Thank you for your interest in our cryptocurrency. BTCgreen runs on the PoST network (Proof of Space and Time). This means you can use repurposed hard drives and almost any type of PC to farm BTCgreen.
The PoST algorithm is different from the POW (Proof of Work) algorithm that uses a great deal of electricity and expensive equipment (GPU, Asic’s, etc.) to mine.
To get started you will need to acquire a usable computer and some hard drives. The more drive space the better. After you have successfully installed BTCgreen you will need to create plot files to store on your hard drives. The plot files are what the farmer checks to see if you have won a reward. Plotting is done by using the plotter that is accessible from the GUI or CLI. Your plot files will be read on your hard drives by your farmer program that you have installed. This is how you will win blocks. The more plots you have the better chance you have at winning.
To install btcgreen, follow these instructions. Please make sure you choose the correct operating system. Also be aware that btcgreen currently only supports 64-bit operating systems.
Make sure you save your mnemonic as they are created on your first installation. If you want to add your own keys it can be done with
- btcgreen keys add
Creating plots can be done using the GUI or CLI, and as an alternative, we actually recommend using the Mad Max plotter. MMX can be found here. https://github.com/MMX-World/mmx-plotter
Please consider opening your router port to 9282 so others can connect to you. Doing so can also help your connectivity as well as others.
BTCgreen can be farmed on many different types of machines. You can use anything from a Raspberry Pi 4 to a decked-out server. If you are a new farmer, we would like to recommend starting with what you have available to you. This will keep your initial startup fees down, which is always a good thing.
Please download the Windows .exe from our GitHub https://github.com/BTCgreen-Network/btcgreen-blockchain/releases
Please note that because we are new during installation, you will need to choose "More Info" and "Run Anyway" to be able to complete the installation. Some anti-virus applications may see the file as a "false positive" and that is why you are being promoted with these choices. All blockchain files can be viewed, and we encourage you to do so before installation.
