# open-hardware-bitcoin-blocks
A list of Bitcoin blocks mined from bedrooms, offices, garages with open source hardware you can build and trust.
## Usage
There is a JSON file `blocks.json` for download. The file is an array of JSON objects like:
```javascript
[
{
"height": 943466,
"timestamp": 1775196460,
"hash": "00000000000000000000193bc4e2031f73d252f27d3b63e2b0b25da6059c6eda",
"link": "https://mempool.space/block/00000000000000000000193bc4e2031f73d252f27d3b63e2b0b25da6059c6eda",
"miner": "nerdoctaxe",
"details": "First hosted Public Pool block. First NerdOctaxe block." // optional, can be missing
}
]
```
## History
The [bitaxe](https://bitaxe.org/) project restarted open hardware bitcoin mining by leveraging existing ASIC chips with
fully open source mining firmware and control. To further that effort the [256 Foundation](https://github.com/256foundation)
has hosted Telehashs to raise funds to sponsor open software/hardware developers. [OpenSats](https://opensats.org/blog/open-hardware-for-open-money)
has sponsored open projects and developers across the world. Those sponsorships have fostered multiple projects to
reestablish open software and hardware as the future of bitcoin mining.
