If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that if it’s got a silicon chip inside, it could be carrying a virus. Research by one group focused on hiding a trojan inside an AVR Arduino bootloader, proving even our little hobbyist microcontrollers aren’t safe. The specific aim of the research was to hide a …
Braiins Systems has taken the initiative of releasing the first bitcoin mining pool, which is compatible with Antminerand Dragonmint mining rigs, and works with Braiins’ Slush Pool mining pool. This is a new alpha version of a new Linux distribution designed for ASIC mining. Based on OpenWrt Braiins OS, it is dubbed as the “first fully open-source, Linux-based system for …

I had one remote controlled project that needed an Arduino running 24/7 but I didn’t want to leave my $32 Arduino UNO, so I decided to buy some pieces and created my own Arduino. The most important part was buying the microcontroller. These were my options: ATMega328P-PU with Optiboot ~ $5.50 (Sparkfun) / $5.19 (Digikey) …
