How do I mine LBRY credits?

LBRY binaries are out for OS X and Ubuntu. Others may try compiling from source.

Mining on Ubuntu

  1. wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.lbry.io/bins.zip
  2. unzip bins.zip
  3. ./lbrycrdd -server -printtoconsole -gen
  4. If you need to start over, run rm -rf bins.zip lbry* ~/.lbry*. Note: this will delete your wallet and any credits you may have.

Mining on macOS

  1. wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.lbry.io/osxbins.zip
  2. unzip osxbins.zip
  3. mkdir ~/Library/Application\ Support/lbrycrd
  4. sudo chown -R "$(whoami)" ~/Library/Application\ Support/lbrycrd
  5. echo -e "rpcuser=lbryrpc\nrpcpassword=$(env LC_CTYPE=C LC_ALL=C tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 < /dev/urandom | head -c 16 | xargs)" > ~/Library/Application\ Support/lbrycrd/lbrycrd.conf
  6. ./lbrycrdd -server -printtoconsole -gen
  7. If you need to start over, run rm -rf bins.zip lbry* ~/.lbry ~/Library/Application\ Support/lbrycrd. Note: this will delete your wallet and any credits you may have.

Compiling

LBRY can be compiled quite similarly to Bitcoin. Pester @jackrobison on Slack to fill this in!
