Crypto Mining on FPGA Board!

I was wondering if I could somehow do some crypto mining on my Arty S7-50 board. I know that it might not be much profitable. ASICs are better for this job. But I want to try it just for education purposes.

What does the members think? Will it be profitable i.e. will it be able to mine enough amount of crypto to cover the electricity cost? Where do I start from?

I haven't looked deeply into it, but as far as I know, it isn't easy to implement. There is also the fact that you need to connect it to the internet, which could be done through an ethernet module or…

If the design fits, it will not be profitable

That's impossible to answer because it depends on how clever you are. 'Hard problems' aren't impossible problems, they just take a long time to accomplish using the algorithms that everyone knows about…

if you are interested in learning about cryptocurrency mining and FPGA development, it could be a worthwhile project for educational purposes. The power consumption of the FPGA is relatively high compared to its hashing power, which would result in significant electricity costs.

I think doing the same with Raspberry Pi is better. You can get an idea about it from here: www.theengineeringprojects.com/.../how-to-mine-cryptocurrency-with-raspberry-pi-4.html
