Topic: My lightweight C# Bitcoin Miner - page 2. (Read 11186 times)
Thank you for this. I'm currently doing some development work, and this minimal implementation will go a long way.
I've written a very simple CPU based Bitcoin Miner in C#. Only about 300 lines of code but functional.
It uses the basic GETWORK protocol to connect to pools and mines at 400Kh/s a second. Not enough for serious mining but enough to find a valid share eventually, submit it to the pool server and be happy about the fact that you understand every single line of code that made it happen!
If you are trying to understand how Bitcoin mining works and are frustrated about not finding a reference implementation that is minimal and easy to understand (like me, 2 days ago) here's my contribution:
