Original Title: "How to Set Up Spacemesh Nodes?"

Original Source: Paul, CoinmanLabs

Hello everyone, I'm Paul. Previously, we talked about the launch of the Spacemesh mainnet. Today, let's talk about how to mine SMH.

Project Basic Information

Official website: https://spacemesh.io/

Github：https://github.com/spacemeshos

If you have previously mined Chia, the process is similar, involving plotting (P) but Spacemesh utilizes graphics cards for plotting. Generally speaking, the larger the P plot space, the greater the reward, and the P plot speed depends on the number of threads used.

Let's start the tutorial now.

Tutorial Steps:

Step 1 Download the corresponding system software

Now the official website has integrated it, but in fact, you still need to download it from Github in the end. Remember to download the version that corresponds to your system.

Github address: https://github.com/spacemeshos/smapp/releases.

Step 2: Establish a Wallet

After downloading the corresponding application program for your system, you can install it according to the system. Paul takes Mac as an example here.

1. Remember to select wallet+node here.

2. Select the mainnet.

3. Set Password

4. Backup the mnemonic words.

5. Move the corresponding words to their respective numbers.

Step 3: Set up storage space

After the wallet settings are completed, you need to set up storage on the disk.

1. Create storage location

Paul, remember to pay attention to the marked area here. This is the storage space you provided, because PoST: "Space-Time Proof" requires storage miners to provide storage proofs to prove that they have stored user data during the corresponding time period. Therefore, configure according to your space, with a minimum of 256G.

When you set the size of the space that can be used for P disk, you can only provide space proof after the P disk is completed, so the setting here is very important. If you want to participate in the first batch (deadline is July 24th, 8:00 UTC), your space setting needs to be completed before this time.

2. Choose the corresponding GPU or CPU.

3. Confirm data.

Reference data:

Note: The above data is calculated based on ideal conditions, as there may still be some bugs in the program at present. In case of any issues, it may be necessary to start over. It is recommended that everyone take the lowest value to ensure that they can catch up with the first batch.
