NerdMiner v2
Solo Bitcoin miner as a lottery ticket: the chance of a block is tiny, the stats screen is the fun part.
Chipnik catalog@chipnik-catalogNerdMiner v2 is a solo Bitcoin miner that works like a lottery ticket. The odds of finding a block are tiny, so the point is the screen: hash rate, network stats, time and the Bitcoin price, on a board that sits on your desk. Original project by BitMaker-hub on GitHub, MIT. Chipnik hosts the release binaries unchanged so you can flash them from the browser.
On first start the board opens a Wi-Fi access point where you enter your network and the Bitcoin address that would get a reward. It uses little power and does not earn money in practice.
Firmware files come from the nerdminer-release-V1.8.3 release.
