Dear CypherTroophers,
It has been a couple months since our last post! We apologize for the delay, and hope that you have all been eagerly awaiting our next post. Today, we bring to the community instruction guide for how to mine Cypherium. Without further ado, let’s get straight into it!
Installing the Cypherium Network:
Firstly, you need to open Cypherium’s git clone at /cypherBFTBin.
Next, you will need to install the openssl, of which there are two separate options. If you are using Linux, you will need to input:
sudo apt-get install openssl
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
On the other hand, if you are using Mac, you will need to input:
git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl
cd openssl
sudo ./config — prefix=/usr/local/openssl
make
make install
openssl version
At this point, if you get an error that says libssl1.0.0 is not found, you must manually install it. You will need to input:
apt install multiarch-support
dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u12_amd64.deb
Remember to let the chain sync fully before moving on. You will see the blocks being output as each one is confirmed and downloaded.
Basic console and RPC commands:
By basic console, we mean that it is running in terminal mode, whereas RPC command signifies running via RPC commands. RPC commands are our recommended method.
In order to start the node, input:
Console: sudo ./start.sh 1
RPC: sudo ./start.sh 0
In order to get block, input:
Console: cph.txBlockNumber
RPC: curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” — data ‘{“id”:”1", “method”: “cph_txBlockNumber”}’ 0.0.0.0:18004
In order to create an account, input:
Console: personal.newAccount(“password”)
RPC: curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” — data ‘{“id”:”1", “method”: “personal_newAccount”, “params”: [“password”]}’ 0.0.0.0:18004
In order to create view accounts, input:
Console: personal.listAccounts
RPC: curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” — data ‘{“id”:”1", “method”: “personal_listAccounts”}’ 0.0.0.0:18004
In order to create view balance, input the information below. You must replace the information within the brackets with your own address:
Console: cph.getBalance(“0x23b30deee3257a6ecee5d3c6b84a1303227d0ec6”)
RPC: curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” — data ‘{“method”: “cph_getBalance”, “params”: [“0x23b30deee3257a6ecee5d3c6b84a1303227d0ec6”, “latest”], “id”:”1"}’ 0.0.0.0:18004
In order to unlock your account, input the information below. You must replace the information within the brackets with your own address and password:
Console: personal.unlockAccount(“0x23b30deee3257a6ecee5d3c6b84a1303227d0ec6”, “password”, 60)
RPC: curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” — data ‘{“id”:”1", “method”: “personal_unlockAccount”, “params”: [“0x23b30deee3257a6ecee5d3c6b84a1303227d0ec6”, “password”, 60]}’ 0.0.0.0:18004
In order to send coins, input the information below. You must replace the information within the brackets with your own address to and from, as well as change value
Console: var tx = {
from: “0x23b30deee3257a6ecee5d3c6b84a1303227d0ec6”,
to: “0x918e1fdb477bb094a18ee466e3df95472b051d5c”,
value: 0x64 }
personal.sendTransaction(tx, “password”)
RPC: curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” — data ‘{“method”: “cph_sendTransaction”, “params”: [{ “from”: “0xe4de3f885bec248b3c02ef006d4c6520290a9b65”, “to”:”0x918e1fdb477bb094a18ee466e3df95472b051d5c”, “gas”: “0x76c0”, “gasPrice”: “0x9184e72a000”, “value”: “0xDE0B6B3A7640000” }], “id”:”1"}’ 0.0.0.0:18004
In order to start the miner, input the information below. You must replace the information within the brackets with your own address and password that you generated:
Console: miner.start(1,”0x23b30deee3257a6ecee5d3c6b84a1303227d0ec6", “password”)
RPC: curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” — data ‘{“id”:”1", “method”: “miner_start”, “params”: [1,”0x23b30deee3257a6ecee5d3c6b84a1303227d0ec6", “password”]}’ 0.0.0.0:18004
In order to check the miner status, input:
Console: miner.status()
RPC: curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” — data ‘{“id”:”1", “method”: “miner_status”}’ 0.0.0.0:18004
In order to stop the minder, input:
Console: miner.stop()
RPC: curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” — data ‘{“id”:”1", “method”: “miner_stop”}’ 0.0.0.0:18004
