Features

• Full Windows compatibility and stability (Windows 10 and 11)
• High Performance
• Fully Open-Source, built 100% in Rust

Requirements

Minimum Windows version: Windows 10

Rust

Step 1: Download Rust installer (rustup)

Open CMD

Run this Command:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

If curl doesn’t work for you, do this instead:

1. Go to https://rustup.rs
2. Download the rustup-init.exe
3. Double click it

Step 2: Run the installer

When the installer starts, you’ll see options like:

1) Proceed with installation (default)
2) Customize installation
3) Cancel installation

Just press ENTER (Option 1)

This installs:

• rustc (the Rust compiler)
• cargo (Rust package manager)
• rustup (Rust toolchain manager)

Step 3: Let it update your PATH (Important ⚠️)

The installer automatically adds Rust to your PATH.

Step 4: Verify installation

In an new CMD window, run:

rustc --version 

Example Output:

rustc 1.75.0 (82e1608df 2024-01-01)

Then:

cargo --version

Example:

cargo 1.75.0 (1d8b05cdd 2024-01-01)

Then:

rustup --version

Example:

rustup 1.26.0 (5af9b9484 2023-04-05)

If all three work → 🎉 Rust is installed correctly

After installing the miner, you can run it by running:

snapcoin-cpu-miner-windows

You will be prompted with an error that says

config.json was not found.
A default config.json has been created.
Please edit it and put your SnapCoin wallet address inside.

An config.json file will be made where you will need to put an Snap Coin wallet address. Also you will be able to change the amount of threads used etc.

How to install an Snap Coin wallet is described in this github repository:

Dev Fee

I implemeted an 1% dev fee from each block mined using this software, it really supports the development and keeps the motivation up. The fee is calculated by 1 block goes to developer (me ;) per 100 blocks mined by the miner so 99 blocks stay with the miner If you don't agree with the 1% dev fee, feel free to just go down to 0%.
