# Information for Miners
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is how a miner can get set up to accept storage deals. The first step is
|
|
|
|
|
to install a Lotus node and sync to the top of the chain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Set up an ask
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
2020-07-08 10:38:59 +00:00
|
|
|
lotus-miner set-price <price>
|
2020-04-08 00:35:41 +00:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This command will set up your miner to accept deal proposals that meet the input price.
|
|
|
|
|
The price is inputted in FIL per GiB per epoch, and the default is 0.0000000005.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Ensure you can be discovered
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clients need to be able to find you in order to make storage deals with you.
|
|
|
|
|
While there isn't necessarily anything you need to do to become discoverable, here are some things you can
|
|
|
|
|
try to check that people can connect to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start off, make sure you are connected to at least some peers, and your port is
|
|
|
|
|
open and working.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Connect to your own node
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are in contact with someone else running Lotus, you can ask them to try connecting
|
|
|
|
|
to your node. To do so, provide them your peer ID, which you can get by running `lotus net id` on
|
|
|
|
|
your node.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They can then try running `lotus net findpeer <peerID>` to get your address(es), and can then
|
|
|
|
|
run `lotus net connect <address>` to connect to you. If successful, your node will now
|
|
|
|
|
appear on their peers list (run `lotus net peers` to check).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also check this by running a second instance of Lotus yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Query your own ask
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A client should be able to find your ask by running `lotus client query-ask <minerID>`. If
|
|
|
|
|
someone is not able to retrieve your ask by doing so, then there is an issue with your node.
