Storage Mining

Here are instructions to learn how to perform storage mining. For hardware specifications please read this.

It is useful to join the 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:

lotus wallet list

With this address, go to the faucet, and click Create Miner

Await this response:

To initialize the storage miner run the following command

Initialize the storage miner

lotus-storage-miner init --actor=ACTOR_VALUE_RECEIVED --owner=OWNER_VALUE_RECEIVED

Example

lotus-storage-miner init --actor=t01424 --owner=t3spmep2xxsl33o4gxk7yjxcobyohzgj3vejzerug25iinbznpzob6a6kexcbeix73th6vjtzfq7boakfdtd6a

This command will take 30-60 seconds.

Mining

To mine:

lotus-storage-miner run

Get information about your miner:

lotus-storage-miner info
# example: miner id `t0111`

Seal random data to start producing PoSts:

lotus-storage-miner pledge-sector

Get miner power and sector usage:

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:

[Metrics]
Nickname="snoopy"

Troubleshooting

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.
