🫡 How it works

The primary innovation of Ore is to offer non-exclusive mining rewards. This means one miner finding a valid solution does not prevent another miner from finding one as well. Rather than setting up every miner in a winner-take-all competition against one another, Ore gives each miner a personalized computational challenge. As long as a miner provides a valid solution to their own individual challenge, the protocol guarantees they will earn a piece of the supply. Since no miner can be censored from the network and valid solutions are non-exclusive, starvation is avoided.

⛏ Supply

Ore is designed to protect holders from runaway supply inflation. Regardless of how many miners are active in the world, supply growth is strictly bounded to a rate of 0 ≤ R ≤ 2 ORE/min. In other words, linear. The mining reward rate – amount paid out to miners per valid solution – is dynamically adjusted every 60 seconds to maintain an average supply growth of 1 ORE/min. This level was chosen for its straightforward simplicity, scale agnosticism, and for striking a balance between the extremes of exponential inflation on one hand and stagnant deflation on the other.

*This guide assumes you're using a Unix-like operating system (e.g., Linux, macOS) with a terminal.

1. Git: Ensure Git is installed. You can check by running git --version in your terminal. If it's not installed, follow this guide to install Git.

2. Rust and Cargo: Ensure Rust and Cargo are installed. You can check by running rustc --version and cargo --version. If they're not installed, follow this guide to install Rust and Cargo.

1. Open your terminal.

2. Clone the Repository: Open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

   git clone <https://github.com/HardhatChad/ore.git>

3. Install dependencies: Make sure you have Rust installed.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf <https://sh.rustup.rs> | sh

1. Clone the Repository: Open your terminal and run:

git clone <https://github.com/HardhatChad/drillx.git>

1. Clone the repository: Open your terminal and run:

   git clone <https://github.com/HardhatChad/ore-cli.git> cd ore-cli

2. Build the project: In the project directory, run:

   cargo build --release

3. Navigate to the ore directory:

   cd ore

4. Pull the latest changes from the Git repository:

   git pull

5. Switch to the hardhat/v2 branch:

   git checkout hardhat/v2

6. Navigate to the ore-cli directory:

   cd ../ore-cli

7. Pull the latest changes from the Git repository:

   git pull

8. Switch to the hardhat/v2 branch:

   git checkout hardhat/v2

9. Navigate to the drillx directory:

solana config set --url d solana airdrop 1

1. Run the ore executable with the specified parameters:

   ./target/release/ore --rpc <https://api.devnet.solana.com/> --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json mine --buffer-time 2 --threads 4

• Ensure you have the necessary permissions to read the keypair file at ~/.config/solana/id.json.

• If any command fails, check the output for error messages and ensure all prerequisites are correctly installed and configured.

• You might need to install additional dependencies for the project. Check the project's documentation or README file for more details.
