A model-free characterization lab for retro mining silicon — began as a Butterfly Labs Jalapeño (2013 SHA-256 ASIC) toolkit, now spanning the Icarus family (Block Erupter, Antminer U, GekkoScience). Protocol re-derivation, device census, dead-core detection, plus NIST SP 800-22 randomness, hash dynamics, and an ML learnability study.
