What you need for this book
You will need a computer, preferably running Linux, but Windows and OS X is fine as well. You will also need an internet connection. If you'd like to try mining with a GPU, FPGA, or ASIC, you would need to have one (or more) of those hardware pieces. All software is open source and can be downloaded from the internet. We provide links in the chapters to the required software.
