As you can probably guess im looking to create a bitcoin miner but the cryptography really isnt my thing and i've been unable to find much help through google, so how does hashing with standart openCL actually work?

(Yes, i know its a broad question but any pointers would be highly appreciated)

  • This is indeed way too broad for the Q&A format of stack overflow. Have you tried anything and are hitting a specific roadblock? – anthonyvd Sep 17 '15 at 19:58
  • Well the main problem is that i am unsure of how parallel processing works and i had hoped someone here could give me some guidance... – Ognian Mirev Sep 17 '15 at 20:12
  • If you don't know a lot about crypto or parallel processing then a GPU accelerated crypto-currency miner might be too big a step. You should probably take some time to learn the theory behind them and make some simpler things before jumping into this project. This question is definitely too broad for this site unfortunately. – anthonyvd Sep 17 '15 at 20:21
  • Well if you don't know anything about crypto why do you try to create a bitcoin miner? And for what purpose? – Felix K. Sep 17 '15 at 20:22
  • Ugh, i hate to admit that you are right... – Ognian Mirev Sep 17 '15 at 20:24

I think what you need is available in the .NET Framework, have you seen the SHA256 implementations in System.Security.Cryptography?

MSDN - SHA256
