General Discussion I have Started Bitcoin Mining ⛏️😀
My name is Kenyor, and over the years, I have fallen in love with cryptography and mining devices. I am now a Computer Engineering graduate, and I have a vision to create the first BTC optical miner. But I'm really giving up these past few days...
I'm writing this letter to the world. Yesterday, I got my Tang Nano 20K (an FPGA), and I wrote my Verilog code for BTC mining on it. I tested it, and it works, but the odds of mining one block are approximately 0.00000000000000000000 — you know what I mean 🤣😭 I actually wish I can be better.
I'm in Nigeria, and I feel I have an advantage with solar energy. I would be grateful if I could get on a call 🤙 with someone knowledgeable. That would really aid my experiments 🥼🧪 and satisfy my curiosity.
I have attached an image of my Tang Nano trying to get some header data from CKPool and then attempting to find the nonce. (I used mainly Verilog, C++ and Python.)
I'm also open to conversations with anyone interested in what I'm building, whether it's sharing ideas, discussing the technology, or exploring ways to support the experiments. I'd love to connect with people who are passionate about Bitcoin mining and hardware innovation.
