How to mine Astrix
In this post I will pay attention to Astrix blockchain, and will provide tips for those who want to mine it.
About Astrix blockchain
Basically the source-code of Astrix forked from KASPA, whith only difference in the hashing algorithm. Astrix is using the algorithm Astrixhash. Beside this in the roadmap of Astrix are also Smart Contracts, and intergration with other blockchains. The Astrix native token is AIX, and is already supported by many exchanges.
The monetary policy of Astrix closely resembles the Kaspa model.Emission schedule
There are two phases:
- Pre-deflationary phase: During the first 6 Months, the reward for block mining is 50 AIX. One block per second is created.
- Deflationary phase (current): Each month, the reward decreases by a factor of (1/1.4)^(1/12) This calculation is based on an initial block reward of 44 AIX
Mining Astrix
Astrix is using a Astrixhash algorithm.
If you do not have an Astrix Wallet, you should obtain one. The easiest way is to create a web wallet at wallet.astrix-network.comAstrix Wallet
Mobile wallet app is not yet available.
Astrix works best for GPU mining.
Many mining applications supports Astrixhash. Here are some of them.
| Miner | Source | Dev Fee | Hadrware | OS | Download |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SRBMiner | closed source | 1.00% | NVIDIA, AMD | Windows/Linix | SRBMiner |
| Pool | Hardware | Stratum Difficulty | Pool URL |
|---|---|---|---|
| PPS | Any | Auto | http://nushypool.com:40014 |
| Solo | Any | Auto | http://nushypool.com:45014 |
Once you start mining, you can setup your custom difficulty for each worker using NushyBot
To start mining
If your Windows suggest that the miners are "potentially unwanted" software, you may need to select "Allow on device" option in Windows Security settings.
Find the nearest server to your geographical area, and ping it. If the ping is done for less than 100ms, you can consider this server for mining.
$ ping nushypool.comRun the miner. The command line depends from you miner, and your OS. For example to start mining with NBMiner, the run command is:
$ ./SRBMiner-MULTI --disable-cpu --enable-gpu --algorithm astrixhash --pool stratum+tcp://nushypool.com:40014 --wallet [address].[workername]You can quickly configure your command in our AIX Pool Page and tap "Start Mining" button.
Good luck!
