Get Mining

Mine CIVIC with any CPU.

civiclight is designed to run on ordinary desktop hardware. Two ways to mine: join the official pool for steady rewards, or mine solo against your own node.

Pool Mining

Combine hashrate with other miners and get paid proportionally as blocks are found.

Recommended

terminal

# download and run the miner (see Downloads page)
cpuminer.exe -a civiclight -o stratum+tcp://pool.civiclight.xyz:3032 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x -t 4

Pool address	pool.civiclight.xyz
Stratum port	3032

Password	x (any value works)
Threads (-t)	match your CPU core count

Solo Mining

Mine directly against your own full node. Keep 100% of every block reward, at higher variance.

Advanced

Run a full node

Download civicnet-node from the Downloads page and start it. It will sync automatically using the built-in DNS seed.

Get a wallet address with civicnet-cli getnewaddress, or use one from the web wallet.

Point the miner at your node's RPC:

terminal

cpuminer.exe -a civiclight -o http://YOUR_NODE_IP:9332 -u RPC_USER -p RPC_PASSWORD --coinbase-addr=YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -t 4

P2P port	9333
RPC port	9332
DNS seed	dnsseed.civiclight.xyz

Building from source

For Linux, macOS, or platforms without a prebuilt binary.
