I have a few questions about monero mining.
I am an software engineer student interested in cryptocoin, currently try to get a deep understanding of the mining process.
so as a start, i try to write my one miners.
i found a lot of simple examples for Bitcoin and Litecoin miners, like this one: https://github.com/ricmoo/nightminer
but when i get to monero, there is no easy reference or any document that i found that explains how the mining process work for monero.
i guess it's pretty similar, but i want to know exactly the process until the point that i can write my one working miner.
i tried to look at some of the miners out there (like https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig and https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak and https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight) but they are all big projects written in c/c++ and very hard to understand from.
can someone please point me to a simple miner project (like the one above for bitcoin/Litecoin) that i can understand the mining process for Monero in details from, or even White Paper Which detail the Monero mining process?
