Silicoin

NOTE: Given the large number of issues reported against this particular blockchain, far more than any other, I can't recommend anyone bother with it. Please direct complaints about Silicoin to their Discord.

The Silicoin Network is a fork of the original Chia™ Network blockchain. As a clone, it is possible to farm the same plots to both blockchain networks, as long as the same private key (mnemonic seed) is provided to both the Chia™ and Silicoin farmer. Silicoin operates on a different network port though, so be sure to port-forward tcp/22222 at your router.

Summary Page

When Silicoin farming is enabled, the Summary will include a display of Total Farmed, Netspace Size, and Estimated Time to Win.

Blockchain challenges from both networks are shown as well.

Farming Page

Plots are farmed to both the original Chia blockchain and the Silicoin blockchain fork. From the Farming page listing these common plots, it's also possible to view the debug.log from each farmer/harvester for each blockchain.

Alerts Page

When enabled, Machinaris tracks farming alerts from Chiadog.

Install and Setup

  • Windows/Linux/etc users should use the Machinaris Launch wizard to create a docker-compose.yml that launches one container to farm Chia and one container to farm Silicoin. Then run docker-compose up to launch both containers.
  • Unraid users should install the "Machinaris Silicoin" application add-on available by searching the Community Applications tab.
