners that have been shown to mine Feathercoin! **

      (at present lizhi has shown that gridseed chips can mine FTC! Therefore I have included all the gridseed-based projects to the list, but lizhi has used the developer boards directly from gridseed and not the other producers: [url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,6202.0.html]http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,6202.0.html[/url]. lizhi correct me if I am wrong!).
      Note: Please check out for yourself if the developers are trustworthy. I only listed them.

        Thanks for the link. Been meaning to start looking into ASIC’s as the GPU mining days are coming to an end. However I sincerely hope that scrypt currencies change the algorithm as it just won’t be the same without GPU’s :'(

        +1 Rep for the great post

          Changing algo’s for ftc has been discussed before on a few occasions. The conclusion was that asics for scrypt are a good thing.

          To put it in a nut shell, the price will be driven up and you will still make essentially the same profit with gpu’s. Even though you will be mining less, what you mine will be worth more.

          Not to mention, competition will bring the price of asics down over time and it will be more financially accessible to the average person.

          Instead of copying the full list again I have put the link to my thread.
          [/quote]

          I would like to see you edit you post above to include this list if your ok with that.

          I think it would make a nice resource here on the forum.

          Also +1 to you for making it to the Oxford!

            No prob! I’ll be happy to edit and update the thread regularly. The only thing I would suggest is that I include only the products that have been shown to be able to mine FTC. This means that I will start the list with gridseed product and in the context of this forum this means the post started by “lizhi”. I think it would confusing if I upload the listwith all the scrypt FPGA/ASIC producer whithout any evidence that they can mine FTC. tnx

              I personally think it is early days for FTC and asic mining (given the difficult so low), but I believe that it is important to know what is out there!

                Thanks for starting this thread. Im also thinking in scrypt ASICs but so far it all seems a bit uncertain regarding reliability and performance.

                Has anyone here actually bought a scrypt ASIC which is working on FTC? If so, how much did it cost and what’s the hashrate?

                  Good job with the post!

                  If you would like to take it upon yourself to be the official scrypt asic/fpga documenter, I think that would be awesome =^-^=

                    As of right now scrypt ASIC’s are in development. Their performance and hash rate hasn’t been confirmed. However if you look at BFL and how popular their Bitcoin miners are and how they were on backorder for so long you can tell that if you are going to pre-order one now would be the time.

                      I would be very happy to do it! this is also what I have been doing on the LTC forum.
                      tnx!

                        I’d love to see power compulsion added to the list for each ASIC. At this point that is the only advantage they have over gpu’s. Price per KH/s is no better, and they are worthless once they are outdated (unlike gpu’s which retain value for gaming).

                            I’m not sure if it was purposely omitted or by accident, but Alpha Technologies is introducing a script ASIC. Not due still til June or so. But since its still not close to market yet, maybe thats why you didn’t include it.

                              The complete list of Scrypt FPGA/ASIC developers is here:

                              https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=6506.0

                              These are products developed for the LTC community, but they are most likely also suitable for FTC mining! On this forum I decided to include only products that have been proven to mine FTC. Hence the gridseed-based products. If alphaTechnology states (of even better shows) that their units can mine also FTC I will be happy to add them to the list. At present their products are not ready, so it would be pure speculation… Thank you

                                    The other interesting products which may be soon tested for FTC mining are Scryptor8x from ltcgear.com
                                    I am mentioning ltcgear units (FPGA) because people have received his units and confirmed they works fine with LTC. No other producer has shipped anything so far…

                                    Official website: [url=http://ltcgear.com/]http://ltcgear.com/[/url]
                                    Litecoin forum: https://litecointalk.org/index.php/topic,6401.0.html

                                    Of note: beekepeer (the person behind ltcgear) has previously proposed a feathercoin farm on this thread, so his units are probably able to mine also FTC, but I don’t have any evidence yet!

                                        Well spotted! I didn’t know about it and I will add them to the list as potential distributors of gridseed products. It remains unclear who are official distributors and who are resellers… time (and price) will tell!

                                          Dear Feathercoin community,
                                          I have tried to mine FTC with ltcgear.com products (scriptor8x light) and they work just fine!

                                          These is my setup:

                                          1. Two Scriptor8x boards ([b]light version[/b], much slower than scripto8x full - currently available)
                                          2. Raspberry PI model B running with Scripta (Litecoin mining distro for Raspberry PI: [url=https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=9908.0]https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=9908.0[/url])
                                          3. D-Link 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub (DUB-H7)
                                          4. Power supply (Check this link to run it without mother board: [url=http://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/atx_psu_startup/]http://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/atx_psu_startup/[/url]
                                          5. 50mm PCB Spacer Hex Stand-Off Pillar
