BTB Mining

BTB miners are required to install and run a BitBi Node alongside mine software for BTB mining.

The following sections will provide a step-by-step guide on installing and configuring the mine software.

System Requirements

The BitBi mine software is compatible with Linux operating systems. It necessitates a 64-bit OS with a minimum of 3GB RAM and 100GB of available disk space. The software is optimized for multi-core processors and performs efficiently with a minimum of 2 cores.

Installation

To download the mine software, click on this Download Link.

After the software is downloaded, extract the tarball and execute the ./mined binary. Here's an example command to run the mine software:

./minerd -o http://[rpcuser]:[rpcpassword]@127.0.0.1:9800 --coinbase-addr=[your reward receive address] --coinbase-sig=[any identifier] -t 1

The software will then commence mining BTB.

Please note the following:

  • rpcuser and rpcpassword: are the credentials required to access the BitBi Node RPC API. You can locate these credentials in the ~/.bitbi/bitbi.conf file or obtain them from the BitBi node running command line using the -rpcuser and -rpcpassword options. If you don't have the credentials, you can create them in the ~/.bitbi/bitbi.conf file or add the credentials to the BitBi node running command line with the -rpcuser and -rpcpassword options, followed by restarting the BitBi node.

  • your reward receive address: represents the address where you wish to receive the mining rewards. You can generate a new address using our wallets.

  • any identifier is an identifier for the coinbase transaction. You can use any string as the identifier.

For more information about the mine software, you can run ./minerd --help to view the available options.
