Mining cryptocurrency ESP32 All Coin

Introduction

This tutorial guides you through the process of mining cryptocurrencies using an ESP32 board. By following these steps, you will set up your ESP32 to mine any coin that utilizes the SHA-256 algorithm, including popular options like Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). This project is ideal for DIY enthusiasts looking to explore cryptocurrency mining with low-cost hardware.

Step 1: Prepare the Necessary Tools and Files

Before starting, ensure you have the following resources:

• ESP32 Board: This is the main hardware for your mining operation.

Firmware Files: You will need to download the mining firmware from the following link

Flashing Tool: Download the flashing program from

• Flash Download Tool

Web Flasher: Alternatively, you can use the web-based flasher at

• Flasher Web Tool

Step 2: Flash the ESP32 Board

To set up your ESP32 for mining, follow these steps:

1. Connect the ESP32: Use a USB cable to connect your ESP32 board to your computer.
2. Open the Flash Tool: Launch the Flash Download Tool you downloaded.
3. Select Firmware: In the tool, choose the firmware file you downloaded earlier.
4. Start Flashing: Click the appropriate button to flash the firmware onto your ESP32.
5. Reboot the Device: Once flashing is complete, reboot the ESP32.

Step 3: Connect to the Mining Network

After flashing the firmware, connect your ESP32 to the mining network:

1. Find the Access Point: Look for the network named NerdMinerAP.
2. Connect to the Network: Use the password MineYourCoins to connect.
3. Set Up WiFi: Configure your home WiFi network. Ensure it is 2.4 GHz, as the ESP32 does not support 5 GHz networks.

Step 4: Configure Mining Settings

Now that your device is connected to the network, you need to set up your mining parameters:

1. Wallet Address: Use the following wallet address for receiving SHIB:

   0x6c3560a7eb838d1f03d84d37e0e99129ba05da21
   

2. Choose a Mining Pool: You can use the following pool for mining:

   • Main Pool URL: https://unmineable.com/?ref=c5en-spas
   • SHA256 Pool URL: sha256-asia.unmineable.com
   • Alternative Port: 3333

3. Submit Your Wallet: Ensure you format your wallet address correctly when entering it into the mining pool settings:

   SHIB:0x6c3560a7eb838d1f03d84d37e0e99129ba05da21.master01#c5en-spas
   

Conclusion

You have now set up your ESP32 board to mine cryptocurrencies using the SHA-256 algorithm. Remember to monitor your mining performance and adjust settings as necessary. As you dive deeper into cryptocurrency mining, consider experimenting with different coins and settings for optimal results. Happy mining!
