Torque GUI Miner
The Torque GUI miner is a beautiful, easy to use, interface for mining Torque. It is aimed at getting people that have never mined Torque into the crypto game by making it really simple to get started.
We currently support two very popular miner backends:
- xtc-stak
- xtcrig (note: xmrig-nvidia and xmrig-amd does not support our v5 proof-of-work algorithm yet)
If you'd like to fork this miner for you own coin, please see the forking section later.
Compiling
Linux
The miner GUI is built using Electron and Go using the Astilectron app framework.
- Install Go
- Install required Go packages
go get -u github.com/asticode/go-astilectron
go get -u github.com/asticode/go-astilectron-bundler/...
go get -u github.com/asticode/go-astichartjs
go get -u github.com/asticode/go-astilectron-bootstrap
go get -u github.com/google/uuid
go get -u github.com/mitchellh/go-ps
- Clone and build the app
git clone [email protected]:contribute-torque/gui-miner.git contribute-torque/gui-miner
cd contribute-torque/gui-miner
make
NOTE: Ensure you clone the GUI miner into your working $GOPATH
If all goes well the binaries for Windows, macOS and Linux will be available in the bin
folder.
Forking
In the spirit of open source we'll be making it really simple to fork and brand the miner for your own coin. Some structural changes need to be made to simplify the process. Subscribe to issue #3 to follow the progress on this guide.
