Send to Kindle Scala developed a custom CPU and ARM-friendly algorithm called Panthera which comes into action when you mine on your PC or mobile device.

In this article, we want to give you a little guidance on how to set up your CPU miner.

Miner CLI Miner Command-line interface Running the mining software To start the miner simply run the following command :

Windows xlarig.exe -o mine.scalaproject.io:3333 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x --algo panthera

You can copy/paste this command in a batch file located in the same folder as xlarig.exe. Just create a new text file, paste the command and save it as .bat instead of .txt.

To improve your hashrate, you can enable Huge Pages. To do so, you have to run the batch file with Administration rights. For some reason, Windows may try to run the .exe in C:/windows/system32, so you have to add “@setlocal enableextensions @cd /d “%~dp0” to the batch file and restart your computer.

The batch file should look like this:

@setlocal enableextensions@cd /d “%~dp0

xlarig.exe -o mine.scalaproject.io:3333 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x — algo panthera

Linux ./xlarig -o mine.scalaproject.io:3333 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x --algo panthera

MacOS ./xlarig -o mine.scalaproject.io:3333 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x --algo panthera

We recommend using a mining pool for mining since the results will be more steady than with solo mining.

The official mining pool is pool.scalaproject.io.
