Getting Started

AITBC mining combines Proof of Authority and Proof of Stake, offering multiple ways to participate and earn rewards.

Mining Options

  • Authority Mining: Become a trusted authority node (invitation only)
  • Stake Mining: Stake AITBC tokens and earn rewards
  • GPU Mining: ✅ OPERATIONAL - Provide compute power for AI/ML workloads via Ollama (RTX 4060 Ti tested)
  • Hybrid Mining: Combine staking with compute provision

Requirements

Minimum Stake

10,000 AITBC tokens

CPU

4+ cores (8+ recommended for GPU mining)

RAM

8GB minimum (16GB+ for GPU mining)

Storage

100GB SSD (500GB+ for full node)

Network

Stable broadband (100Mbps+)

GPU (Optional)

✅ Tested: NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (16GB)

Quick Start

1. Download & Install

Get the AITBC mining software for your platform

# Linux/macOS
curl -O https://gitea.bubuit.net/oib/aitbc/releases/download/latest/aitbc-miner-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf aitbc-miner-linux-amd64.tar.gz
cd aitbc-miner

# Windows
# Download from https://gitea.bubuit.net/oib/aitbc/releases

2. Configure Your Node

Set up your mining configuration

# Create configuration
./aitbc-miner init

# Edit config file
nano ~/.aitbc/miner/config.toml

3. Start Mining

# Start the miner
./aitbc-miner start

# Check status
./aitbc-miner status

# View logs
./aitbc-miner logs

Configuration

Basic Configuration

Edit ~/.aitbc/miner/config.toml:

# Network settings
[network]
rpc_url = "https://aitbc.bubuit.net"
ws_url = "wss://aitbc.bubuit.net/ws"

# Mining settings
[mining]
stake_amount = 10000
compute_enabled = true
gpu_devices = [0]  # GPU indices to use

# Wallet settings
[wallet]
address = "your-wallet-address"
private_key = "your-private-key"

# Performance settings
[performance]
max_concurrent_jobs = 2
memory_limit = "8GB"

GPU Configuration

# GPU mining settings
[gpu]
enabled = true
devices = [0]  # Use first GPU
memory_fraction = 0.8  # Use 80% of GPU memory
models = ["llama3.2", "mistral", "deepseek"]  # Supported models

Mining Operations

Stake Mining

  • Stake your AITBC tokens to participate in consensus
  • Earn rewards from transaction fees
  • No hardware requirements beyond basic node
  • Rewards proportional to stake amount

GPU Mining

  • Provide AI/ML compute power to the network
  • Process inference jobs and earn AITBC
  • Supports 13+ Ollama models
  • Earnings: 0.02 AITBC per GPU second

Monitoring

# Real-time monitoring
./aitbc-miner monitor

# Check earnings
./aitbc-miner earnings

# Performance metrics
./aitbc-miner metrics

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

GPU not detected? Ensure NVIDIA drivers are installed and CUDA is available.
  1. Connection Issues
    • Check internet connectivity
    • Verify RPC endpoint is accessible
    • Check firewall settings
  2. Low Performance
    • Reduce concurrent jobs
    • Check GPU memory usage
    • Monitor system resources
  3. Sync Issues
    • Wait for initial sync to complete
    • Check blockchain status
    • Restart miner if needed

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I earn mining AITBC?

Earnings vary based on: - Stake amount (for stake mining) - GPU performance and availability (for GPU mining) - Network demand and transaction volume - Current reward rates: 0.02 AITBC/GPU second

What are the minimum requirements?

Basic stake mining requires: - 10,000 AITBC tokens minimum stake - Stable internet connection - Basic computer (4GB RAM, dual-core CPU) GPU mining requires: - NVIDIA GPU with 8GB+ VRAM - 16GB+ RAM recommended - Stable high-speed internet

Is mining profitable?

Profitability depends on: - AITBC token value - Electricity costs (for GPU mining) - Network activity - Your stake amount or GPU capabilities

How do I become an authority node?

Authority nodes require invitation based on community contribution, technical expertise, and stake amount. Apply through the community forum.
