What are those hardware doing? Which open-source or closed source software to use on those? I want to buy one of those hardware for my learning and programming.
Any advise?

I went to a demo room, they had lot of those machines i could not figure out yet what are those doing and which software is used. I want to make an open-source software using my C++/Qt/C# skills on that. Looking for where to get started Commented Mar 6, 2018 at 6:15

1I suppose this is what you are looking for - github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/miner.cpp it's already written in C++. but as far as I know it's open source so you can tweak it in whatever language you like.– PPY XIIICommented Mar 6, 2018 at 6:19

1in my own opinion you should get your own antminer first since you're gonna tweak it's software (not budget friendly, look at the price) secondly, you can use bitcoin-core and install it into Ubuntu/CentOS server in order for the users/clients to generate their own addresses.– PPY XIIICommented Mar 6, 2018 at 6:26

1@YumYumYum I think your idea is generous on behalf of people who are gonna use your Open source code, if ever. but I think it'll be a waste of time since Bitcoin itself is open source.– PPY XIIICommented Mar 6, 2018 at 6:29

1yes, but the answer is up to you, again, buying antminer just for tweaking it's sofware isnt budget friendly. you are just going to waste money.– PPY XIIICommented Mar 6, 2018 at 7:50
