Nimiq Mining Benchmark

An automated mining benchmark for mining Nimiq

Quickstart

1. Install Node.js v8.0.0 or higher.
2. On Ubuntu, install git and build-essential: sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential.
   • On other Linux systems, install git, python2.7, make and gcc.
   • For MacOS or Windows, check here for git and here for compilation tools.
3. If you want to use yarn to manage the dependencies, run: sudo npm install -g yarn.
4. Install gulp globally: sudo npm install -g gulp or yarn global add gulp.
5. Clone this repository: git clone --recursive https://github.com/bradrisse/nimiq-mining-benchmark.git.
6. Enter the directory: cd nimiq-mining-benchmark.
7. Run: npm install or yarn.
8. Run: npm run start or yarn start.

** For linux you may need to run with sudo (sudo yarn start)

HashRate Estimations

The estimated hash rates are based on previously tested setups and use a very rough slope calculation. The more benchmarks received, the better these will become.

Common Issues

1. Error: Cannot find module ...... nimiq_node

   Fix: cd core && sudo rm -rf node_modules && yarn && yarn build
