FPGA cryptocurrency mining

Hello. Is it possible to run this or something else in our limesdr?

Possibly with some modification and new client side code. But why bother with a measly 50 to 100 Mhash/second when the current generation of ASIC miners can do around 14,000,000 Mhash/second. You risk damaging your LimeSDR board through heat damage, wasting a lot of electricity, with negotiable return on investment.

EDIT: Actually probably not, there may not be enough multipliers and LE’s in the FPGA chips used in either of the LimeSDR boards.

P.S. I had to add a bunch of dots above because the formatting was being destroyed if I did not.

Possible but not worth it.

@mzs Even with ASIC chips is hard, this is really not worth it.
