This is now the main repository for mining for the PegNet
The TestNet has started writing records in mid June.
This is a work in progress. The TestNet is certain to reset the actual rewards a few times as we develop more code and adjust the approach. None the less, it is a great help to have multiple people do mining. If you would like to help, you can run a miner. To do so, do these 10 things:
Assumes Linux or use of a virtual machine running Linux
-
Clone the OracleRecord repository https://github.com/pegnet/pegnet
-
Copy the defaultconfig.ini file from the OracleRecord repository to ~/.pegnet directory
-
Sign up for an API Key from https://currencylayer.com.
-
Replace the Oracle.APILayerKey key with your API Key
-
Edit the Miner.IdentityChain to add a unique name like:
-
IdentityChain=prototype,BigMiner
-
Right now you can donate to the cause, and leave the pPNT address alone. We will had a utility to generate your own PNT address from one of your FCT addresses in your wallet
7.5 Run a local factomd instance, and run factom-walletd. This will give you a factom node to run against, and a wallet to write entries with. There is an Open Node configuration, and we will add instructions for that soon.
-
Buy some Entry Credits and fund one of your EC addresses in your factom-walletd wallet
-
Download the image checked into the PegNetDistribution repository
-
Create a folder and Run it.
