How to solo mine Wownero
Wownero is solo-mining only since Junkie Jeff Hardfork (4th july 2021).
With SuchMiner
To solo mine you can use SuchMiner, a high-performance Wownero miner. With SuchMiner, running a node isn't required, but it's strongly recommended (less latency = more profit!).
- Download SuchMiner and unzip the downloaded folder. If you wish you can also verify the hash and signature, or build by yourself.
- For security reasons it is strongly recommeneded to create a new wallet for mining. You can use Wowlet or Wownero Wallet CLI.
- Run SuchMiner and enter your wallet address and private spend key when prompted. In WowLet you can see them with wallet>keys.
Mining Directly With Wownerod
This guide was copied and extended from JR Swab's blog post - read the source here and consider supporting him with a small tip.
- Download the latest version of Wownero to your mining computer here: Wownero releases.
- Extract the download
- Open a terminal in the extracted directory (you should see wownerod, wownero-wallet-cli, etc from the ls command)
- Create a new wallet for mining by running ./wownero-wallet-cli --generate-new-wallet mining
- Note the wallet’s mnemonic seed and store it safely
- Enter spendkey while in the wallet CLI interface and note the secret spend key (aka
{SECRET-SPENDKEY}
) - Enter address while in the wallet CLI interface and note the primary address (aka
{YOUR-ADDRESS}
) - Run
./wownerod --start-mining {YOUR-ADDRESS} --spend-secret-key {SECRET-SPENDKEY}
When the blockchain finishes synchronizing, mining will begin.
With XMRig
Once again copied from JR Swab’s blog post.
Perform the above steps but change number 8; wownerod must be running in your terminal without mining options (just run ./wownerod):
- Download the latest XMRig release
- Extract the download
- Open a new terminal in the extracted directory (you should see xmrig from the ls command)
- Run
./xmrig --url 127.0.0.1:34568 --user {YOUR-ADDRESS} --algo rx/wow --spend-secret-key {SECRET-SPENDKEY} --daemon
; run with sudo for additional performance
Wen block?
SuchMiner prints the expected block time every few minutes. If you are not using SuchMiner, then CryptUnit is a great solo mining calculator. Please keep in mind that solo mining is a lottery - it might take you more or less time to find a block, depending on your luck.
