This is a Bitcoin mining software for C64. This proof of concept works inside VICE x64 emulator and uses RS232 connection, exposed by emulator over TCP, to a mining software (ngbtminer) that handles communication between C64 and bitcoind.

It wouldn't be too difficult to replace communication part to a simple UART and try mining on all sorts of microcontrollers - from ATmega8 to ESP32.

The example that you see in the images section show a successfully mined block with nonce value 0x8a07bc5a. A C64 does one hashing round every 4.6s. To reach this result starting from nonce value 0 would take about 337 years and 10 months.
