Become a miner
Earn crypto
A miner is a software application that works for a node of a Hotmoka blockchain based on Mokamint and contributes to the creation of new blocks, in exchange of crypto that you can later use to fuel your blockchain applications. Differently from the traditional mining algorithm of Bitcoin, that requires expensive CPU operations to create the next block, mining for Mokamint is based on proof of space: a chunk of disk space is preallocated in order to win the right to create the next block: the larger, the better. Mokamint mining is so lightweight that you won’t notice that it is running and you can even mine on a mobile phone.
Mine on a desktop computer
You just need a computer connected to internet and docker. Create the key that identifies you as a miner, preallocate the space for mining and start mining. You can use your computer for any other activity while it is mining. This approach allows you to allocate a larger disk space than with a mobile phone. Follow the instructions on DockerHub.
Mine on a mobile phone or tablet
Leverage the continuous network connection of your phone for mining and earn crypto on the go. The Mokaminter Android app will create the key that identifies you as a miner and preallocate the disk space used for mining. Your phone will mine wherever you are and whatever you are doing and allows you to check earnings in real time. This approach issimpler but has a limited disk space for mining. Install Mokaminter from Google Play.
