Step 0: Install Rust
Most users of our Mining Pool will already have Rust installed and ready to use on their system. If you do not have Rust installed, please run the command below or follow the link below to the Rust website for the latest update!
Note: Additional packages such as build-essential may be required if you get a CC Linker not found error. Use the second command below to fix this error.
Cargo is a build tool and package manager for the Rust programming language that handles many tasks for Rust projects. We utilize Cargo to make installation of the Mining Client easy!
Utilize the command below to download and install all at once with Cargo!
If you are receiving the error 'pubkey is not authorized to mine. please sign up' when attempting to mine, then you must run the 'Sign Up' option before mining.
With our new v2 client, you no longer require confusing commands to begin mining or claim rewards! Simply run the ore-hq-client program using the command below to access our updated User Experience client, allowing you to utilize your Arrow Keys and Enter cycle through the menu!
Once you see this menu, scroll down to the Sign up option and press Enter!
During the Sign Up process, you will be requested to select a server and a keypair path.
The Server will be default for our client as this is the Ec1ipse Ore Pool Mining Client. At this option, simply press enter.
If you see this ~/.config/solana/id.json file, this means you have a Keypair file at the original path Solana Keypairs are saved!
If you do not have a Keypair saved at this location, you will instead receive the option to input a Keypair file path or directory. If you would like to utilize a different Keypair but still see this ~/.config/solana/id.json, please scroll down and select Custom, which will allow you to enter the path your keypair is located at. I have Keypair files under my directory of /home/ec1ipse/wallets, so I will enter this here!
Note: You will have a different location for these files so please gather this path yourself. You can also add the path to just the Keypair file itself! Remember that ~ represents your home directory!
~/wallets as well as /home/ec1ipse/wallets are the same path in my case!
Some operating systems such as windows require you to utilize \ instead of / in file paths.
Once you've successfully signed up, go ahead and run the program again to utilize this menu and select the Mine command. This will bring you to the Arguments menu where you will select your Server URL from earlier.
As you can see, your Keypair file(s) have been saved! You are now able to utilize this Keypair through our the entire program or select Remove to be prompted to select Keypairs to remove.
Once you've selected your Keypair, it will then ask you for the amount of Threads you would like to utilize to mine. This 4 shown is default, pressing enter will default to 4 threads.
The next and last step is to select your Buffer time in seconds. While this is optional, you are able to adjust this to decrease the amount of time it takes to send your transaction to the server. Setting this to 10 will add 10 seconds to your buffer time.
Typically we suggest utilizing 0 first, however if you have trouble submitting solutions to the server, please experiment with small numbers to resolve the errors.
Congratulations, you're now mining with the Ec1ipse Ore Mining Pool!
If you'd like to use this Keypair to Sign Up and begin mining, simply select this Keypair and press enter now! Once you've received the message you've successfully signed up, please skip to .
~/.config/solana/id.json, this will show populated automatically!
