Mining Notes

  • CPU mining only - no GPU or ASIC support
  • Adjust thread count based on your CPU cores
  • Use spare resources only - mining uses significant CPU power

Mining from Source (Advanced)

This method requires a compiler and build tools

Make sure you have GCC, Make, and other standard build tools installed on your system.

1.Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/moneta/moneta.git
2.Build the Project
cd moneta && make
3.Run the Daemon
./monetad --seed-node=seed.monetachain.network:34570
4.Create a Wallet
./moneta-wallet-cli --generate-new-wallet=my_wallet
5.Start Mining
./monetad start_mining <wallet_address> <threads>

Seed Node

Connect to the network using the official seed node:

seed.monetachain.network:34570

Troubleshooting

Node not syncing

Ensure your firewall allows connections on port 34570. Check that the seed node is reachable.

Low hashrate

Adjust thread count to match your CPU cores. Leave some threads free for system stability.

Wallet not showing balance

Wait for the node to fully sync. Balance will appear once the blockchain is up to date.

Connection refused

Check if another instance is running. The daemon uses exclusive port access.
