Yet Another ZEC Miner, CPU miner for https://z.cash/

Reimplementation of xenoncat/Tromp algorithm, just to understand it better by myself. Performs around the same as Tromp's equi1. It's single-threaded on purpose, and uses 200 MB of memory now. The aim was the pure C miner with no dependencies, that works of either little-endian or big-endian platform (ultrasparc speed is so pathetic).

c/ is portable C sources to produce binary for your platform.

js-emscripten/ is a port to emscipten for mining in WebAssembly-compatible browser

js-backend/ is a server-side support for browser mining, allows many sessions (tested up to 44K sessions, many thanks to https://github.com/kosjak1)

pool-emu/ may be handy for debugging your miners.

Code used:

• BLAKE2b reference implementation from RFC 7693
• BLAKE2b optimized for SSE4.1/SSE2, taken from equihash by John Tromp https://github.com/tromp/equihash
• SHA-256 taken from cgminer by Con Kolivas https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/
• JSON parser by Serge A. Zaitsev https://github.com/zserge/jsmn

How to run binary: ./yazecminer -l eu1-zcash.flypool.org -u {workername} -d 3
