PoW mining



What is PoW

It is an abbreviation of Proof of Work.
Many users participate and carry out calculations using computers to connect blocks on VIPS network, such as trading information of VIPSTARCOIN.
This work is called mining, and the person who finds the value that meets condition earliest is rewarded. VIPSTARCOIN PoW reward is 100 VIPS.

There are two types of mining in VIPS: solo mining and pool mining.

Solo mining:
We recommend to use a “Mining Helper” when you execution solo mining with nVDIA GPU.
The method of performing mining using the Mining Helper is described on this page.

Pool mining:
As of June 2019, there is only one mining pool. Mining with nVDIA / AMD GPU is possible.
If you want to do pool mining, jump from the link below and follow the instructions.

How to run solo mining


It is not reccomanded CPU mining because it is very inefficient

Create conf file


VIPSTARCOIN can easily perform PoW mining using the application called Maining Helper distributed on the official page.
To prepare for that, you need to create a conf file in the following location. For Windows, it describes how to easily access the PC wallet page.

Windows: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\VIPSTARCOIN\VIPSTARCOIN.conf
Mac: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/VIPSTARCOIN/VIPSTARCOIN.conf

Please describe the contents of conf file according to the figure bellow.

server=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=31916
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass




Download Mining Helper

You can download Mining Helper from the official site.
(MINING TOOL→ Mining Helper)

https://www.vipstarcoin.jp/#tool

After downloading, unzip the zip file and copy MiningHelper64.exe to the same location as VIPSTARCOIN-cli.exe.

Note:
If your OS is 32bit, please copy MiningHelper32.exe.
If Mining Helper64 not operate correctory, you can use 32bit version with 64bit OS



Download ccminer (For nVDIA GPU mining)

Download only if mining on a Nvidia GPU
(MINING TOOL → ccminer)
Note: ccminer does not support AMD GPUs

https://www.vipstarcoin.jp/#tool

After downloading, please unzip the zip file.
Copy ccminer-x64.exe to the same location as MiningHelper.
(If your OS is 32bit, please copy ccminer.exe in the 32bit folder.)



Mining preparation

You need to start the wallet first and then start the Maining Helper.
The wallet needs to be synchronized to the blockchain network.
Next, enter your VIPS receiving address in “Wallet Address” field of Mining Helper. This information can be obtained from the PC wallet 'Receive' section.




CPU mining


Check the CPU radio button on the top of the MiningHelpe screen, and adjust the number on the right side of it.
This determines the number of CPU threads used by the Mining Helper.
(The number of simultaneously activated threads, 1 to 4 is appropriate)
Press the “Start” button to start mining.



If the following is displayed in the Mining Helper's “LOG” column, it is working properly.
If mining is successful, it will be displayed in the “Found” column.

GPU mining 

Check the radio button “GPU” of Mining Helper and press the start button.
A warning will be issued from the Operating system, press “Yes” to start mining.




If the following is displayed in the Mining Helper's “LOG” column, it is working properly.
If mining is successful, it will be displayed in the “Found” column.
