VaneMiner

a vanitygen-based proof-of-work mining software for Snatcoin

Installation:

This software is currently only supported on Linux 64-bit and Windows 32/64-bit.

Install Node.js 8.2.1 ("Latest Features").

• For Windows
• Unix-like OSes (Linux) should use NVM
• If neither of the above, you probably already have it installed. (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NODE 7 OR HIGHER!!!!)

Usage:

Windows

Download as .zip from GitHub and extract to a folder. To install necessary libraries, double-click run-me-first.bat.

After installing libraries, you may now use the vaneminer.bat file to start mining. VaneMiner will automatically download the correct Vanitygen.exe for your Windows version.

Unix-like

Running via command line:

index.js [-g] <your snatcoin address>
Use environment variable VANITYGEN_OPTIONS to set options for Vanitygen.

Options:
  -h, --help       Show help                                           [boolean]
  -g, --gpu        Use OpenCL Vanitygen for faster mining on supported graphics
                   cards                              [boolean] [default: false]
  -p, --prefix     Prefix for Vanitygen to use (e.g. 1snat, 1snats)
                                                     [string] [default: "1snat"]
  -s, --sensitive  Make Vanitygen mine case-sentitively (e.g. mine only for
                   1SNATS, not 1Snats)                [boolean] [default: false]

VaneMiner will automatically download the correct vanitygen binary for your platform.

Contribution:

The source code is in the _coffee/ folder. index.js is compiled by CoffeeScript 2.0 with gulp. Use yarn install --dev to install gulp, etc.

Currently, I'd like VaneMiner to support extra platforms like RPi, etc. Please feel free to send pull requests with links to binaries for other architectures and update my minerExe switch statements in index.coffee to download those binaries.
