Installation

From Git Sources

If you are looking to build from the repository (for debug / extension), note that the plugins are additional packages in the workspace. To compile a specific package, you run the following command or any subset of it

git clone https://github.com/karlsen-network/karlsen-miner
cd karlsen-miner
cargo build --release -p karlsen-miner -p karlsencuda

And, the miner (and plugins) will be in targets/release. You can replace the last line with

cargo build --release --all

From Binaries

The release page includes precompiled binaries for Linux, and Windows (for the GPU version).

Removing Plugins

To remove a plugin, you simply remove the corresponding dll/so for the directory of the miner.

• libkarlsencuda.so, libkarlsencuda.dll: Cuda support for karlsen-miner
• libkarlsenopencl.so, libkarlsenopencl.dll: OpenCL support for karlsen-miner (currently disabled)

Usage

To start mining, you need to run karlsend and have an address to send the rewards to. Here is a guidance on how to run a full node and how to generate addresses: https://github.com/karlsen-network/docs/blob/main/Getting%20Started/Rust%20Full%20Node%20Installation.md

karlsen-miner 
A Karlsen high performance CPU/GPU miner

USAGE:
    karlsen-miner [OPTIONS] --mining-address <MINING_ADDRESS>

OPTIONS:
    -a, --mining-address <MINING_ADDRESS>                  The Karlsen address for the miner reward
        --cuda-device <CUDA_DEVICE>                        Which CUDA GPUs to use [default: all]
        --cuda-disable                                     Disable cuda workers
        --cuda-lock-core-clocks <CUDA_LOCK_CORE_CLOCKS>    Lock core clocks eg: ,1200, [default: 0]
        --cuda-lock-mem-clocks <CUDA_LOCK_MEM_CLOCKS>      Lock mem clocks eg: ,810, [default: 0]
        --cuda-no-blocking-sync                            Actively wait for result. Higher CPU usage, but less red blocks. Can have lower workload.
        --cuda-power-limits <CUDA_POWER_LIMITS>            Lock power limits eg: ,150, [default: 0]
        --cuda-workload <CUDA_WORKLOAD>                    Ratio of nonces to GPU possible parrallel run [default: 64]
        --cuda-workload-absolute                           The values given by workload are not ratio, but absolute number of nonces [default: false]
    -d, --debug                                            Enable debug logging level
        --devfund-percent <DEVFUND_PERCENT>                The percentage of blocks to send to the devfund (minimum 0%) [default: 0]
    -h, --help                                             Print help information
        --mine-when-not-synced                             Mine even when karlsend says it is not synced
        --nonce-gen <NONCE_GEN>                            The random method used to generate nonces. Options: (i) xoshiro (ii) lean [default: lean]
    -p, --port <PORT>                                      karlsend port [default: Mainnet = 42110, Testnet = 42210, Devnet = 42610]
    -s, --karlsend-address <karlsend_ADDRESS>              IP, pool, or node address of the Karlsend instance. Use stratum+tcp:// for stratum or grpc:// for Karlsend (default: grpc://127.0.0.1)
    -t, --threads <NUM_THREADS>                            Amount of CPU miner threads to launch [default: 0]
        --testnet                                          Use testnet instead of mainnet [default: false]
        --devnet                                           Use devnet instead of mainnet [default: false]

To start mining, you just need to run the following:

./karlsen-miner --mining-address karlsen:XXXXX

This will run the miner on all the available GPU devcies.

Devfund

The devfund is a fund managed by the Karlsen community in order to fund Karlsen development
A miner that wants to mine higher percentage into the dev-fund can pass the following flags:
--devfund-precent=XX.YY to mine only XX.YY% of the blocks into the devfund.

This version automatically sets the devfund donation to the Karlsen Devfund, with a default donation rate of 0%

If you would like to support us, run the miner with the following command:

./karlsen-miner --devfund-percent <DEVFUND_PERCENT> --mining-address karlsen:XXXXX
