ntgbtminer - C64 serial port edition

This is a version of ntgbtminer that works with C64 serial port (1200 8N1) data transmitted over TCP sockets from VICE x64 emulator.

With tiny changes it will work with real serial port devices.

ntgbtminer

ntgbtminer is a no thrills getblocktemplate Bitcoin miner. It is not performant, but demonstrates basic use of the getblocktemplate protocol for a standalone Bitcoin miner. It has no dependencies outside of standard Python libraries and a JSON-HTTP connection to your local Bitcoin daemon.
