This is a version of ntgbtminer that works with the Game Boy bitcoin miner.

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.
