It will sync with the network and display the message “You are now synchronized with the network. You may now start wownero-wallet-cli” when it is completely up to date with the network
./wownerod
wownerod.exe
The job of the Wownero daemon is to monitor the network for new transactions. You now need to open a new terminal window and run the Wownero command line wallet, which will communicate with the Wownero daemon that you’ve just stared.
./wownero-wallet-cli
wownero-wallet-cli.exe
Follow the instructions displayed to create a new wallet. When told the 25 word SEED, write this down on paper and keep it in a very safe place. Even if you forget your passwords, the 25 word SEED can be used to recreate your wallet from any machine and have complete control over your Wownero funds. Sample output from the Wownero wallet is below:
This is the command line wownero wallet. It needs to connect to a wownero
daemon to work correctly.
Wownero 'Illiterate Illuminati' (v0.9.0.2-release)
Logging to ./wownero-wallet-cli.log
Specify wallet file name (e.g., MyWallet). If the wallet doesn't exist, it will be created.
Wallet file name (or Ctrl-C to quit): test
No wallet found with that name. Confirm creation of new wallet named: test
(Y/Yes/N/No): Yes

Type “address” to see your public wallet address. You can give this address to anyone, and they will be able to send you Wownero. However, NEVER give anyone your 25 word SEED.

Keep in mind that solo mining is a lottery. Miners win block rewards randomly. You could be lucky and find a block in 1 minute or it could take a month or two to win a block. On average, miners will get rewards about the same as pools, but you have to look at it from the long term (months, not day to day). If you are looking for instant gratification, you are better off just mining XMR on a large pool.
Besides the financial interest in mining, there is also an ideological dimension. By solo mining, you are contributing to the project by helping to make the network more secure. Wownero is made up of altruistic, unpaid volunteers doing this stuff for fun. There was no premine, dev tax, or scammy “fast mined” emission curve like in other projects. If you don’t have coding skills or the financial resources to donate towards proposals or the development fund, even if you never win a block, you can do your small part by solo mining. Every hash counts. The more decentralized nodes and miners there are, the stronger the network.
First, get a Wownero wallet address. You could use Wowlet, Wowstash, Wonerujo, wownero-wallet-cli, or a paper wallet.
You will need to use your “main address” (starts with “Wo”) to mine, not a “subaddress” (starts with “WW”). You would use subaddresses when making transactions with other people in order to better protect your identity. For mining, since you are directly interacting with the network, you only need your main address to start mining. If you are using Wowlet, to get the main address, click on “Wallet”, and then click on “Keys”, the main address is in “Primary address” section. In wownero-wallet-cli, type command address.
You will also need something called a “Private Spend Key”. This key is used to sign transactions (and now blocks) and should not be shared with anyone. For Wowlet, you can find this key in the “Keys” section. If you are using Wowstash, you can find the spend key by clicking on “See Secrets” button. In wownero-wallet-cli, type command spendkey.
(OP)
To solo mine, follow these directions:
wownerod.exe --start-mining YOUR-ADDRESS --spendkey YOUR-SPENDKEY
./wownerod --start-mining YOUR-ADDRESS --spendkey YOUR-SPENDKEY
./wownerod --start-mining YOUR-ADDRESS --spendkey YOUR-SPENDKEY
If it is your first time opening wownerod, it will take a few minutes to sync up with the network. About 15 minutes or so.
By default, you will be mining with 1 thread. If you want to increase the number of CPU threads, add –mining-threads and the number, so it would look something like this:
wownerod.exe --start-mining YOUR-ADDRESS --spendkey YOUR-SPENDKEY --mining-threads NUMBER
To check your hash rate, type:
mining_status
To stop mining, type:
stop_mining
To exit, type:
exit
How to mine wownero? You can use xmrig to mine wow on pools.
Get xmrig from xmrig releases
Run xmrig with the following flags (don’t forget to set your address!)
./xmrig -o pool.wowne.ro:7777 -u Wo3MWeKwtA918DU4c69hVSNgejdWFCRCuWjShRY66mJkU2Hv58eygJWDJS1MNa2Ge5M1WjUkGHuLqHkweDxwZZU42d16v94mP -p fluffydoge -a rx/wow --cpu-priority 0
