Getting started

Ensure that at least one BLS address (t3..) in your wallet exists

$ lotus wallet list
t3...

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

Wait for a page telling you the address of the newly created storage miner to appear.

The screen should show: New storage miners address is: t0..

Initialize

$ lotus-storage-miner init --actor=t01.. --owner=t3....

This command should return successfully after miner is setup on-chain (30-60s)

Start mining

$ lotus-storage-miner run

To view the miner id used for deals:

$ lotus-storage-miner info

e.g. miner id t0111

Seal random data to start producing PoSts:

$ lotus-storage-miner store-garbage

You can check miner power and sector usage with the miner id:

# Total power of the network
$ lotus-storage-miner state power

$ lotus-storage-miner state power <miner>

$ lotus-storage-miner state sectors <miner>
