# Duino Coin - PHP Miner

This is a proof of concept.

This miner is provided as is, with no guarantee it will work as intended for you.

I don't intend to actively maintain this miner.

I'm also not responsible for how you use it.

## Why did you do it?

I only made this to have some fun and to prove that [PHP 8 is indeed faster than python](https://scand.com/company/blog/php-vs-python/#:~:text=Some%20years%20ago%2C%20Python%20was,speed%20may%20greatly%20improve%20performance.).

# Requirements

Either Docker (v20) or PHP 8 & Composer installed locally.

# How to use

First, add your username into the configuration section in the `miner.php` file.

  

### If you use docker

Run composer install and then run the miner:

```bash

$ docker run --rm --interactive --tty \

  --volume $PWD:/app \

  composer install

  

$ docker compose up

```

### If you have PHP 8 installed

Install dependencies with composer:

`$ composer install`  

Run the miner:

`$ php miner.php`

# Multi-thread improvements

If you have a good computer and want to improve the performance you can run multiple workers/miners at once.

For this you have to be using docker.

Simply run:  

`$ docker compose up --scale miner=32`  

Where the number "32" is the amount of workers you will be running.

> Keep in mind that the maximum amount of allowed workers is 50.

> I'm not responsible for any bad usage of this that might get you banned from the Duino pool.

# Future improvements

There are MANY possibilities of improvements to have a higher hashrate, however, due to the nature of DuinoCoin and its mission to allow everyone to mine, I don't intend to seek such improvements in this lib.
