Topic: fpga litecoin mining (Read 913 times)
Welcome to the forum! Ignore the trolls, they are plentiful and and somewhat amusing.
Hello all,
i would like to use fpga for litecoin mining.
There is already written vhdl code for rs232 communication, sha256 and salsa20/8 functions. They work very well in simulator at the moment. I don't have target hardware, I would like to simulate whole mining process and then start thinking about suitable devices.
I would like to ask, what is input and what is output for mining. I was not able to find any document about that. There are lots of discussions about midstates, hashes, blocks, targets, nonces, etc... How does it actually work. What do I need to transfer to fpga to start processing? What is the end result of that, that earns my pieces of cryptocurrency?
Thank you,
linlin
