Helpful Information

The GUI Wallet Guide has useful instructions for using the wallet's features. If you successfully mine or stake you will need to shield your Pow/PoS output once they unlock. Transferring from the private z-address is also documented

Mining With the Verus enhanced Agama Wallet

The Verus enhanced Agama wallet can be downloaded from the veruscoin.io web site. For Linux installs extract the contents of the .tar.gz (double click in the UI, or tar -xzf the file in bash) and find the Agama file, either double clicking on that from the UI, or run it from bash via ./Agama from it's directory.

For Windows, unzip the .zip file and run the Agama.exe program. On a Mac, download and then click on the .dmg file, and then on the Agama icon to launch Agama.

Mining State

Clicking on the Mining button in the wallet shows you the mining state. Allows you to easily mine using a simple GUI. Once you have loaded the and selected the VRSC coin, the wallet GUI will display how many threads are mining. If it shows 0 then you are only staking for PoS (if you have coins), not mining for PoW.

Start Mining

Hit the Mining button and you should see staking enabled, mining with 0 threads. Stop the staking, increase the threads to the number of cores (or threads if you have dual threaded cores), and start mining again. At that point your wallet will be trying to get blocks by both PoW and (if you have unlocked coins) by PoS.

Mining With the verus-cli

If you download the CLI option for your OS (Linux, Mac or Windows) from the VerusCoin,io web site you can mine using the command line tools and some simple wrappers to get the parameters straight.

Load the Daemon

Once you download and tar -czf the verus-cli package you can run ./verusd to load the daemon.

Mining State

You can check your current mining state by running ./verus getmininginfo

Start Mining

You can begin mining using a command: ./verus setgenerate true 4 replacing the 4 with your number of threads if you have dual threaded cores or cores otherwise.

If you have unlocked coins you will stake.
