How to mine coin with Equihash and Crytonight?
It's possible to solo CPU-mine with the node / wallet directly.
Choose mining algo with the '
setminingalgo' command
ID Proof-of-Work (PoW) Algo
--- ----------------------------
0. SCrypt
1. SHA256d
2. Yescrypt
3. Argon2d
4. X17
5. Lyra2REv2
6. EquiHash
7. CryptoNight
Start the built-in miner with the number of CPU cores you wish and on the algo you wish, with the '
setgenerate' command
(
Note: it does not makes sense to cpu-mine ASIC-centric algos like SHA256d and Scrypt)
setgenerate true <number of CPU cores> <pow_algo_id>
example for EquiHash:
bitmark-cli setminingalgo 6
bitmark-cli setgenerate true 4 6
example for CryptoNight:
bitmark-cli setminingalgo 7
bitmark-cli setgenerate true 4 7
Run the '
getmininginfo' command to confirm that your machine is mining
(note that '
genproclimit' is 1 [or more if you have more CPU cores], '
generate' is true and '
hashespersec' is some positive number) :
:~/.bitmark-dev$ bitmark-cli getmininginfo
