PoWERC20 Mining Tool
Overview
This Go project is a fully-functional tool for participating in Ethereum's PoWERC20 mining process. It provides a practical implementation for connecting to the Ethereum blockchain, generating nonces, and submitting transactions once a valid nonce is found. This tool is ideal for those looking to engage in Ethereum mining or understand the underlying mechanics in a real-world scenario.
Features
- Mining Functionality: Generates nonces and compares the resulting hash against a target, mimicking the actual mining process in Ethereum.
- Parallel Mining Workers: Utilizes Go's concurrency capabilities to deploy multiple mining workers, increasing the chance of finding a valid nonce.
- Smart Contract Interaction: Retrieves the current mining challenge and difficulty from a specified Ethereum smart contract.
- Nonce Submission and Transaction Handling: Submits the mining solution to the Ethereum network and handles the transaction process once a valid nonce is discovered.
Installation and Setup
- Install Go: Ensure Go 1.21.x is installed on your system.
- Clone the Repository: Download this repository to your local machine.
- Dependency Installation: Run
go get
to install the necessary dependencies. - Build the Project:
- Navigate to the project directory.
- Run
go build -o Powerc20Worker
to build the executable.
Usage
Configuration:
- Customize your Ethereum private key and the contract address in the
init()
function. - Adjust the number of mining workers as needed.
- Customize your Ethereum private key and the contract address in the
Running the Tool:
- Launch the tool by executing
./Powerc20Worker
in your terminal. - You can use optional flags for specific configurations, for example:
./Powerc20Worker -privateKey YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY -contractAddress CONTRACT_ADDRESS -workerCount NUMBER_OF_WORKERS
.
- Launch the tool by executing
