FPGA miner for Equihash claims 10x. Please discuss on thread here:

FPGA Equihash Miner (developed for Aion network)

Aion blockchain (aion.network) has partnered with a chip company ePic (https://www.epicblockchain.io/) to develop mining hardware. Aion uses Equihash PoW but with custom parameters of 210,9 (instead of 200,9 as used in Zcash): Home · aionnetwork/aion_miner Wiki · GitHub. the amount of memory has been more than doubled from 144 MB to 300 MB based on some set of experimental parameters though the reference implementation uses over 500 MB. https://www.epicblockchain.io/blog/2018/5/7/aion-par…
