Get started with Duino-Coin

 Get started with Duino-Coin

We've prepared an interactive tool to make sure anyone can easily start mining on their device. Get yourself a cup of coffee and start your adventure with our coin! 

Delicious choice!

We assume you have already installed a system on it (we recommend Raspbian) and connected it to the internet, if not - please see this tutorial first.


1  First up, update your packages - copy & paste these commands (and execute them by clicking the enter key), one by one: 
sudo apt update and then 
sudo apt upgrade -y

Next, install python and git

sudo apt install python3 python3-dev git

This process can take a while, especially when you're on a fresh system.



2  Download the source code of Duino-Coin. Our repository contains all programs and codes you're likely to use while discovering Duino. If you prefer, you can also download files from our GitHub.

To download the latest source you can use the following command:
git clone https://github.com/revoxhere/duino-coin

 When you'll want to update your softwares (e.g. when a new release comes out) you can use the following command in the duino-coin directory: git pull


4  Navigate into the folder you extracted the release to with cd duino-coin and launch the  PC_Miner.py by typing
python3 PC_Miner.py into your terminal.

At first, the miner will (attempt to) automatically install required dependencies via pip. If it fails, you'll need to do it manually using the command it will provide.
From this point the PC Miner should tell you all you need to know. Answer the questions to complete the configuration phase - miner will remember the settings for the future.

 If you want to reset the configuration in the future, simply delete the Settings.cfg file inside the Duino-Coin PC Miner 3.3 folder.

Working miner will report some mining statistics with each solved job (share) - you get rewarded for each accepted one that contributes to the Duino network.
Number of accepted/rejected shares and the percentage of correct ones (100% in the image) is displayed after the Accepted text.

 The number in seconds tells how much time it took to solve that share - the lower, the better.
 Prefixed value in H/s tells the minings speed - the higher the hashrate, the better.
 Diff number is the mining difficulty - the higher it is, the harder it's to mine; it's automatically adjusted by the Kolka system depending on the device you're using.
 Value in milliseconds is the network latency - if it's too high, your earnings may be negatively impacted.


You can inspect your miner remotely in the wallet. It should display your miner in the Your miners section. To stop mining - simply close the terminal window.

📞 THE DUINO MINI MINERThe Duino-Coin Mini Miner has been released in alpha testing stage!

👉 What is it? It's a bare-bones webminer that uses only older technology (e.g. HTML 4.0) and is designed to run on limited devices such as old mobile phones! More information below.

👉 Can it run on my Nokia? possibly yes! I'm successfully mining with a Nokia Lumia 610 and a Samsung GT-S3350 (released in 2010!)
👉 How to start? get an internet connection and navigate to https://server.duinocoin.com/miniminer.html (HTTPS) or http://51.15.127.80/miniminer.html (HTTP) on your phone!
The project will be posted on GitHub so you guys can improve it too.
