-Currently takes a couple of hours (average >4h) -Figure out how to find sha256 hashes faster :) -No dependencies to C libraries or any other non-python libraries.

Simply needs to multithread it ;)

My suggestion for how to provide multithreading is to simply split up the space of possible nonces, setting each core to do a portion of them.

Maybe it is possible to generate a block template which can be piped into mining software supporting GPU/ASIC?!

I was able to find a genesis block in about 10 minutes or less, it didn't take that long, I did it all in a VM.

Multiprocessing i have tried, but in python its a challenge,
