## What it is
NerdSoloMiner v2 is open-source firmware that turns ESP32-based boards (like the LILYGO T-Display S3) into a small Bitcoin solo CPU miner implementing the Stratum protocol. It displays mining stats, a clock, and global network stats on the device screen and connects to solo pools such as public-pool.io over WiFi.

## Use cases
- mine bitcoin solo on an esp32 board
- build a desktop bitcoin lottery miner
- learn how bitcoin mining works hands-on
- implement stratum protocol on embedded hardware
- monitor global bitcoin mining stats on a small display
- flash mining firmware onto a lilygo t-display s3

## When to choose
- you want a fun, educational hobby miner on cheap ESP32 hardware
- you want a desktop gadget that occasionally solo-mines bitcoin blocks
- you want to experiment with Stratum protocol on embedded devices

## When to avoid
- you need profitable or serious hashrate mining
- you need compatibility with standard mining pools that require higher share difficulty
- you need a production-grade mining rig

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: embedded, networking, monitoring, gui
- domain: embedded-systems, hardware, education
- platform: embedded, iot, cross-platform
