Official miner implementation for the Elixium blockchain
Grab the appropriate latest release and unzip it. If you don't see a release fitting your system, you will have to build from source.
After downloading and unzipping the correct release, open a command line window, and navigate to the directory where you unzipped the release. You'll need an Elixium address in order to specify where to credit block rewards. If you already have one, skip ahead to the next section. In order to generate a key, run
./bin/elixium_miner genkeywhich will give you output that looks like:
Generated Address: EX05YqbW4otW2stMc8HzE3DkrBEJodAFGAtmYfzBsWRWJsYRrrHCt
Private Key: BC4F8A54697CC24B7718837D51B4C9A37FE7BBEA0A7C451670C1FBDFA4C6B236
IMPORTANT: Never share or lose your private key. Losing
the key means losing access to all funds associated with the key.The next step is to port forward ports 31013, 31014, and 32123 on your router. If you don't do this, other nodes on the network won't be able to connect to yours.
Once you have your address and have the correct ports forwarded, open the config.toml file with a text editor, and add your address:
address = "EX05YqbW4otW2stMc8HzE3DkrBEJodAFGAtmYfzBsWRWJsYRrrHCt"Next, double-click the run file to run the miner.
People who are comfortable working within a terminal may prefer to create their own
run script. To see usage options, cd into the directory where the miner is extracted,
and run ./bin/elixium_miner usage.
If none of the release candidates match your system architecture, it will be necessary to build from source. It is important to have elixir installed on your machine, this can be done by following the installation instructions.
In order to build from source:
- Clone this repository
- Run
mix deps.get - Run
MIX_ENV=prod mix release
Upon successful build, a tarball containing the compiled build can be found
in _build/prod/rel/elixium_miner/releases/<version_number>/elixium_miner.tar.gz
