# monero-powpy
Monero POW mining in Python.
Utterly pointless for profit, but useful for testing / learning purposes.
## Why?
Good question! Simply there are so many people asking on
[monero.stackexchange.com](https://monero.stackexchange.com/search?q=python+miner).
## Usage
First clone or download the repository, then install the dependencies:
```
pip install --user -r requirements.txt
```
To run the pool miner, execute:
```
python stratum-miner.py
```
To solo mine a single block, execute:
```
python solo-block.py
```
To exit, just hit `ctrl-c`.
Both miners have some simple, self-explanatory, configuration variables at the
top of each file. I have chosen sane defaults so the scripts can run as-is,
without the *requirement* to change them, but you may want to change things like
the wallet address (for checking payouts), or the pool / daemon RPC being used.
## Supporting the project
This software has **no built-in developer donation** (like *other* mining
software has), so if you use it and want to donate, XMR donations to:

```
would be very much appreciated.
