so the table doesn t have to be
(so the table doesn't have to be calculated on the fly as the @Wolf9466 is doing on his FPGA)

I can't talk in here, but no I don't.
I generate it like a GPU does - I gen the whole table every block, stuff it in memory, and then mine
I remember, that you somewhere mentioned that you skipped precalculation of such table and doing it on the fly
but it was months ago
No, I said that doing that was infeasible
Someone asked me about ASIC attack vectors
and I pointed out that while you CAN do it, it'll be awful due to the amount of computations required to generate the small piece of the dataset needed for the PoW.
🤔 Hmm, then sorry, I don't know why I was remembering it that way, that you've told that in your FPGA setup it was feasible to do on-the-fly instead of constructing of table. But my wrong 🙂
is okay
What's new about your FPGA version of miner?
Well, I've gotten it FAR more stable
I remember that I was also looking for a such board with highspeed memory and was not able to find ones, seems like the company producing them (boards not the chips) goes bankrupt
it was having issues on the E300 due to the TCP connection being flaky
also did some HBM2 timing tuning
