Mining Setup For TESTNET

1) The document provides instructions for setting up mining on the Bitcoin Rhodium testnet, including getting a testnet wallet, configuring different CPU and GPU miners, and reporting any issues found during testing. 2) Users are asked to get a testnet wallet at testnet.bitcoinrh.org, then configure their miner with the wallet address and connect it to the testnet pool at tpool.bitcoinrh.org. 3) The goal of the testnet is to stress test the network and get feedback for improvements before mainnet launch. Users are asked to test mining functionality and sending transactions, and report any issues on the Discord channel #testnet.

Mining Setup For TESTNET

In this limited release, we will start with mining testing, to stress-test the network
and to get feedback for improvement.

There are currently a couple of steps to setting up mining:


1. Get a testnet wallet,
2. Prepare your miner with a payment address.

Getting a testnet wallet


Getting a new wallet is similar to getting a wallet at wallet.bitcoinrh.org.
1. Go to the https://testnet.bitcoinrh.org.
2. Click on "Sign Up".
3. Create an account, with your username, password and
secure question.
4. Click on "Sign Up"
5. Sign in and click "Create Wallet"
6. Add a transaction password.
7. Copy the seed somewhere safe. Copy it to confirm.
8. Grab an address for the mining step.

Set up your miner


Any miner that supports X13 is sufficient for this test. We encourage testing with
a diversity of miners. However, we have a few examples below of miners that we
have used for our testing purposes.

For any miner, configure your miner based on this manual:

http://tpool.bitcoinrh.org:8888/connect.html
CPUMiner-Multi

This miner is good enough for testing purposes:


https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi. This was tested with a custom build
on Ubuntu 18.04. Below is a sample configuration with CPU Miner, which is
simple for testing purposes.

{
"api-bind" : "127.0.0.1:4048",
"url" :
"stratum+tcp://tpool.bitcoinrh.org:3061",
"user" : "<Your BTR Address>",
"pass" : "x",
"algo" : "x13",
"threads" : 1,
"cpu-priority" : 5,
"cpu-affinity" : 1,
"benchmark" : false,
"debug" : true,
"protocol": true,
"show-diff": true,
"quiet" : false
}

3. Start your miner, for example, with CPUMiner:

cpuminer -c cpuminer.json

SGMiner (ATI GPU)


SGMiner is a GPU-based miner :

https://github.com/nicehash/sgminer/releases. The configuration below was


tested on Windows.
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
cd C:\Software\sgminer-5.6.1-nicehash-51-windowsamd64
sgminer.exe --gpu-platform 1 --algorithm x13mod
-url stratum+tcp://tpool.bitcoinrh.org:3061--
pool-user <Your BTR Address> --
userpass <Your BTR Address>:x --
auto-fan --temp-target 70 --temp-overheat 82 --
temp-cutoff 85 --gpu-fan 65-85 --log-file log.txt
--no-adl --no-extranonce -P –T
CCMiner (NVIDIA GPU)
CCMiner is a GPU-based miner (NVIDIA):

ccminer-x64.exe -a x13 -o stratum+tcp://tpool.bitcoinrh.org:3061 -O <Your BTR


Address>:without -D --show-diff

What we need to test in this alpha TESTNET


1) Mining functionality
2) Sending transactions in wallet

Please report all to Discord channel #testnet


(you can contact other testers and devs at same place)
