# Storage Mining
|
|
|
|
Here are instructions to learn how to perform storage mining. For hardware specifications please read [this](https://docs.lotu.sh/en+hardware-mining).
|
|
|
|
It is useful to [join the DevNet](https://docs.lotu.sh/en+join-devnet) prior to attempting storage mining for the first time.
|
|
|
|
## Get started
|
|
|
|
Please ensure that at least one **BLS address** (`t3..`) in your wallet exists with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
lotus wallet list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With this address, go to the [faucet](https://lotus-faucet.kittyhawk.wtf/miner.html), and
|
|
click `Create Miner`
|
|
|
|
Await this response:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
To initialize the storage miner run the following command
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Initialize the storage miner
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
lotus-storage-miner init --actor=ACTOR_VALUE_RECEIVED --owner=OWNER_VALUE_RECEIVED
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
lotus-storage-miner init --actor=t01424 --owner=t3spmep2xxsl33o4gxk7yjxcobyohzgj3vejzerug25iinbznpzob6a6kexcbeix73th6vjtzfq7boakfdtd6a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command will take 30-60 seconds.
|
|
|
|
## Mining
|
|
|
|
To mine:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
lotus-storage-miner run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Get information about your miner:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
lotus-storage-miner info
|
|
# example: miner id `t0111`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Seal** random data to start producing **PoSts**:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
lotus-storage-miner pledge-sector
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Get **miner power** and **sector usage**:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
lotus-storage-miner state power
|
|
# returns total power
|
|
|
|
lotus-storage-miner state power <miner>
|
|
|
|
lotus-storage-miner state sectors <miner>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Change nickname
|
|
|
|
Update `~/.lotus/config.toml` with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
[Metrics]
|
|
Nickname="snoopy"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
lotus-storage-miner info
|
|
# WARN main lotus-storage-miner/main.go:73 failed to get api endpoint: (/Users/myrmidon/.lotusstorage) %!w(*errors.errorString=&{API not running (no endpoint)}):
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you see this, that means your **Lotus Storage Miner** isn't ready yet. |
