Title: Need a lot of info about sha256 mining and scrypt
Post by: Acidyo on April 02, 2014, 07:14:31 PM
I'm writing a school thesis on the matter, needs to be about 20-30 pages long, but am having trouble finding good enough info on what mining actually is, what it does, how it works etc in great detail.

Anyone know any good wiki sites for this?

Much appreciated.
