Launching the Miner From Source

This file is the Setup to build from src.

For those non-Go programmers, the proper setup(folder structure) for the project is:

$HOME/
---bin 
---pkg 
---src 
   | 
   ---github.com 
      | 
      ---tellor-io 
         |
         ---TellorMiner

Instructions

Open a terminal and cd into tellor-io

Set GOPATH to $HOME/<whatever>
Set GOBIN to $HOME/<whatever>/bin 

cd into $HOME/<whatever>/src/github.com/tellor-io/
run "git clone https://github.com/tellor-io/TellorMiner"  // this will create the folder TellorMiner
run "go get -d ./TellorMiner"

Now you're ready to build/test

When building/testing:

cd src/github.com/tellor-io/TellorMiner go test ./<package-to-test> -config=<path to config> e.g. go test -v ./tracker

or to run

go run ./main.go -config=./config.json -psrPath=./psr.json

and it will test from there.

Now edit the config.json file with your private key, public key, and node_url (the rest are advanced options)

The privateKey, publicKey, and nodeUrl all are dummies. If you want to run it on localhost, you'll need to deploy a Tellor Contract. Docmumentation on that can be found here: https://github.com/tellor-io/TellorCore

But if you just want to try it rinkeby, use an infura id and kick it off. Note, you'll need tokens from us to stake as a Miner (on mainnet or Rinkeby). For more info, shoot us email at info@tellor.io or join our discord

For running the file:

./runMain.sh -miner -dataServer

Note it will kick off both the miner and the database

To transfer tributes

go run ./main.go -transfer -to=<0x...toaddress....> -amount=<number of tributes> -config=./config.json -psrPath=./psr2.json -logConfig=./loggingConfig.json

e.g. go run ./main.go -transfer -to=0x2f51c4bf6b66634187214a695be6cdd344d4e9d1 -amount=100 -config=./config.json -psrPath=./psr2.json -logConfig=./loggingConfig.json

To deposit your stake initially (assuming you have 1000 Tributes)

go run ./main.go -deposit -config=./config.json -psrPath=./psr2.json -logConfig=./loggingConfig.json
