Mining Illustrated feat. Mujina Open-Source Firmware
summary
Guided walkthrough of the full mining data path with live demo: Mujina open-source firmware runs on laptops in CPU mode (roughly 1–10 MH/s per core), then talks over USB to single-chip Bitaxe Gamma hashboards (about 1.2 TH/s per chip). A private signet with ~2.5 MH/s shows 30s blocks and 10-block retargeting; pool handles transaction selection and share accounting; one ASIC immediately overwhelms CPU miners, and the Bitaxe rigs work once heat‑sink/thermal paste and USB passthrough are correct.
