I went to a demo room, they had lot of those machines i could not figure out yet what are those doing and which software is used. I want to make an open-source software using my C++/Qt/C# skills on that. Looking for where to get started – YumYumYum – 2018-03-06T06:15:04.750

I am very curious to get started, my main goal is to make something free for community using rasperry pi or open-source CentOS/Ubuntu/ArchLinux. Step 1) should i be first requiring a Antminer hardware? or i can without get started with regular 64-bit PC's? Step 2) Programming wont be any issue but how do you make official wallets to make the networking or connecting to shares for getting inside the business? – YumYumYum – 2018-03-06T06:23:24.963

1in my own opinion you should get your own antminer first since you're gonna tweak it's software (not budget friendly, look at the price)

secondly, you can use bitcoin-core and install it into Ubuntu/CentOS server in order for the users/clients to generate their own addresses. – PPY XIII – 2018-03-06T06:26:41.643

1@YumYumYum I think your idea is generous on behalf of people who are gonna use your Open source code, if ever. but I think it'll be a waste of time since Bitcoin itself is open source. – PPY XIII – 2018-03-06T06:29:49.177

1) Buy antminer (hope it has software already to use and learn and then think how to improve it) 2) Get open-source framework that is available here https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/miner.cpp and then update into custom requirements? CORRECT?

1yes, but the answer is up to you, again, buying antminer just for tweaking it's sofware isnt budget friendly. you are just going to waste money. – PPY XIII – 2018-03-06T07:50:41.340
