Examples

Basic Mining

fiducia-miner --miner-address 1A2B3C4D5E6F7G8H9I0J

Mine with Custom Settings

fiducia-miner --miner-address 1A2B3C4D5E6F7G8H9I0J \
            --db custom_blockchain.db \
            --p2p-port 9000 \
            --api-port 9001 \
            --mining-threads 4

Connect to Existing Node

fiducia-miner --miner-address 1A2B3C4D5E6F7G8H9I0J \
            --connect-to 192.168.1.100:8333

Clean Installation

fiducia-miner --miner-address 1A2B3C4D5E6F7G8H9I0J --clean

Dashboard Access

Once the miner is running, a simulated dashboard is available at:

http://localhost:8545/dashboard

(Or whichever API port you specified with --api-port)

Data Storage

All blockchain data is stored in:

~/fiducia-miner-data/

This includes your blockchain database and related files.

Notes

• All mining rewards will be sent to the address specified with --miner-address
• The miner runs in the foreground by default; use Ctrl+C to stop
• To run in the background, consider using tools like nohup, screen, or tmux
• The default difficulty is set to 4 leading zeros for faster mining
• Mining rewards are set to 50 FID per block

Development

To develop on this package:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/fiducia-miner.git
