Scala GUI Miner

The Scala GUI miner is a beautiful, easy to use, interface for mining Scala. It is aimed at getting people that have never mined Scala into the crypto game by making it really simple to get started.

We currently support one very popular miner backend:

1. xlarig

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.

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.
