Mining in the classroom

[BlockchainInTheClassroom]

Hi
For educational work my classmates and I would like to mount a experimental network to learn the blockchain tecnology.

We have  full control of 6 PCs with linux and/or windows 10 available

Is it easy to mount a pool?  How?
What can we easily mine? (No especial GPU)
Our own token?

Thank you very very much

You can create a cryptonote coin on this site https://cryptonotestarter.org
You can create a Ethereum token https://www.ethereum.org/token

As you'll be the only ones mining, you can even mine with a cpu.

Looks great....
I like the easy way of cryptonote and the "smart contracts" concept of ethereum...

But I don't know if we are able to compile the fork in the cryptonote option

And we do not have money to pay ETH needed to create the token...

Hi!
nice project!

And we do not have money to pay ETH needed to create the token...

you can use the test network for free

Can ethereum be mined with cpu?

Not now but it was. This is dated on 2015

So what about building my own pool?

Can't help but sounds interesting...

I'd see most of then use nodejs-pool....

Which alt coin  mining is most suitable in this time.ETH or BTC and CPU and GPu which will be pritable.

I'd see most of then use nodejs-pool....

But nodejs is for fata presentation and charts
What I want is the software to run the pool

Take a look at

Thanks
It is what I found too.
Expect to find a "official" repo from both ethereum or monero...

[ethminer012]

"Official"?
I don't that exists...
Ethereum's pools are made after the eth techonolgy
and monero's technoloy is cryptonote... 
Maybe this:

[BlockchainInTheClassroom]

Thanks again.
Any idea of the network bandwidth needed?

Pools are a construct from the mining community.  Generally they're not needed, and with BTC as example were actually counter to it's original design.  So you basically won't ever see pool code created by coin devs.

Nice project

Thanks 4 the explanation...
If I reach to install a pool... how do I add to the "coin network"? Is it there a  jerarquized coin network? How do I become a valid node?

[ethminer012]

I think this is called "masternode", but don.t know how to be one of them..

same as masternode but you need for close to mining on cpu and gpu not for older instructions and strategies to make pool such as mining for making profit and be practically just make perpectly the  operations on mobile or cpu and gpu mining
