BEAM Solo Mining Guide

• Adapted from Raskul's guide
• With help from Freshminer (sunpool.top)

Installation

• From BEAM Downloads download the following
  • beam-wallet-cli
  • beam-node
• Extract downloads into a folder called beam-mining

Setup

• Create SSL certificate & key in beam-mining directory
  • openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -keyout stratum.key -x509 -days 365 -out stratum.crt
• Create a file called stratum.api.keys and add a alphanumeric string
  • Example: Zmohq90bfgMvLB4gjL9NS5PeAJ7CReXO3G7aZ0aW
  • You can add 1 string per line. These are used at the user in your mining client
• Edit beam-wallet.cfg file removing the # before pass and node_addr
  • pass=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890
  • node_addr=127.0.0.1:10000
  • Leave the rest as is
• Initialize wallet by running this command in a terminal
  • ./beam-wallet init
  • Save the passphrase and address before continuing
• Export miner key by running this command in a terminal
  • ./beam-wallet export_miner_key --subkey=1
  • Take the key and put in the beam-node.cfg file on the key_mine= line
• Export owner key by running this command in a terminal
  • ./beam-wallet export_owner_key
  • Take the key and put in the beam-node.cfg file on the key_owner= line
• Get the pass in beam-wallet.cfg and add it to the pass= line in beam-node.cfg
• Add these entries to beam-node.cfg
  • port=10000
  • log_level=verbose
  • file_log_level=verbose
  • peer=eu-node01.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,eu-node02.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,eu-node03.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,eu-node04.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,us-node01.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,us-node02.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,us-node03.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,us-node04.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,ap-node01.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,ap-node02.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,ap-node03.mainnet.beam.mw:8100,ap-node04.mainnet.beam.mw:8100
  • stratum_port=3333
    • Make sure your firewall is allowing connections to this port if mining externally
  • stratum_secrets_path=.
• Start the node with the following command
  • ./beam-node
  • Leave this terminal open to keep the node running
• Wait for node to fully synchronize
• Open another terminal window in beam-mining directory and run the command
  • ./beam-wallet listen
  • Leave this terminal open to keep the wallet listening
• Point your miner at the ip address of this device
