Alchitry

This is a hunt that needs to be redone, I believe that this device needs to remain visible on the steemhunt page. It is one of the best innovations I've seen, making Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) development open source!

FPGA vs Microcontroller explained in video below:

The Alchitry has me thinking of programmable Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) (doesn't exist). I'm just thinking designing an ASIC for Bitcoin mining then after change my mind, and with the same device design an ASIC to mine PascalCoin which has a different mining algorithm. This is just an example, and of course the device will be limited by the amount of logic cells available.

Available Devices(see more details on site):

• Alchitry Ag (33,280 logic cells)
• Alchitry Cu (7680 logic cells)
• and other extensions
