 🗒⛏ notemine_hw ⚡⚙️

I recently discovered the notemine crate, which is a rust-base note miner.

the project compiles to WASM and caters for a web-native experience.

so I forked it into notemine_hw with the goal to support hardware acceleration (GPU, FPGA, ASIC) for mining nostr notes.

most of the boilerplate is bootstrapped (including CLI), while the WASM stuff were removed.

next steps are integration of Metal (MacOS) and OpenCL (Linux) libraries to replace the CPU-based SHA256 hashing.

I'm quite busy doing PoW on SV2 so I'm not sure how far I will get, but if any Nostr-PoW enthusiasts want to carry on the torch, contributions are very much welcome
