Are there any C# Bitcoin libraries and/or mining pool software packages? I was keen to write/launch a .Net pooled mining server as an exercise of getting into the Bitcoin universe.


Are there any C# ports of the libraries needed to achieve this?


If not 


Are there any current tech mining servers that would suit my skill set, C#/Java? 


I was keen to build out a site frontend &amp; backend.
Welcome

1) Here's an old project to start from

2) Here is the Bitcoin.it wiki entry on pool servers, including the derelict PoolServerJ

Mining is changing radically right now, with new hardware technology (ASICs) soon to be delivered which will likely increase the network hashrate by some orders of magnitude in the coming months. As a result, the protocols are changing to accommodate this increase, namely to stratum and getblocktemplate, if I recall correctly. 

Good luck!
