Are You Doing Blockchain Development? Tell Us About It

rscasny
rscasny over 6 years ago

I have been to three developer conferences/forums over the past year, and I'd say the blockchain sessions for all of them were standing room only. Given the amount of questions posed by the attendees it's a hot topic. I'd say blockchain is still a work in progress for as far as a broad scale adoption.image

 

I haven't seen that many articles yet on blockchain in the element14 community, although some of my Ultra96-V2  Avnet Ultra96 Dev Board applicants mentioned blockchain development in their applications. I am quite intrigued by the promise blockchain has for the security of IoT solutions or general business application development .I've read some interesting articles on FPGA mining (versus ASIC). Specifically, FPGA efficiency and lower power consumption.

 

So, have you been playing around with blockchain?

 

What are you developing (e.g., open ledger, mining, etc.) Are you doing it on an ASIC, GPU, FPGA? Have you used a zedboard for your experimentation?

 

Drop a comment here and tell the community about your developments.

    Hey rscasny great post and great questions. As a miner I certainly try to find new and better ways about increasing my profits. That's just a given so tinkering with all manners of making extra coin is…

    I am curious but don’t understand the use case at all. Why use blockchain if if it is not secure? Privacy? This quote comes from down near the bottom of the link: How secure is the board? Elk doesn't have…

    i'm working on alt coin miner

    it took me a while to learn what need to be done and to get the required boards i need

    i have an Ultra96 my self but its not about the board

    the Ultra96 contain a faster AND larger FPGA which allow you to do much more

    before having it i used to play with OLD spartan 3E500 board which is what i have started with

    its very limited but get me in the way

    anyway after all its not just the Ultra96 board which support  blockchain

    you can do it with almost any other FPGA board if you know what your are doing

    but for speed and FPGA logic space Ultra96 is very good choice image an expensive one as well
