Is there any Support for run the NerdMiner onto ESP8266?

Hello dear NerdMiner's :)

Thank you very much for your efforts in developing this cool project

I have been trying for a few hours to get NerdMiner or LeafMiner running on an ESP8266 and unfortunately I have failed most of the time so far. First of all, after the reset after flashing, the LED of the MCU stayed on all the time but even then I couldn't find a new WLAN AP.

So the question arises whether there is any compatibility at all between the current firmware and the ESP8266?

Thanks in advance for any answer

Been doing the same over here and would also like to know the answer. I managed to get the Leafminer flashed to the ESP866, but no luck with Nerdminer yet.

For Leafminer you need to download the following:

Download the file called "firmware_esp8266.bin"

Then flash it with: NodeMCU PyFlasher https://github.com/marcelstoer/nodemcu-pyflasher

Look forward to finding out how to load Nerdminer onto the ESP866 however.

To add to this. My ESP8266 came with a integrated OLED screen. Is there support/can support be added for this?

Thank you for the response, i was able to get it running with Leafminer, at least for some time.. sadly after a few mining circles the miner starts to stop producing valid hashes and starts to reconnect to the wlan.

i tried to figure out whats going on when i looked into the source code, sadly i couldnt find the reason for the recon-issue, but i was able to find some lines there which refer to a screen inside of miner.cpp but they are in another if-case, so it won't get run on esp8266.

i also couldn't find a config file for an esp8266 screen like i found it for the other mcu's:

maybe when you experienced with c++ you could add the feature by adding a proper screen config file and include its into the codebase

I can't follow your tutorial, after I configure it, I connect to WiFi, but it disconnects for a moment, then reconnects for a moment, can anyone help me solve this problem?

An ESP8266 does not have the necessary hardware to calculate the Bitcoin Hashes the way this software is written, so better buy a ESP32 for a few dollars and have a go with that.
