Direct Mining

  • Go to Electroneum's download page and scroll down to where it says "Direct Mining Software" then choose your operating system and click download. I will be using the Mac miner for this tutorial.
  • Unzip the file and click on "electroneumd" to start syncing with the blockchain. It can take up to 24 hours to do so.
  • Next create a wallet address. To do so click "electroneum-wallet-cli" and follow the steps to create a wallet.
  • To start mining in "electoneumd" type "start_mining <wallet_address> <number_of_threads>".
  • Congratulations, you are now mining Electroneum! To stop the miner type "stop_mining" and you can type "help" for more options.

Pool Mining

The best way to mine for Electroneum is to do so with a mining pool. There are many choices with varying pool fees, donation fees and locations. To help reduce latency, choose a pool that's in a location near you. For this tutorial I will

Choose an Electroneum mining pool

Create a wallet

= Set up miner

  • Install the following prerequisites

sudo apt-get install git

sudo apt-get install aptitude

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install –with-recommends build-essential autotools-dev autoconf automake libcurl3 libcurl4-gnutls-dev git make cmake libssl-dev pkg-config libevent-dev libunbound-dev libminiupnpc-dev doxygen supervisor jq libboost-all-dev htop

  • Make sure you are using gcc v5

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-5

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 1

  • Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/toninoxp/CPUMiner-Multi.git

  • Set up mining client

cd CpuMiner-Multi

unzip cpuminer-multi.zip

cd cpuminer-multi

./autogen.sh

./configure

make

  • Run custom mining script

Example: ./minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://pool.etn.spacepools.3333 -u etnkKC7Ed1T62u1ZcADw7ZCpDAmudSe2CbW1NaYwUahzSwFty3WCTMYeVU4v1ADhZ1P9Wf1D2VRE6MnZGcvh5RXp5NEreL3rjk -p x &

To end mining type "control c".

To see your pool stats, look up your wallet address in the mining pool's website and you should see something like this:
