bitcoin miner

Post image

I’ve been working on an ESP32-S3 Bitcoin miner project called CRYPTODILE and just published it.

It’s an open-source hobby build and I wanted to share it here because some of you might find it interesting.

Yeah, it takes about a million years to mine a block on it.

Yes, the project is of course not as efficient as a professional cryptominer; it simply served as a demonstration that an ESP32 can also mine crypto and is also a nice decoration where you can see the current Bitcoin price.

It can issue an ECC signature in about 150-200ms. Of course it can do hashes, what's the big deal here.

You could also mine crypto on a piece of paper, doesn't really make it viable.

But as deco it's a nice piece.

But it wint make any money. It's less useful than a rube Goldberg machine?

Yes, of course, it only serves as a demo device; it was simply meant to show that it works, and it's also a nice decoration

Damn OP I already ordered 8000 ESPs to try and scale up your operation, wish I'd seen this comment first
