I want to make a very simple Bitcoin mining software with use of getblocktemplate, my own SHA and block building. Is there any c or better c++ library that would help with the networking part? I am new to Bitcoin and would prefer to focus on the block building and hashing part for now, as I'm starting from scratch.
I'm aware of the difficulty level and I am doing this just for getting to know Bitcoin better.
When you say miner, do you mean you want to make hardware or software? – Jestin – 2016-10-25T21:09:00.447
Software, sorry for not making it clear – M-guy – 2016-10-25T21:17:14.437
So, bad news: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/41276/in-the-asic-age-is-it-worth-starting-mining-bitcoin-at-home If you just want to do this for fun, remember that you won't solve a block within your lifetime, so I don't know how much fun will be had. Maybe you should focus on just the block building aspect.
