Title: Writing your own Miner ... in PHP or Visual Basic.

Writing your own Miner ... in PHP or Visual Basic.

Would like to accomplish this. It doesnt have to (nor will it) be the fastest, just has to work.

Any ideas where to start.

If you're actually going to attempt this sort of thing (as a learning experience, perhaps) your best bet might be to take one of the established, popular miners, and translate as much as you can from its native language to the language of your choice. Once (if!) you finish that, you'll have a working codebase you can modify to your heart's content, and hopefully you'll have learned enough in the process to make the changes you want.
