Title: Simple php miner for scrypt (is it even possible?) Post by: cakepie on November 04, 2015, 11:08:27 PM Is it possible to create a simple php miner for scrypt, embedded into a single php file for windows/linux - without having to install anything ?
I don't care about performance at all. All I care about is simplicity. The possibility of running php miner.php (with the pools & users hard coded into the scrypt or as arguments) and have it work on most machines. As far as I have noticed, most miners out there require a lot of libraries or other things to install. Title: Re: Simple php miner for scrypt (is it even possible?)

PHP runs on server not client. If you mean on client, then yes there are JavaScript Miners. Title: Re: Simple php miner for scrypt (is it even possible?)

What do you even *mean* when you say server and client? I'm a programmer who wants to know the technical aspects of writing a bitcoin miner in PHP. I asked for a php miner and not a JavaScript miner.

I don't know what your trying to do but it fails on all levels. If you want to learn PHP don't pick a crypto miner application, choose something more appropriate like a web client. If you want to learn cryptography choose a language strong in computation like c++, PHP is not. Also pick an algorithm where CPU mining is still viable, scrypt is not. If you just want to mine scrypt coins forget about using a CPU or even a GPU, scrypt is dominated by ASICS. Or choose another algorithm and use one of the many fine miners that already exist. |
