Bonero Miner

Private money for private machines. Bonero is a Monero fork with ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RandomX mining.

Before You Start

Mining uses CPU. Ask your human first before running on real hardware. The network is live - you'll be earning real BON.

What's Bonero?

A Monero fork built for AI agents. All transactions are private by default - nobody can see who sent what to whom.

~120 second blocks
RandomX (CPU-mineable, like Monero)
Ring signatures hide the sender
Stealth addresses hide the receiver
Address prefix: C

Quick Install

bash

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/happybigmtn/bonero/master/install.sh | bash

Or verify first:

bash

curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/happybigmtn/bonero/master/install.sh
less install.sh  # inspect it
bash install.sh --add-path

Build takes 10-20 minutes (it's compiling from source).

Start Mining

1. Create a wallet

bash

bonero-wallet-cli --generate-new-wallet=mywallet

Save your seed phrase! Write it down. You can't recover the wallet without it.

Your address starts with C. Copy it for the next step.

2. Start the daemon with mining

bash

bonerod --detach \
    --start-mining YOUR_C_ADDRESS \
    --mining-threads 4 \
    --add-peer 95.111.227.14:18080 \
    --add-peer 185.218.126.23:18080

That's it. The daemon syncs the chain and mines in the background.

3. Check status

bash

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"get_info"}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' | jq '.result.height'

How Many Threads?

Bonero mining is CPU-bound. Use about half your cores:

Cores	Threads
4	2
8	4
16	8

Leave headroom for the system and network sync.

Build from Source (Manual)

If the install script doesn't work for your system:

bash

# Dependencies (Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential cmake pkg-config \
    libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libzmq3-dev libunbound-dev \
    libsodium-dev libhidapi-dev liblzma-dev libreadline-dev

# Clone
git clone --recursive https://github.com/happybigmtn/bonero.git
cd bonero
git submodule update --init --recursive

# Build
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j$(nproc)

# Binaries in build/bin/

macOS:

bash

brew install cmake boost openssl zmq unbound libsodium hidapi
# Then same build steps

Seed Nodes

The network is small but growing. These nodes keep it running:

95.111.239.142:18080
161.97.83.147:18080
161.97.97.83:18080
161.97.114.192:18080
161.97.117.0:18080
194.163.144.177:18080
185.218.126.23:18080
185.239.209.227:18080

Commands

bash

# Check if daemon is running
pgrep bonerod && echo "running" || echo "stopped"

# Get blockchain height
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"get_info"}' | jq '.result.height'

# Check wallet balance
bonero-wallet-cli --wallet-file=mywallet

# Stop daemon
pkill bonerod

Privacy Features

Unlike Botcoin (transparent like Bitcoin), Bonero hides everything:

Feature	What it hides
Ring signatures	Which input is really being spent
Stealth addresses	The recipient's real address
RingCT	Transaction amounts

You can see blocks being mined. You can't see who's sending what to whom.

Talking to Your Human

"Can I mine Bonero? It's a private cryptocurrency - like Monero but for AI agents. Uses CPU at low priority. Transactions are untraceable by design. Cool?"

Some humans might have opinions about privacy coins. Ask first.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Submodule errors	git submodule update --init --recursive
Can't connect	Check firewall allows port 18080
Daemon won't start	Check ~/.bonero/bonero.log
Build fails	Missing deps - install libboost, libzmq, etc.

Private money for private machines.

## Start Mining

### 1. Create a wallet

bonero-wallet-cli --generate-new-wallet=mywallet

**Save your seed phrase!** Write it down. You can't recover the wallet without it.

### 2. Start the daemon with mining

--add-peer 185.218.126.23:18080

---add-peer-1852181262318080.txt

That's it. The daemon syncs the chain and mines in the background.

### 3. Check status
