BTCMiner is an Open Source Bitcoin Miner for [[http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-1/usb-fpga-1.15.e.html|ZTEX USB-FPGA-Modules 1.15b and 1.15d]] and [[http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-1/usb-fpga-1.15x.e.html|USB-FPGA-Modules 1.15x]]. The latter variant is optimized for cryptographic computations such as Bitcoin Mining and allows to build up FPGA clusters using standard components (USB cables and USB hubs). | BTCMiner is an Open Source Bitcoin Miner for [[http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-1/usb-fpga-1.15.e.html|ZTEX USB-FPGA-Modules 1.15b and 1.15d]] and [[http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-1/usb-fpga-1.15x.e.html|USB-FPGA-Modules 1.15x]].

- | The Software typically achieves hash rates of 90MH/s on Spartan 6 LX75 FPGA's and 190MH/s on Spartan6 LX150 FPGA's. The frequency is scaled dynamically using error measurement, i.e. the software scales the frequency such that a maximum rate of valid hashes is generated. | + | The Software typically achieves hash rates of 90MH/s on Spartan 6 LX75 FPGA's and 200MH/s on Spartan6 LX150 FPGA's.

BTCMiner also have a cluster mode with hot-plugging support which allows to to run large FPGA clusters from a single software instance. | BTCMiner also have a cluster mode with hot-plugging support which allows to to run large FPGA clusters from a single software instance. | ||
