While the software for pools is under development, so mining is done only in solo.
Instructions for Linux
You will need to open two terminal sessions. This approach separates the daemon and the wallet separately in order to make cloud mining easy to use.
First, you must compile the source code. To install the wallet, run these commands:
git clone git://github.com/altair-coin/ALTAIR.git
cd ALTAIR
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev cmake
make -j4
The sources will compile for a while, wait. After finishing, in this terminal, type the following commands:
cd build/release/src
./altair
Let the wallet sync. Do not close the console (as soon as the daemon becomes active, you can use the show_hr command to find out your hashrate or the set_log 1/2/3 command to change the output density of log information). If you close the wallet daemon during mining, mining will also stop (obviously) and if you start the daemon again, mining will not continue (you must use the start_mining command in the wallet console to start mining).
Now, open the second terminal.
On Terminal 2, go to the same directory and type the following commands:
cd ALTAIR/build/release/src
./simplewallet --generate-new-wallet=name_of_my_wallet.bin
You will be asked to enter your password. Be careful: you will not receive any confirmation of entering the password, so be careful!
Close the wallet by typing the "exit" command.
Now type this command:
./simplewallet --wallet-file=name_of_my_wallet.bin
and enter your password. If you forgot your password or typed it incorrectly at the beginning, delete all files with names containing wallet. bin and start again. All your MRO will be lost forever if you have problems with the password, so you should check the availability of the wallet before mining begins. DON'T FORGET TO MAKE BACKUP COPIES OF YOUR WALLET FILES.
Now go to the "Mining" section. You can enter the help command to see a list of other commands, in the daemon and in the wallet. If you want to see only the appearance of new blocks in the network, just type "set_log 1" in the daemon (terminal 1).
Good luck to you and easy prey!
Extraction
And now the most pleasant thing: mining!
As soon as the wallet can send commands to the daemon, enter this command in the wallet (terminal 2):
Code:
start_mining
To find out the number of available threads, use the command nproc on Linux, sysctl -n hw. ncpu on Mac and WMIC CPU getDeviceId, NumberOfCores, NumberOfLogicalProcessors on Windows. Or of course, you can use a smaller number of threads (especially if you use the computer for something else, for example, for mining other cryptocurrencies on the GPU).
You can mine coins to any other address (terminal 1, not the wallet terminal):
Code:
start_mining
By the way, if you want to find out your hashrate, type show_hr in the daemon. And if you want to change the amount of information displayed, use set_log 1 (less information) to set_log 3 (maximum information).
How can you check that mining is going on? Check the PROCESSOR load :-) If it is less than 80%, most likely, there is still something wrong with the extraction.
I hope that the instructions helped you.
