Prerequisites

To run this project, you must have the following installed:

• Visual Studio Code: Download and install from https://code.visualstudio.com/

• Rust: Install the Rust toolchain using rustup by following the instructions at https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

• Ore-CLI: The required HardhatChad/ore-cli is included with the project. Follow the setup instructions provided in the project to get started. MAKE SURE TO STAY UP TO DATE!

Setup and Installation

1. Install Rust:

• For native Windows development, install Rust via rustup by visiting the official Rust installation page.
• For a Linux-like development environment on Windows, use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and then install Rust within it.

2. Build the Ore CLI:

Open VS Code, navigate to the project directory, ex.ore-cli-windows and execute:

cargo build --release

This will build the project into a target folder we will work with.

3. Create keypair file(s):

Caution

DO NOT SHOW OR COMMIT THESE ANYWHERE!!!! KEEP THEM LOCAL

You will need atleast 1 keypair or multiple if scripting with powershell.

Check out the windows-cli attached for help generating or converting!

Using the Ore CLI

Run the following command in Command Prompt, VS Terminal or PowerShell to start mining:

./target/release/ore --keypair <KEYPAIR-FILEPATH> mine

Suggested to pass custom rpc and priority-fee to get better success rate:

./target/release/ore --keypair <KEYPAIR-FILEPATH> --priority-fee <MICROLAMPORTS> --rpc <NETWORK-URL> mine

Live tracker i use to adjust priority-fee -> QuikNode Solana Priority Fee Tracker

Congrats! you should be all set up mining now!

Scripting with PowerShell

Looking to get setup scripting and running multiple instances? Its all been moved to -> windows-cli

Conclusion

This is all possible thanks to the ore-cli -> HardhatChad/ore-cli
