I think that that is awesome and I want to know how to do it! See, I'm a prospective miner and I really need to get a feel for this whole thing before I decide to go real mining. Thanks!!! Wink

I'm new to mining and to familiarize myself with the process I wanted to look at some source code. Didn't find anything that was simple enough and written in a modern language. I resolved to learn the principles by implementing some basic but functional miner in C#. (I found all necessary infos on https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification)

It's mining single threaded at 240 Khases/s so it's really only relevent for educational purposes. It's pretty much what I was looking for but not finding. I could clean the source up and share it if people might be interested in that but there are so many, many miners out there that I don't want to waste my time.

So tell me: do you think there's an audience for a minimal reference implementation of a miner in C# or rather not?
