pkt.md

1. build pktd (to get pktwallet and pktctl)

https://docs.pkt.cash/en/latest/pktd/#installation

2. run the wallet

Note, this will ask you questions the first time. Input wallet passphrase and write down mnemonic for wallet recovery.

./pktd/bin/pktwallet

3. create new wallet (to get an address to pass into the miner)

./pktd/bin/pktctl wallet --getnewaddress

Other useful wallet commands:

./pktd/bin/pktctl --wallet getbalance
./pktd/bin/pktctl --wallet getaddressbalances

Unlocking wallet (needed when sending and folding coins). The following command will unlock the wallet for 60 seconds

./pktd/bin/pktctl --wallet walletpassphrase YOURPASSWORD 60

Folding coins (minimizing outputs when there are many transactions):

./pktd/bin/pktctl --wallet sendfrom YOURADDRESS 0 '["YOURADDRESS"]'

4. build the miner (rust)

https://docs.pkt.cash/en/latest/mining/

NOTE Use the develop branch of the miner before doing cargo build --release. This is needed to be able to mine on multiple pools at the same time

5. run the miner

./packetcrypt_rs/target/release/packetcrypt ann -p YOURADDRESS pool1url pool2url ... poolnurl

6. different pools
