Lotus GPU Miner

The Lotus GPU miner is a simple non-pool miner for the Lotus network. It uses OpenCL to mine Lotus blocks on your GPU.

Configuration

Configuration may be specified on the command line or via a toml file. The configuration file location by default is: ~/.lotus-miner/config.toml

The configuration file looks like the following:

mine_to_address = "bchtest:qqegajxrzx9juvg9fuu4cqvndz3u2yz6eg6jfudlvh"
rpc_url = "http://127.0.0.1:10605"
rpc_poll_interval = 3
rpc_user = "lotus"
rpc_password = "lotus"
gpu_index = 0
kernel_size = 23

See lotus-miner --help for a description of the parameters.
