Thanks for this explanation, it's really useful and intuitive. I also found additional reference where it's explained more in-depth:

Thanks for the response. I already read about that stuff and rn I'm playing around with a few  USB Antminers but I would also like to know what is the information that is being logged by the miner. In my case I use BFGMiner.

Hello everyone! I was able to connect to the pool and start mining. Although my hash rate is tiny I would like to know what exactly happens when I get a message like
`Accepted <hex> CPU 1 Diff 17k/10k`
Do I somehow need to adjust the difficulty that is set by default (10k) to be closer to the pool difficulty which is currently 21.7 T?
Any reference articles on that where I can read the explanation myself? Tried looking it up in few places already but to no avail.
Thank for your help!

Are there any plans for restocking NewPac?

Hello! I'm interested in building some DIY ASCI USB miner just for fun/learning purposes. I bought some Antminer U2 recently and got interested to know how it works from the inside. I found one thread here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=161715.0
but it seems to be a bit old.

Could you please point me at some references, where I could start? I'm particularly interested in knowing where you can source parts (like ASIC chips).
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
