Hello Jake ! Wow cool project. But. If we look a little wider and connect a board to the esp32 hash? The BM1397 from S17 has 48 chips and is controlled via UART 3v3. Then the power will increase .. But it is not clear to me how to interact with the mining hosts and what to do with the results of the calculation. If you have any knowledge of how to replace the controller board with esp32, please share. Thank you.

The first thing I dug up https://github.com/wareck/cgminer-gekko There, inside, all interactions with the hardware hash boards and sites are painted. But I'm not smart enough to understand the structure. And now I'm looking for additional resources.

Jake, You mention mining a real block but say more on that later...I understand that between the halving, and difficulty it makes no sense to mine with an esp32 for any actual chance...but I want to prove that they can mine...as part of a similar experiment. I was wondering if you happened to complete this with any examples of an esp32 actually actively mining BTC...instead of previous blocks. If you have, did you post the code?

I think it would be neat to see.

is it not possible to mine on bitcoin blockchain using esp8266.
