I got more confused by "guessing a random number"
anyway tink about a website that you could go on there and guess a random number, and if the number is correct you will get 100k? (no gamble the random number will be used to mine bitcoin)
thats another idea BTW
not asmbling but desining one
No offence, but you should really start by reading (and understanding) the whitepaper before you start thinking about building a custom miner or a website where your users enter a nonce... Really, you're more than welcome to ask us info, but if you don't start by really understanding how the blockchain works, and how POW fits in the picture, you'll probably never 100% understand how this stuff works... And, well, building a custom miner or a site like you're brainstorming about without 100% understanding what you're actually doing won't result in much...
It would still be fun I guess to have a webapp that lets you guess a nonce, generates the block & hashes it & shows you if you hit the target diff or not (might just hardcode "no" but still fun
). Place in a captcha and you're still better off than paper mining but can have a guess let's say once every 10 seconds, so it's 0.1H/s ^^
