Plugged an old... very old... Asic USB Eruptor into one of my #homelab servers and got #cgminer working, mining against a solo pool (public-pool.io).
It only draws a few watts, so what the hell... it has a 1 in 23 million chance per day of mining a block. And if I do, it's worth about £260k.
Cheaper than a lottery ticket...
#mining #bitcoin in 2023/2024 feels so much 2014! Mining with #cgminer against #bfgminer as stratum proxy on a #raspi4 running a full node bitcoin core v0.24.0.
All needed now is a s**tload of luck!

I had a look back at when I started creating cgminer in 2011 and when it started being replaced as the defacto standard Bitcoin mining software only recently and realised that at least 10 million Bitcoin has been created with my software and it's still minting Bitcoin today.
