Usage

To start mining you need to run kaspad and have an address to send the rewards to. There's a guide here on how to run a full node and how to generate addresses: https://github.com/kaspanet/docs/blob/main/Getting%20Started/Full%20Node%20Installation.md

Help: ``` kaspa-miner 0.2.1 A Kaspa high performance CPU miner

USAGE: kaspa-miner [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] --mining-address

FLAGS: -d, --debug Enable debug logging level -h, --help Prints help information --mine-when-not-synced Mine even when kaspad says it is not synced, only useful when passing --allow-submit- block-when-not-synced to kaspad [default: false] --testnet Use testnet instead of mainnet [default: false] -V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS: --devfund Mine a percentage of the blocks to the Kaspa devfund [default: Off] --devfund-percent The percentage of blocks to send to the devfund [default: 1] -s, --kaspad-address The IP of the kaspad instance [default: 127.0.0.1] -a, --mining-address The Kaspa address for the miner reward -t, --threads Amount of miner threads to launch [default: number of logical cpus] -p, --port Kaspad port [default: Mainnet = 16111, Testnet = 16211] ```

To start mining you just need to run the following:

./kaspa-miner --mining-address kaspa:XXXXX

This will run the miner on all the available CPU cores.

Devfund

NOTE: This feature is off by default
The devfund is a fund managed by the Kaspa community in order to fund Kaspa development
A miner that wants to mine a percentage into the dev-fund can pass the following flags:
kaspa-miner --mining-address= XXX --devfund=kaspa:precqv0krj3r6uyyfa36ga7s0u9jct0v4wg8ctsfde2gkrsgwgw8jgxfzfc98
and can pass --devfund-precent=XX.YY to mine only XX.YY% of the blocks into the devfund (passing --devfund without specifying a percent will default to 1%)
