The process is very similar for monero and bitcoin. The low level hashing is different, but the idea's the same. There are of course open source miners for monero. You'll want to use existing Cryptonight code, most lilkely (Monero uses Cryptonight as a PoW hash instead of SHA256 like bitcoin). Such code can be found in the monero tree itself, or any miner such as Wolf's minerd.
Computer Science Final Project - Help

Hi,
My name is Bruno and I'm finishing the course in computer science and have a project to do and then get the diploma course. My teacher gives me the project to develop a Monero miner in C/C++ or Python and actually I'm a little lost.
I understand the process of the mining Bitcoin but I can not understand the process of mining Monero.
Can anyone tell me where I can find information about the process of the mining Monero?
Is there any mining project Monero Open-Source?
Thank you all,
Bruno
