Power Cost Calculator

Monthly Cost = (Watts × 24 × 30) / 1000 × $/kWh

Example (RTX 4090):
(450W × 24 × 30) / 1000 × $0.12 = $38.88/month

5. Solo Mining to Your Own Node

Solo mining allows you to mine directly to your own Radiant Core node without relying on third-party pools.

Benefits

Full block rewards — Keep 100% of mined blocks (25,000 RXD + fees)
Privacy — No pool operator sees your mining activity
Independence — No pool fees or downtime concerns
Decentralization — Strengthens the network

Quick Setup (5 Minutes)

Step 1: Build and Start Node

git clone https://github.com/Radiant-Core/Radiant-Core.git
cd Radiant-Core
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)

# Create mining wallet
./src/radiant-cli createwallet "miner"
./src/radiant-cli -rpcwallet=miner getnewaddress

Step 2: Configure Node

Create or edit ~/.radiant/radiant.conf:

# Server settings (REQUIRED for mining)
server=1
daemon=1

# RPC credentials (use strong, unique values!)
rpcuser=your_secure_username
rpcpassword=your_secure_password_here

# Network settings
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.0/16

# Mining profile for optimal performance
nodeprofile=mining

# Optional: Bind to all interfaces for remote miners
rpcbind=0.0.0.0

Step 3: Start the Node

./build/src/radiantd
./build/src/radiant-cli getblockchaininfo

Step 4: Start the Stratum Proxy

export RPC_USER="your_secure_username"
export RPC_PASS="your_secure_password_here"
export RPC_PORT="7332"
export RPC_WALLET="miner"
export STRATUM_PORT="3333"
export STRATUM_DIFFICULTY="8"

cd mining
python3 stratum_proxy.py

Step 5: Configure Your ASIC Miner

Pool URL: stratum+tcp://YOUR_NODE_IP:3333
Worker: 1YourRadiantAddress.ASIC01
Password: x

Verifying Mining is Working

# Check node is receiving work
./build/src/radiant-cli getmininginfo

# Check wallet balance
./build/src/radiant-cli -rpcwallet=miner getbalance

Security Recommendations

Firewall: Only expose port 3333 to your local network
Strong credentials: export RPC_PASS="$(openssl rand -base64 32)"
Worker allowlist: export ALLOWED_WORKERS="wallet1.asic1,wallet1.asic2"

6. Glyph Token Mining (dMint)

What is dMint?

Decentralized Minting (dMint) allows anyone to mine Glyph fungible tokens instead of native RXD. Token creators set the mining algorithm, difficulty/DAA mode, total supply, and reward per solve.

V2 On-Chain PoW Validation (Radiant Core 2.1)

Starting at block 410,000, Glyph v2 dMint contracts validate proof-of-work entirely on-chain using new hash opcodes. OP_BLAKE3 and OP_K12 execute hash functions natively in the script engine. The DAA is computed on-chain using OP_LSHIFT/OP_RSHIFT (ASERT-lite). No indexer trust required. This eliminates griefing attacks where invalid work could consume token state. v1 dMint tokens (SHA256d with fixed difficulty) continue to work unchanged after the fork.

Supported Algorithms

Algorithm	ID	Best Hardware	Status
SHA256d	0x00	NVIDIA/AMD	Active (v1)
Blake3	0x01	NVIDIA/AMD	Post-fork (v2)
KangarooTwelve	0x02	NVIDIA/AMD	Post-fork (v2)

Manual Calculation

Daily Revenue = (Your Hashrate / Network Hashrate) × Daily Blocks × Block Reward × Price

Daily Blocks = 24 × 60 / 5 = 288 blocks/day

Example:
Hashrate: 10 GH/s, Network: 100 TH/s, Price: $0.001/RXD
Daily = (10 / 100,000) × 288 × 25,000 × $0.001 = $0.72/day

8. Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue	Solution
Connection refused	Check connectivity with `ping`; try alternate port; check firewall
Low hashrate	Increase intensity; check driver version; monitor temps for throttling
Invalid/rejected shares	Check wallet address format; verify algorithm is `sha512256d`; update mining software
GPU not detected	Run `nvidia-smi` or `rocm-smi`; update drivers
Miner crashing	Lower intensity/overclock; check PSU wattage; monitor temps

Optimization Tips

Overclocking (at your own risk): Core +100-150 MHz, Memory +500-1000 MHz, Power Limit 80-90%
Linux: Set GPU to performance mode with nvidia-smi -pm 1
Reduce stale shares: Use closest pool; use wired connection; enable stale share submission
