Mining Bitcoin - FPGA {Post-20}




A Field Programmable Gate Array is a chip that comes as a blank slate. You can mount the chip and then program it to do whatever you want to get done. This is the reason why the “Field Programmable” part of the name exists. Now these are fabricated according to order as the number of logic gates on each chip can be customized. Also there are a lot of FPGA packages available for cheap, you can simply purchase them in bulk and start programming each chip to mine bitcoins. They are also quite cheap but since the design isn’t streamlined, it
isn’t as fast as the ASIC but it is way faster than a CPU and comparable to a GPU.
We can see that the Mini Rig by Butterfly Labs is as good as an ASIC miner even
though it is FPGA. And most of the FPGA are comparable to GPUs.

Bellow are some FPGAs Listed with their speeds.
