Nim Ethash
A pure Nim implementation of Ethash, the Ethereum proof of work
Implementation is based on the spec revision 23 (2017-08-03) and under the Apache License v2.
Mining
An unoptimized mining CPU backend is available through the compile-time flag -d:ethash_mining.
It requires compilation through the C++ backend.
Optimizations
For maximum speed, compile Ethash with -d:release -d:march_native -d:openmp.
This will compile Ethash in Nim release mode, with all supported CPU extensions (AVX2 especially) and with OpenMP multiprocessing
On MacOS, OpenMP requires installing GCC-7. It can be done through homebrew.
Original implementation
Original Ethereum implementation is available here.
