From 403c1bf0fbff2c7cb20afbd4413f36267029deef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Wladimir J. van der Laan" Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2014 09:58:14 +0200 Subject: contrib: remove getwork-based pyminer As the `getwork` API doesn't exist anymore, currently this script is useless. It would be nice to have a `getblocktemplate`-based Python example of a miner, but there is no point in keeping this one around except to confuse people. --- contrib/README.md | 4 - contrib/pyminer/README.md | 8 -- contrib/pyminer/example-config.cfg | 32 ----- contrib/pyminer/pyminer.py | 269 ------------------------------------- 4 files changed, 313 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 contrib/pyminer/README.md delete mode 100644 contrib/pyminer/example-config.cfg delete mode 100755 contrib/pyminer/pyminer.py (limited to 'contrib') diff --git a/contrib/README.md b/contrib/README.md index 63b1875d30..dae975e9ef 100644 --- a/contrib/README.md +++ b/contrib/README.md @@ -19,10 +19,6 @@ Contains the script `github-merge.sh` for merging github pull requests securely ### [Linearize](/contrib/linearize) ### Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain. -### [PyMiner](/contrib/pyminer) ### - -This is a 'getwork' CPU mining client for Bitcoin.
