 # NerdSoloMiner
+
 **The NerdSoloMiner v2**

 This is a **free and open source project** that let you try to reach a bitcoin block with a small piece of hardware.

 The main aim of this project is to let you **learn more about minery** and to have a beautiful piece of hardware in your desktop.

 ### Project description
-**ESP32 implementing Stratum protocol** to mine on solo pool. Pool can be changed but originally works with Public-pool.io (where Nerdminers are supported).

+**ESP32 implementing Stratum protocol** to mine on solo pool. Pool can be changed but originally works with [public-pool.io][https://web.public-pool.io] (where Nerdminers are supported).

 This project was initialy developed using ESP32-S3, but currently support other boards. It uses WifiManager to modify miner settings and save them to SPIFF.
 The microMiner comes with several screens to monitor it's working procedure and also to show you network mining stats.
 Currently includes:
+
 - NerdMiner Screen > Mining data of Nerdminer
 - ClockMiner Screen > Fashion style clock miner
 - GlobalStats Screen > Global minery stats and relevant data

 **IMPORTANT** Miner is not seen by all standard pools due to its low share difficulty. You can check miner work remotely using specific pools specified down or seeing logs via UART.

 #### microMiners Flashtool [Recommended]
+
 Easyiest way to flash firmware. Build your own miner using the folowing firwmare flash tool:

 1. Get a TTGO T-display S3 or any other supported board
 1. Go to NM2 flasher online: https://bitmaker-hub.github.io/diyflasher/

 #### Standard tool
-Create your own miner using the online firwmare flash tool **ESPtool** and one of the **binary files** that you will find in the ``bin`` folder.
