How To Mine DragonX

A guide to mining the RandomX coin DragonX, a HUSH Smart Chain.

DragonX



Install HUSH

Look at this guide if you have not already installed HUSH on the machine you intend to mine on.

Note: If running Windows head over to the releases page and download the latest Windows version. I would recommend installing Windows Terminal to make it easier to access and execute commands with windows powershell
Note: If running on a Virtual Machine make sure the VM network settings are set to Bridged Connection.


Linux - HUSH Smart Chain (HSC) Setup

After installing HUSH open a terminal in ~/hush3/src

Note: installation path may be different depending on if installed as root or normal user, look for the hush3 directory in either the root or home directory.

Start the HSC

Input the following command in your terminal:

./hush-smart-chain -ac_name=DRAGONX -ac_algo=randomx -ac_halving=3500000 -ac_reward=300000000 -ac_blocktime=36 -ac_private=1 -addnode=ip -gen=1 -genproclimit=1 &
Note: Make sure to input any parts with "-ac" in this command exactly, otherwise your node may not be able to connect!
Note: genproclimit is how many cpu threads to use for mining, in most cases 1 cpu core = 2 threads

Enable Mining

once the HSC is running all that is left to do is enable mining with this command:

./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX setgenerate true $(nproc) &

Verify Mining

To make sure you are actually connected to the network and mining input the following command:

./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX getinfo | grep connections
  • If it returns "connection": 1 you are connected and mining.


Windows - HUSH Smart Chain (HSC) Setup

After downloading the latest build of HUSH, unzip then navigate to the hush folder (ex: hush-3.9.2-win). Right click, Open in Terminal or type powershell in the address bar of windows explorer if windows terminal is not installed.


Start the HSC

Input the following command in your terminal:

./hush-smart-chain -ac_name="DRAGONX" -ac_algo="randomx" -ac_halving="3500000" -ac_reward="300000000" -ac_blocktime="36" -ac_private="1" -addnode="ip" -gen="1" -genproclimit="1"
Note: Make sure to input any parts with "-ac" in this command exactly, otherwise your node may not be able to connect!
Note: genproclimit is how many cpu threads to use for mining, in most cases 1 cpu core = 2 threads

Enable Mining

once the HSC is running all that is left to do is enable mining with this command, open another instance of terminal or powershell:

./hush-cli -ac_name="DRAGONX" setgenerate true

Verify Mining

To make sure you are actually connected to the network and mining input the following command:

./hush-cli -ac_name="DRAGONX" getinfo | grep connections
  • If it returns "connection": 1 you are connected and mining.


Useful RPC commands

All RPC commands for Hush can be used the same way for any HSC. The total list:
