what's going on everyone welcome Rabid here and today we're gonna look at how to mine iron fish so
what is iron fish iron fish is actually currently in test net and it's about to hit on mainnet so
we are very early here in two days at the time of recording March 14th is day one of mainnet
so it's just entering in the main net here very soon testnet is now completed and it looks like
it's a privacy focused crypto coin so abstract here is iron fish is a decentralized proof of
work and it does sound like it's a GPU mining proof of work based coin censorship resistant
and publicly accessible blockchain project it is designed to support strong privacy guarantees on
every transaction similarly to how the invention of sslash TLS layer in the 90s paved the way to
e-commerce and benefited countless Industries we believe that privacy is a fundamental requirement
to protect the user and expand the use of cryptocurrency here's a peek at the current
emission schedule now it does look like at zero years after launch so like right now testnet type
of phases there's going to be 42 million coins in the total Supply so I know people before a certain
date mining on the test net we're getting coins and it's going to be airdropped later on so that
might be part of it right now it is too late to join that test net and like I said it's about to
hit mainnet here now after the launch you know it looks like in the first year here the block
reward will be 20 coins for a total emissions of 52 512 000 on this uh Network and then from one
to two years we're going to be at 19 coins so it looks like it's dropping one coin every year to
62 million 498 400 coins will be here at the end of two years and then in the third year it's going
to be dry drop down to 18.125 with a total supply of 72 million 24 and 900 coins at this point if we
scroll down and kind of look at the algorithm this does say iron fish currently uses Blake 3 hashing
algorithm but it is subject to change at any time including that main net launch now I haven't heard
anything mainnet launch is coming and it sounds like it's the same algo and if you're unfamiliar
with the Blake 3 algorithm that is in fact the same algorithm that a lithium is currently using
so now we gotta look in the how to mine process to see if this is something you want to get into
now there is no web wallet or anything yet they are working on that but step number one we're
gonna need a wallet and in order to do so you're gonna have to run your own node and use the CLI
wallet and you're gonna have to run a node with node.js so if you're unfamiliar with this program
I will have this link in the description you have to scroll in you'll come to here and down
load the windows installer alright so all the instructions and the process we're going to run
through is on their Discord I'll also have this pasted in my Discord when I'm done with this video
so you can get the information there as well but I did find out originally I wanted to run this on my
little node box in Windows 11 but it I was running into all sorts of issues you know I spent a lot
of time trying to figure it out set scripts and permissions and all sorts of background stuff and
nothing would work so I actually reverted to my 3900x Windows 10 PC which I did get up and running
so we're going to start with the first step here and this is simply install the node once you
download that just follow the command prompts very easy to do it'll do everything for you once you
get your node.js all ready to roll you're probably gonna have to reboot your system and then move on
to this next step so you're going to open up a new Powershell window and type this in so you're
going to put npm space install space Dash G space iron fish at 0.1.70 this is the latest version and
that is the version you're going to need before Tuesday's main net release now I expect there
might be another update right at mainnet release depending what they're doing they have to reset
the blocks to zero and all sorts of stuff so you know expect an update but you never know there
still might not be we'll see what happens anyway in order to do that you can see I can bring up my
node right here it is you know running just fine scroll all the way up and you can see I typed that
in up top there where it says npm now coming down you can see I did run into that script error so
I'm going to kind of show you how to fix that in Windows 10. if you run into that I imagine
you might by default it looks like it's an issue but we'll see so you're gonna have to allow local
Powershell scripts click on this and come down to here and this point right here was checked
off but it was still all blue writing so it wasn't actually applied so you're actually going to have
to hit the apply button and that just changes the Paul policy to allow local Powershell scripts to
run without signing so you're going to need to enable that once I did that everything seemed to
be fine Next Step here is moving on in the guide is typing in Iron fish start upgrade
but you are going to need the two dashes so iron fish space start space dash dash upgrade
it will then upgrade and install everything you just did with that latest version of the 0.1.70
and then it will begin running your node and as you can see we are now up and running our node
so next step we get our actual wallet address so now we're going to have to open up another
Powershell window and simply come into your search whatever type power and it will pop up here we can
see Windows Powershell right click I don't know if you have to run it as an administrator but I
am running as an administrator and it just it seems to be working for me so far you know it
might work without it but I'm just practiced to run everything as an administrator so there are
various ways to get your wallet address as well as backups and anything and here you can see you
can export your seed words by simply typing in Iron fish space wallet semicolon export space
backslash backslash monomic so this will give you your seed phrase you can also extract it
here with export in your Json command and here you can actually iron fish wallet export and this will
actually be a long string of your actual private keys so there's three ways to do it you know maybe
you want to get all three and use those for your backups highly recommended to at least get your
seed phrase which is this minomic one right here so use either one you want or all three and make
sure you save them for yourself okay and now the final moment you've all been waiting for
on finally getting your wallet address in order to mine to it and this is the command you're
gonna need to put in so we have iron fish wallet semicolon address there is a space in between iron
fish and wallet you should be able to see that and then you can see your public key so this is
the address right here which you will mine to so now finally we have our wallet that we're going to
be using for our address to mine to now we head on over to Hero miners we can see that they actually
have a test net pool already set up within their pools now as far as I'm aware everything will
remain exactly the same and when mainnet hits you don't have to do anything and you'll just convert
over to mainnet so at the time of viewing this if we're already on mainnet this will just get
you up and Mining straight to mainnet now here it does say mainnet will be active 11 am PDT on March
14th now I do see an update here on wherever it is where we got here we got to go to iron fish here
if we go to the iron fish Discord it says that iron fish main net launch has been updated to
9 A.M PDT so it's actually a couple hours sooner now on Tuesday March 14th all right so we finally
have our wallet address to mine too now we need a miner and for this we're going to rock with SRB
minor now we'll probably see updates for all the other miners because they do support Blake 3 with
a lithium as far as I'm aware right now we do have to use SRB minor so I will have a link to this
down in the script so you can download it when it comes to overclocking I'm assuming because it's
Blake 3 you can just go to hashrate.no pick your GPU and then just use the overclock settings there
for the tweaking process once you have downloaded and extracted SRB Miner just navigate to wherever
you did extract that file I like to keep all my stuff within the same thing here you can
see Iron finish I come in the iron fish I also have LOL Miner in here because I do like using
in their GUI in order to do my overclocking now more on that in a minute so navigate to
SRB minor here I deleted all the other bat files because I keep everything separate for each coin
that I do mine just to make it easier to find but find their start mining iron fish bat file right
click edit and it'll bring up the parameters now the algorithm and everything is already here the
only things you really got to change is your pool and your wallet address so right here coming into
hero miners we'll go back we're gonna have to pick the closest stratum here and I'm going
to go with USA West so I just copied this right here right click copy that bring up our bat file
and just paste it in right here once you're done with that you're gonna have to navigate to your
wallet I did copy mine over I like to keep all my wallet addresses together paste that in here
put a period and then your worker name and that's it it is that easy to set up your SRB minor bat
file now let's just have a look at the overclock in a vibrating afterburner up here I'm going to
go into LOL Miner and right click the GUI and run this as an administrator you're going to
want to run it as an admin in order to apply this so we're going to click click click I'm
just going to run through some quick overclocks here remember you can use hashary.no or anything
else or if you already have overclocking for your gpus for a lithium you can use that as well so I'm
just going to lock the memory here at 8 10. I'm going to go with a 200 offset on the core and I'm
locking my core to only 1200. now if I bring up my afterburner again or if I can find the button
right here or just put that to the side you can see when I hit the apply it's going to adjust and
lock it my core is now at 1200 and my memory is locked at 8 10 and I do have that offset of 200.
so once we're done with that we're just going to minus this minus this go into our GPU here go back
into iron fish I'm going to go to SRB minor and we're going to run our bat file it will now begin
mining iron fish to Hero miners all right so it hasn't been running for very long you can kind
of see here less than a minute 40 seconds or so somewhere in there but we're already detected at
the pool and we've already earned like 16 iron now I did try this earlier to make sure it was working
and it was so I didn't quite earn 16 in like one second and we are still currently on the test net
so just keep these things in mind and depending when you're seeing this video we will be live on
the mainnet on March 14th now let's move over to Hive OS and show you how to set that up all right
so now we are in Hive OS and First Step here we are going to have to add our wallet within Hive
OS so I'm going to click on ADD wallet pick our coin now I don't think it's in here yet
let's just see what iron fit iron so yeah it is actually in here so iron fish is in Hive OS by
default I was not aware of that but now I know so we're going to click on iron we're going to paste
in our wallet address and then our worker name our wallet name I'm just gonna go with iron I
guess why not you know I'm not very creative hit the create button and our iron fish wallet is now
created so it's a pretty simple process here if you've ever set up any flight sheet in Highway
West we want to select our coin we'll click on this type in iron it should pop up there we go
iron showed up this is what we did name our wallet as for pool they don't have anything here yet so
we will have to do that manually and then we're going to select SRB minor multi and we're going
to name this whatever we want so I don't know I guess I'm just going to go with iron fish
iron fish hero miners that works I spelled that wrong there we go iron fish hero Miner so now
we're going to go to our setup wallet config it already says Blake underscore iron fish so it
knows what's going on we're gonna pick our wallet I always like to go here I have issues with SRB
Miner putting the worker name over here so I'm not going to do that but I am going to click on
that and then simply cut this and paste it back over here and then we need our pool and server
so that's really simple process we're going to go back into hero miners choose the closest stratum
for you so I'm going to go with USA West that is closer for me copy that stratum come back in paste
that in there you can leave the password out now you can also do some overclocking settings if you
wish so we're going to want to disable our CPU and everything that we did have in Windows and you can
also add your overclocking parameters within SRB minor as well so I'm just going to run through
that right quick and then show you what I got so for my commands you can see I have disabled CPU I
am law my core at 1200 I got my memory clock locked at 8 10 and then I got the GPU offset
at 200. so I'm going to apply those changes and simply create this flight sheet there we go it is
all created I don't know why I have that updated there so we have our created flight sheet we're
going to scroll up actually go into our worker here pick OCTA Miner 2 and then we're going to
enable this flight sheet and take some iron fish to the moon so we're going to click that and now
we should begin mining on this now looking at Hive OS it seems like we are up and running and hashing
away but upon further investigation sshing into your rig depending when you did upgrade Hive OS
last you may not have the latest SRB minor so here you can see GPU results and validation failed that
means you're actually finding a ton of rejected shares because you're on an older version of SRB
minor so if you go back into here you can see the script to actually update to the latest version or
you can run a custom Miner as well until highbos actually does implement their update on their own
so I'm going to come into into the command line here we're going to to paste in our script we're
going to run that let us do its thing and then we come back we should be on the latest version
and finding valid shares now coming back in you can see we are now finding green chairs not red
shares we're winning now awesome let's go mine ourselves some iron boys double check just to
make sure everything is detected at the pool I do have my workstation turned off but we can see OCTA
Miner 2 is now detected and we are hashing away current estimated daily earnings 12.3 weekly 86
you know these numbers don't matter right now it's test net and soon to hit mainnet
so I do hope this video did help you guys out any questions at all be sure to join the Discord join
hero miners Discord ask in the comment section below I will see you on the next one Rabid Out
thank you
