If you want to try out a miner:
1. Download it from: https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-miner
Best if you download it trough git for future easy updates. Install git on your machine and:
git clone https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-miner.git
2. ./compile.sh
3. ./run.sh
4. Give it your passphrase (after you hit a key make sure visible XEL address is yours)
5. Give it a XEL running daemon IP address (default localhost)
6. Hit enter and submit work to the network in your XEL client UI as shown here https://player.vimeo.com/video/178616474?quality=1080p. If someone else will submit work to the network your miner will automatically start working on it.
7. Example work are here https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-reference-client/tree/master/elasticpl_examples. no_bounties_found.epl will not found any bounty! Be warned that this is debug job that will just expire after 250 blocks without any submissions.
Suggestions:
run miner with lower cpu priority for optimal experience. Especialy if you running miner on the same machine that you running XEL node.
i. e.
screen nice -n 20 ./run.sh
If you want to update XEL to the newest version:
Stop your node (CTRL + C)
Go to main directory of XEL and:
git pull origin master
./compile.sh
rm -rf nxt_test_db/
screen ./run.sh
If you want to update miner to the newest version:
Stop your miner (CTRL + C)
Go to main directory of miner and:
git pull origin master
./compile.sh
screen nice -n 20 ./run.sh
when i run ./compile.sh
it returns ./compile.sh: line 8: javac: command not found
pls help, need i install anything?
