What hashrates do you guys have?

@Wolf oh, I somehow imagined something completely else at first. So how does that thing look like is there any picture I could see. At this point im pretty sure that i personally can't make something like that but it sounds interesting and wort learning about anyways. And what do you use to design the circuts adn what do they consist of (in easy words if you dont wana tell to much :D )
As far as I know, there are two main HDLs (hardware design languages) which are VHDL and Verilog. I use Verilog, myself. If you like, I can show you how addition is done on binary numbers by paw (yes, there is a '+' operator that will let the synthesizer do it for you, but it's always good to understand the basics and how things really happen.)
-
@Wolf hmm is this something like bitwise operators which i learned about when trying out some python. And What is the reason that you bring up addition now (or am i just too stupid to understand that now ? ) im a little confused. :D

Since all you have in hardware is gates, yes, that's how it happens - bitwise operators. I bring up addition for two reasons - doing it with only bitwise ops is harder than one may think, and two, Blake2B (Sia's PoW) relies pretty heavily on them - it's actually the most complex operation in it, hardware-wise.
You wanted to see an example of hardware development in HDL, so I thought it would be fitting.

@Wolf alright ill look more into that kinda stuff of how it works and understanding how the elgorythm of sia works in general. As of now im not even aware of how any of those algorythms work, why they pay solved block and why it needs to be mined in the first place xD

I was offering to describe addition in this thread, I meant - if you wanted. I can also go in-depth on mining and how that works, too.

I've just finished my modifications to sgminer - a lot of people have been wanting a pool version of my private miner.

Are you in the Sia Slack? Might be easier there.

@Wolf not atm i can join in about 10 mins when i arrive at home
-
@Wolf the invite is down for me so i can't join

Well, it's 2AM here, but let me know when you can join - I'll ask Taek to look into that. It'll be easier to discuss in a more interactive way.

@Wolf its 9 am here and i gotta work at 10 am too so yeah once i can acces the slack ima let you know ^^
