Final Project Comment
What began as a simple MVP to showcase an ASIC-hosting pool for the hackathon has rapidly evolved into a broader and more ambitious initiative. The original goal—demonstrating a minimal viable pool interface—has shifted toward realizing a fully functional Predictive Wave Collapse (PWC) miner, with both simulation and live integration capabilities.
Project Evolution
PWC Simulation Miner: Originally prototyped in C and later rewritten in Python for improved testing and accessibility.
pwc-minerRust-Based Solo Mining Pool: A foundational solo pool was created in Rust to support CPU-based solo mining.
solo-poolTest Miner Integration: A simple test miner was successfully connected to the solo pool, confirming basic functionality.
test-minerDistributed CPU Miner in Rust: The final stage involves replacing Python with a performant, scalable Rust implementation for distributed CPU mining.

Why This Is Going Live
This project is no longer just a technical demo for a hackathon. It is launching as a live experimental mining alternative, exploring:
- Decentralized CPU-based mining
- Custom solo pool integration
- Alternative algorithms like Predictive Wave Collapse (PWC)
The shift from MVP to production-ready infrastructure marks the beginning of a potentially disruptive contribution to the mining ecosystem.
