What's included in the Pocket Miner

I've managed to fit a lot of electronics and features into a pocket-sized Altoids box:

  • Handy pocket or purse size, carry it with you everywhere
  • Two in-built solar panels that provide up to 700mW in good sunlight
  • Microcontroller with SHA256 (algo for many cryptos) in hardware
  • Dual microprocessors
  • WiFi (2.4Ghz, connect to a WiFi access point, or pair with your mobile phone)
  • Power management circuitry to seamlessly manage power from many sources, internal solar and external power (solar, USB, power bank)
  • Ability to update with new firmware and mining software at any time, ours or yours. As easy as dragging a file to a thumb-drive.
  • On-board ten farad super-capacitor to power the device and continue mining uninterrupted during cloud cover for up to 10 minutes when using solar power
  • Ability to overclock the microcontroller when power is abundant
  • You can switch from mining one cryptocurrency to another at any time with a flick of a switch
  • Solo mine, or pool mine, your choice
  • No crypto private keys or private crypto information whatsoever are stored on the device
  • Not a wallet
  • Can be used as a pocket IoT computational device (edge-AI anyone?) as well as a crypto miner
  • Programmable in MicroPython, CircuitPython and C/C++
  • Excellent way to learn about blockchain and cryptocurrencies in a hands-on and participative way
  • Some crypto is better than no crypto!
