+# Prototype Python Miner
+
+Questa cartella contiene la versione Python originale del miner.
+
+## Contenuto
+
+- `launcher.py`: orchestrazione multiprocesso e dashboard hashrate
+- `main.py`: ciclo mining single worker
+- `miner.py`: loop PoW SHA-256
+- `block_builder.py`: coinbase, merkle root, header, serializzazione blocco
+- `rpc.py`: helper RPC verso Bitcoin Core
+- `utils.py`: utility comuni (target, hash, watchdog)
+- `config.py.example`: template configurazione
+- `requirements.txt`: dipendenze Python
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+cd prototype
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Configurazione
+
+1. Crea `config.py` partendo dal template:
+
+```bash
+cp config.py.example config.py
+```
+
+2. Modifica `config.py` con i parametri RPC/wallet del tuo nodo.
+
+## Esecuzione
+
+Mining parallelo (consigliato):
+
+```bash
+python launcher.py
+```
+
+Con numero processi esplicito:
+
+```bash
+python launcher.py -n 4
+```
+
+Single worker:
+
+```bash
+python main.py
+```
