Hunter's comment
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
See video and detailed specs on Kickstarter webpage

This is a remarkable product of engineering to be hunted by yours @davemarkeddy! This is great for future developments in cryptocurrency mining especially with the use of device which greatly depends on programming. Keep up the good hunt @davemarkeddy!

I love everything that has to do with open source, because it is great to contribute to the work of others, and this product is undoubtedly one of the best I've seen since it allows programming on these plates any type of tool that comes to mind bringing us a world of possibilities.
Great hunt.

This will be a good one for open source programmers, I don't really know much about programming though,,, .

so if i'm getting this right this kinda does away with like fixed ASIC boards right that can only mine like certain cryptocurrency? with this we could program at a hardware level how we want our boards to perform right? or am i missing something.

Nope that is exactly right. The limit will be interms of the amount of logic cells the particular board has. I doubt this could build a bitcoin asic, but if you had enough cells then yes
