Eclipse $BITZ Mining: A Step-by-Step Guide

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up $BITZ mining on Eclipse, using your CPU (not GPU). Whether you're running this on a local machine, a VPS, or an Ubuntu instance, the steps will be the same.

Prerequisites:

• Rust: For installing and running Bitz CLI.
• Solana CLI: To interact with the Solana blockchain.
• $ETH: A minimum of 0.005 ETH (approximately $10) is required for mining.

---

1. Install Rust

To begin, you need to install Rust. Run the following command to do so:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Follow the prompts during installation. Once it's done, update your environment by running:

source $HOME/.cargo/env

---

2. Install Solana CLI

Next, install the Solana CLI by running this command:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://solana-install.solana.workers.dev | bash

---

3. Create a Wallet (Keypair)

Now, create a new Solana wallet by running:

solana-keygen new

You'll be asked to set a passphrase for better security (or you can skip by pressing enter).

This will generate a new keypair at the default path: ~/.config/solana/id.json.

Make sure to save your public key and mnemonic (the secret phrase shown after creation) as they will be crucial for accessing your wallet.

4. Install Bitz CLI

Now that Rust is installed, you can install Bitz CLI with the following command:

cargo install bitz

---

5. Change RPC URL

Set the Solana RPC URL to the Eclipse network by running:

solana config set --url https://mainnetbeta-rpc.eclipse.xyz/

---

6. Open Screen Session

To keep your mining process running in the background, open a new screen session:

screen -S eclipse

---

7. Start eMining

To begin mining, run the following command:

bitz collect

Note: You will need at least 0.005 ETH (approximately $10) on Eclipse to start mining. You can send the ETH to your public key to fund your account.

---

Other Useful Commands:

• Claim your Bitz:

  bitz claim

• Check your balance:

  bitz account

• Configure CPU usage:
  Change the number of CPU cores to be used by running:

  bitz collect --cores 8

  (Replace "8" with the number of cores you want to allocate for mining).

• View all commands:

  bitz -h

---

8. Import to Backpack

To import your Solana wallet into Backpack, follow these steps:

1. Get the path of your Keypair by running:

   solana config get

2. Copy the path of the Keypair.

3. View your keypair in array format:

   cat <Keypair path>

4. Copy the array of numbers and import them into Backpack under the "private key" section.

Conclusion

You are now set up to start mining $BITZ on Eclipse! This setup uses CPU power, so you don’t need a GPU to participate. With a small initial investment of 0.005 ETH ($10), you can begin collecting Bitz and see your rewards grow over time.

Feel free to reach out if you encounter any issues during setup or have further questions. Happy mining!
