Solo Mining
Solo-mining means that you, alone, try to find the next block.
It is extremely hard, and not recommended - try our other guides if you want a more steady flow of TRTL.
Solo-mining is limited to only your CPU.
If you're sure you want to solo mine, let's continue.
Setup and Running
Make sure you have XTCASHnetwork
and miner
, both can be found in the latest release.
https://github.com/TRRXITTE/"assetname"/releases
Note: If they aren't there, you'll have to compile it yourself:
https://github.com/TRRXITTE/"asset name"/tree/master/docs
Ensure XTCASHnetwork
is running and fully synced.
Go to your folder that has miner.exe
in it and start a cmd prompt.
- This can easily be done by moving to the
XTCASHnetwork
directory in Windows Explorer, then typingcmd
in the search bar and hitting enter:
In Linux, you may be able to right click on your directory and "Open in" Terminal
When it opens, type:
miner --address cash.. --threads 4 --scan-time 1 --log-level 3
Repace cash..
with your traaittXTCASH public address.
We recommend setting the --threads
option to half of how many you have. So if you have 12 threads in your CPU, set it to 6
.
Example:
miner --address cashv3pFrFm2yk4cYNtKf5fxV1b594tNrZfEV2CYWJsTSqr9BWoWMrUNpQaeD9StrzQrxpRQKPCdd1FfvT6D6dAg4pY6iB7sqsG --threads 4 --scan-time 1 --log-level 3
Congratulations, you are now solo mining traaittXTCASH from your CPU.
Notes
XTCASHnetwork
must stay running for the miner to mine traaittXTCASH.- Be patient. Finding a block may happen within the first few hours of mining. It also may take a week. Or it may never happen.
- If you accidently close out
XTCASHnetwork
you can restart the miner by hitting Ctrl+C on your keyboard, then re-entering the miner command given above. - You may have to adjust the amount of threads based on your PC's capabilities(half of how many your CPU has is recommended).
