The NerdSoloMiner v2
This is a free and open source project that let you try to reach a bitcoin block with a small piece of hardware.
The main aim of this project is to let you learn more about minery and to have a beautiful piece of hardware in your desktop.
Original project https://github.com/valerio-vaccaro/HAN
- TTGO T-Display S3
- 3D BOX here
ESP32 implementing Stratum protocol to mine on solo pool. Pool can be changed but originally works with ckpool.
This project is using ESP32-S3, uses WifiManager to modify miner settings and save them to SPIFF.
This miner is multicore and multithreads, each thread mine a different block template. After 1,000,000 trials the block in refreshed in order to avoid mining on old template.
Current project is still in developement and more features will be added
- TTGO T-Display S3 > Buy it on aliexpress or amazon
- 3D BOX
Create your own miner using the online tool ESPtool and the binary files that you will find in the src/bin folder. If you want you can compile the entire project using Arduino, PlatformIO or Expressif IDF.
- Get a TTGO T-display S3
- Download this repository
- Go to ESPtool online: https://espressif.github.io/esptool-js/
- Load the firmware with the binaries from the src/bin folder.
- Plug your board and select each file from src/bin with its address
- Online ESPtool works with chrome, chromium, brave
- ESPtool recommendations: use 115200bps
- Build errors > If during firmware download upload stops, it's recommended to enter the board in boot mode. Unplug cable, hold right bottom button and then plug cable. Try programming
After programming, you will only need to setup your Wifi and BTC address.
- Connect to NerdMinerAP
- Setup your Wifi Network
- Add your BTCaddress
Optional you can select other pool:
Pool URL | Port | URL |
---|---|---|
solo.ckpool.org | 3333 | https://solo.ckpool.org/ |
btc.zsolo.bid | 6057 | https://zsolo.bid/en/btc-solo-mining-pool |
eu.stratum.slushpool.com | 3333 | https://braiins.com/pool |
If you need to reboot your currentConfig, hold right top button during 5 seconds and config will be deleted.
