Hi every one,
Can i mine ftc with an intel xeon phi ? And are there some fgpa to mine ftc
Thanks in advance,

I’ve just been reviewing mining software for FTC and saw nothing on fgpa yet. Neoscrypt should be still mineable on a cpu, but result will depend on the global hash rate and it may not be very economic.
Reading about Xeon Phi they say :
"Moving a code to Intel Xeon Phi might involve sitting down and adding a couple lines of directives that takes a few minutes. Moving a code to a GPU is a project.”
–Dan Stanzione, Deputy Director at Texas Advanced Computing Center
So it looks like the mining software would compile for it, however, it might really on threads to get a speed increase. The code is open source so you should be able to try a CPU miner.
-
If FPGAs exist for FTC (NeoScrypt) they are not public knowledge.
Mining on a CPU is more than likely going to result in you paying more in electric than you mine. A better option is something like a 7XXX series or newer video card to mine on.

I have no Xeon Phi, therefore no performance estimates. It’s expensive. Video cards are likely to offer better performance per dollar and watt.

Ok thanks for your answer, it was just a little question but i dont have xeon phi to test that
😧😧
