## Mining Instructions

You must have Hush v3.9.2 or greater to mine DRAGONX. Compile your own binaries (best for privacy and security) or download binaries here: https://git.hush.is/hush/hush3/releases/tag/v3.9.2 . Mining currently requires using the command-line in Linux, Windows or Mac. Mac currently requires the Hush `dev` branch of Hush. If you need binaries for Mac, ask on Telegram.

NOTE: Exact Mining Instructions for Mainnet Will Be Released on Nov 5th 2022! What follows are instructions to mine a testcoin version of DRAGONX called TESTDRAGONX, to verify your binaries work.

For Linux or Mac on the command line:
```
cd ~/git/hush3/src # or the directory where your binaries exist
# This mines a testcoin called TESTDRAGONX, to verify your binaries work
./hush-smart-chain -debug=randomx -ac_name=TESTDRAGONX -ac_algo=randomx -ac_halving=3500000 \
-ac_reward=300000000 -ac_blocktime=36 -ac_private=1 -testnode=1 -gen=1 &> TESTDRAGONX.log &
# Wait a few minutes, watch an inspirational video above to get in the mood
# See if you have a balance > 0. If so, you have successfully mined a block!
./hush-cli -ac_name=TESTDRAGONX getwalletinfo | grep balance

# If you see a balance > 0, everything is working fine. Here are some additional tests you can run:
# make new zaddr
ZADDR=$(./hush-cli -ac_name=TESTDRAGONX z_getnewaddress)
# look at your new zaddr
echo $ZADDR
# Shield your mining funds to your new zaddr
./hush-cli -ac_name=TESTDRAGONX z_shieldcoinbase "*" $ZADDR
# Check the status of your ztx:
./hush-cli -ac_name=TESTDRAGONX z_getoperationstatus | grep status
# If you see "status": "success" it worked
```

Run this to see many details about mining: `tail -f TESTDRAGONX.log`

You can also run this (on Linux) to see more general details of your TESTDRAGONX full node: `tail -f ~/.hush/TESTDRAGONX/debug.log`

When you are done testing: `./hush-cli -ac_name=TESTDRAGONX stop`

If problems, join Telegram and ask for help. 

# FAQs

Below the commands `dragonx-cli` and `dragonxd` are for mainnet, will exist after launch.

For testing, commands are `hush-cli -ac_name=TESTDRAGONX` and `hush-smart-chain -ac_name=TESTDRAGONX ...` command in "Mining instructions" above.

## How many DRAGONX blocks are mined per day?

`60*60*24 / 36 = 2400 DRAGONX blocks per day`

This means 7200 DRAGONX per day at 3 DRAGONX per block.

## How many DRAGONX will exist at the first halving?

`2400 * 365 * 4 = 10512000` DRAGONX at next halving in 4 years, approximately.

## How to control how many CPUs for mining?

All cores used by default. For testing use `./hush-cli -ac_name=TESTDRAGONX setgenerate true N` to use N cores. When mainnet, use `dragonx-cli setgenerate true N` to use N cores.

https://faq.hush.is/rpc/setgenerate.html for more details.

## How to see miner address?

Different miner address for every block mined, like BTC. Good for privacy. Use `dragonxd -mineraddress=ADDRESS` to set same address for every block mined. Less good privacy.

## Can I use xmrig/xmr-stak/etc to mine?

Currently DRAGONX is solo mining only, no pools support it yet. So you must mine from a full node, for now.

## How do I optimize my system hardware for DRAGON RandomX mining?

Optimizing system hardware for DRAGONX is same as XMR/etc RandomX mining. Newer better CPU's will mine faster. At least 8GB of RAM (4GB x 2) is better than a single RAM slot used. Faster RAM will mine better than slower RAM. https://old.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/ has good info about optimizing your hardware.
