helium-miner

+++++ NOTE !!! +++++ This miner will not mine HNT for you. Actual mining requires hardware keys to be available on your gateway that are only available on actual helium miner gateway hardware ! Without such hardware it will run, but not generate HNT.

If you are running on an actual HNT Gateway, please edit the {key, ...} entry in /var/snap/helium-miner/common/config/sys.config to make it talk to the i2c slot holding the key.

Miner for the helium blockchain. This snap requires multiple interfaces to be connected before the miner daemon can start.

 snap connect helium-miner:log-observe
 snap connect helium-miner:hardware-observe
 snap connect helium-miner:network-control

After connecting these interfaces the miner daemon will automatically start. All variable data and log files are stored under /var/snap/helium-miner/common

If you run this snap on an officially approved helium hotspot, you can allow access to an i2c attached key via

 snap connect helium-miner:i2c pi:i2c-1

To talk directly to the miner daemon you can use the shipped helium-miner command like below.
