Introduction

This is a continuation of the 0.0.2 Miner that is on mistcoin.org

Setup Instructions (Mac)

1. Open a terminal

click Launchpad icon in the Dock

type Terminal in the search field

then click Terminal

2. Install homebrew

Paste this into the terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

3. Install nodejs with homebrew

brew install node

4. Download mist-miner

git clone https://github.com/blockparty-sh/mist-miner.git

5. Copy example.env file

Go into the downloaded directory

cd mist-miner

Paste this into the terminal:

cp example.env .env

6. Install the dependencies for the project

npm install

7. Set up Electron Cash SLP Edition Mining Wallet

Open Electron Cash SLP Edition and create a new normal wallet

Inside the wallet Click on the "Addresses" pane

Right click on the index 0 address and click on "Private key"

Copy the Private key (Command+c) (⌘ key)

Open the .env file by typing this into the terminal:

open -a TextEdit .env

On the third line you will see WIF=""

Paste your private key inside the quotes so that it looks like this: WIF="Kansadjasd767263764"

Save the file and close the editor.

8. Fund the Mining Wallet

Inside Electron Cash SLP again, right click the address at index 0 again and click on "Copy address"

Open a different wallet which has BCH available using Electron Cash SLP

Go to the "Send" pane

Inside the "Pay to" field, paste the address and then add the amount like this:

simpleledger:qpasd8a7sdasdjkasd7as7dd,0.00001870

Now copy everything in the "Pay to" field and paste it many more times, I did ~100

It should look like this:

simpleledger:qpasd8a7sdasdjkasd7as7dd,0.00001870
simpleledger:qpasd8a7sdasdjkasd7as7dd,0.00001870
simpleledger:qpasd8a7sdasdjkasd7as7dd,0.00001870
simpleledger:qpasd8a7sdasdjkasd7as7dd,0.00001870
simpleledger:qpasd8a7sdasdjkasd7as7dd,0.00001870
simpleledger:qpasd8a7sdasdjkasd7as7dd,0.00001870
simpleledger:qpasd8a7sdasdjkasd7as7dd,0.00001870

In the "BCH Amount" field put some small amount of BCH (like 0.0001), this wont be used but was needed for me to make it work

Click "Preview" to ensure that there are no mistakes and that the format was correct.

Then click "Sign" and then "Broadcast"

You can now close this wallet.

9. Start Mining

Inside the terminal type:

npm start

This will build the application and begin mining Mist!

10. Updating the Miner

git pull origin master
