QMiner

Optimised CPU miner for efficient deployment on every device.

• KDB+ is lightweight, cross-platform, independent and the most powerful CPU parallel processing database for mass real-time co-ordinaton.

Why CPU ? - CPU miners are more energy efficient and mass accessible.

Why co-ordinate ? - Instead of an exponentially increasing hash power competition, we can have an energy efficient co-ordinated effort. i.e. less waste.

What is the incentive ? - Positive incentive feedback structures are important for sustainability and popularity. Here is my proposed structure:

1 % - Who-ever finds the solution for the current block first.

39 % - Split proportionally to the resources dedicated to mining the current block.

30 % - Universal income, claimable daily by low income families accross the planet.

30 % - Earth care trust, claimable by environmental revival projects.

Clients

Prerequisites:

• KDB+ (https://kx.com/connect-with-us/download/)
• C compiler - compatible with your KDB version

Setup:

Compile C sha2 and sha2btc libraries (examples)

• Windows dll compilation using VS: cl /LD /DKXVER=3 sha2.c sha2.def q.lib
• Linux so compilation using gcc: gcc -m32 -D KXVER=3 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-parentheses -g -O2 -shared -fPIC -o sha2btc.so sha2btc.c
• Mac so compilation using gcc: gcc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup sha2btc.c -o sha2btc.so

Choose a trusted server for your-server-ip in BTC-miner-opt4.q. Currently coded as the author's server ip. I will add a list as more become available.

Load a q instance with some slaves in the same folder as this repo e.g. q -s 8

Start the q miner

\l BTC-miner-opt4.q

Servers

In addition to the same setup as the clients, servers require:

• Bitcoin full node (https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node)

Setup:

Edit rpc-username, rpc-password (and your-public-key-hash or leave as the author address) in BTC-miner-updates4.q

Start bitcoin node and wait for sync.

Load a q instance with some slaves e.g. q -s 4

Start the q server interface

\l BTC-miner-updates4.q
