Running

Make sure you have all requirements by running

pip install -r requirements.txt

Edit main.py and set your address and the kaspad you want to connect to and then just run

python main.py

Structure

• miner.py - contains the miner logic (how much time to spend on each work item, when to switch, how to generate nonces). Calling HW devices would be done from here
• pow.py - the nitty gritty of the proof of work details
• main.py - in charge of communication with node and sending work to the miner

Third Party

• keccak.py - python implementation of keccak taken from the offical group (could be optimized)

GRPC

• *_pb2.py - Auto generated. Contains definitions of the protobuf object
• *_pb2_grpc.py - Auto generated. Contains definitnions of teh grpc client.

Developing

Regenerating gRPC Client

After downloading the required .proto files to the protos directory run

python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I./protos --python_out=. ./protos/rpc.proto      
python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I./protos --python_out=. ./protos/p2p.proto
python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I./protos --python_out=. --grpc_python_out=. ./protos/messages.proto
