Ore
===

* * *

🫡 **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.

Ore - ⛏ Mining quick setup guide
================================

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

### **Prerequisites**

1.  **Git:** Ensure Git is installed. You can check by running `git --version` in your terminal. If it's not installed, follow [this guide](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) 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](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) and [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html).
    

### **Step-by-Step Guide**

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`

5.  **Clone the Repository**: Open your terminal and run:
    

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

6.  **Clone the repository**: Open your terminal and run:
    
    `git clone <https://github.com/HardhatChad/ore-cli.git> cd ore-cli`
    
7.  **Build the project**: In the project directory, run:
    
    `cargo build --release`
    
8.  **Navigate to the** `ore` directory:
    
    `cd ore`
    
9.  **Pull the latest changes from the Git repository:**
    
    `git pull`
    
10.  **Switch to the** `hardhat/v2` branch:
    
    `git checkout hardhat/v2`
    
11.  **Navigate to the** `ore-cli` directory:
    
    `cd ../ore-cli`
    
12.  **Pull the latest changes from the Git repository:**
    
    `git pull`
    
13.  **Switch to the** `hardhat/v2` branch:
    
    `git checkout hardhat/v2`
    
14.  **Navigate to the** `drillx` directory:
    
    `cd ../drillx`
    
15.  **Pull the latest changes from the Git repository:**
    
    `git pull`
    
16.  **Navigate back to the** `ore-cli` directory:
    
    `cd ../ore-cli`
    
17.  **Build the project in release mode using Cargo:**
    
    `cargo build --release`
    
18.  **Acquire devnet SOL**
    

`solana config set --url d solana airdrop 1`

19.  **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`
    

### **Additional Notes**

*   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.
