This is the repo for 14828/18636 WebAssembly Ethereum miner project.
miner.html, miner.js and miner.wasm are compiled by executing ./compile.sh in the local-miner directory.
Runs in terminal by calling node miner.js or by opening miner.html in a browser. If opening in a browser, the HTML file must be served by a web server; the HTML file cannot be loaded as a local filesystem file (file://).
All input are dummy content and it is not really mining for now.
Get the miner work, probably through geth (Go Ethereum, as listed in the reference section). We can construct an central server with geth, which will send current block information to our clients(local-miner) for mining.
Also we can try other simpler cryptocurrencies (e.g. Zcash) if possible.
The miner simulated the Keccak hash function utilized by Ethereum.js/ethash.js in this repo, ethash, is a important reference of the hashing code implementation of local-miner/miner.cpp.
