The Modular Python Bitcoin Miner is a very flexible mining software written in Python, aiming to unify the frontend of FPGA-based mining hardware.
- Runs on Python 2.6+ / 3.0+
- Very flexible, to allow for all kinds of weird mining hardware and future mining pool protocols
- Multi-pool support (load balancing or failover, configurable)
- Multi-worker support
- Worker hotplug support
- Web interface
- All UI functions available through JSON API
- Can easily handle clusters of tens of gigahashes, dependinding on the board type
- Simple RS232-based interface, as a starting point for interface developers
- X6500 FPGA mining board (no need for D2XX driver!)
- Icarus board
- ZTEX boards
- Butterfly Labs (BFL) BitFORCE Single
- ...more to follow!
- Feel free to implement your own one!
- Board vendors: Contact TheSeven with an offer (e.g. a board for testing) if you want your board to be added!

- Donations to 18NjWHVHLxcDuuJSyvd2K6hHbo2yTNsLYQ are gratefully accepted
- Or, even better, donate a small share of your mining power to the MPBM authors by leaving the demo pool entries in the default configuration file enabled
