Instructions for generating a key pair

This assumes you have obtained a chainweb-miner binary, the full setup instructions for which can be found here

The easiest way to obtain a Key Pair is by typing chainweb-miner keys in your terminal window. Once generated, please be very careful to note down the public and secret (private) key as you don’t want to lose them.

Choosing an account name

The best way to ensure that your account does not already exist is by setting your account name equal to your public key

Using the miner

As above, this assumes you have obtained a chainweb-miner binary, the full setup instructions for which can be found here

Type this in your terminal window:

chainweb-miner cpu --cores 1 --node=<node:port-as-specified-above> --miner-account=<account-name-we-choose> --miner-key=<public-key-that-we-generated>

It’s also important to note that the account name determines who the mining rewards go to, so if you input an account name that you do not own, your mining rewards may be lost.
