Wallet and Miner Download: https://epic.tech/downloads/
Choose the right version for your system, here I use the windows version as example!
Click the name and download all of the 4 files.
Run the Server and Create Wallet!
1: Unzip the epic.zip file to run the epic server and wait for the synchronisation to complete.
There are 4 steps to finish the sync, the Header Chain Height
and Chain Height
will be equal when finished!
2: Now we need to create a new wallet., unzip the epic-wallet zip file, and run the epic-wallet-create.bat file
It's invisible when you type your password (just like Linux), so please make sure you type the right password. It's better to write down the password on notepad and save it!
Then your wallet seed file will be generated! PLEASE WRITE DOWN YOUR RECOVERY PHRASE and keep it SECRET, it’s your BACKUP!
3: Chcek Balance - Run the "epic-wallet-info"
NOW WE CAN MINE THE EPIC CASH
Mine with CPU
1: Unzip the miner.zip file, and edit the epic-miner.toml file with notepad or other txt editors!
Line 40: change the algo to RandomX to mine with CPU, this Randomx is an algo designed for CPU. OR change it to ProgPow is you want to mine with GPU!
Line 46: choose a mining pool: change "127.0.0.1:3416" to a mining pool, such as "epic.icemining.ca:4000"
Line 49 & 52, remove the "#", and change the login username and password, you can use your wallet address as username, and X as password!
Line 64: change the mining threads!
2: Save and close the file, then run the "epic-miner" to mine EPIC CASH with CPU!
Mine with GPU RIG
1: Edit the epic-miner.toml and change the algo to ProgPow
2: Setting the mining pool / name / pass info
3: Edit line 80:
Copy and paste to the same ammount of your GPU card! Such as below for 3 cards
[[mining.gpu_config]]
device = 0
driver = 2
[[mining.gpu_config]]
device = 1
driver = 2
[[mining.gpu_config]]
device = 2
driver = 2
4: Save and close the file, then run the "epic-miner" to mine EPIC CASH with your GPU Rig!

Epic 挖矿教程
此处不再配图,可查看英文版图片!
先去下载对应的钱包及挖矿软件: https://epic.tech/downloads/
根据自己的系统选择对应的软件包,这里以Windows系统为例。
1: 解压epic.zip文件,运行Server服务器端同步数据,当看到 Header Chain Height
和 Chain Height
这两个数据相同时,即表示同步完成!
2: 解压wallet.zip文件, 运行epic-wallet-create.bat
文件创建新钱包
注意在输入密码的时候是不显示的,不要输错! 确认后会生成SEED钱包文件,以及助记词! 我的Windows7系统钱包文件C:\Users\Administrator\.epic\main\wallet_data
! 建议备份钱包及助记词!
3:解压Miner.zip文件,编辑里面的epic-miner.toml
文件,图片请参考英文部分!
如果你用CPU挖矿,算法就改成RandomX
,如果你用GPU,算法改成ProgPow
同时修改矿池,用户名及密码,线程等信息,这和常规挖矿一样!
P.S. 记得把用户名和密码那两行前面的#
符号给删掉!
针对GPU矿机多显卡的设置(请参考上面的图片及下面对应的代码,多少张显卡就复制多少个)
然后运行miner.exe
开始挖矿!
4:转账,A转账20个epic给B
首先确保两个人都在线,运行server服务端。
A端先创建个.bat文件来创建发送命令, 文件内容为 epic-wallet.exe send -m file -d any_transaction_name.tx 20
, 其中any_transaction_name
即你为此次转账取的名字,任意写,但是下面的都要对应!
运行此.bat文件后会生成一个any_transaction_name.tx
文件,把这个文件发给B。
B在收到这个文件后,也要创建一个.bat文件来接收,文件内容为epic-wallet.exe receive -i any_transaction_name.tx
.
运行此.bat文件后,会生成一个any_transaction_name.tx.response
文件,把这个文件传回给A
A再创建一个.bat文件,内容为epic-wallet.exe finalize -i any_transaction_name.tx.response
。运行此文件确认,即可完成交易过程!
