now that your node is configured and your reward assignment is in place, it's time to start mining! for this, you'll use the official https //github com/signum network/signum miner , a fast and reliable tool designed for both solo and pool mining 📦 step 1 download & install head over to the official repository 🔗 https //github com/signum network/signum miner download the latest release for your operating system download also the config yaml from the project (under assets) unpack the archive/config yaml to a directory of your choice 🛠 step 2 configure config yaml before starting the miner, you need to adjust the config yaml file to match your solo mining setup here’s a minimal example of a config change for solo mining in the config yaml plot dirs \ '/path/to/your/plots' \ '/path/to/your/plots' \ '/path/to/your/plots' url 'http //localhost 8125' # make sure this points to your local node submit only best false # must be false for solo mining 🔍 key points plot dirs replace this with the full path to your plot files directories example 'm \signum 1' url uncomment this line and set it to your local node's api endpoint the default is usually http //localhost 8125 — do not leave this commented submit only best set this to false for solo mining the miner should submit all deadlines to your node (not just the best one), as block selection is handled by the node itself ▶️ step 3 start the miner once configured, you can launch the miner by double clicking on the exe or with a command line you should see your miner begin scanning plots and submitting deadlines to your node if your deadline is the shortest in the network, your node will forge the next block signum miner with your setup complete, you’re now actively contributing to the strength, decentralisation, and sustainability of the signum blockchain — solo and secure
