m1n3

Requirements

Requirement	Description
Sui Wallet	A Sui address to receive mining shares and submit transactions
Mining Hardware	Any SHA-256 mining hardware (ASIC recommended for mainnet)
Internet Connection	Stable connection to reach the stratum server and Sui network
SUI for Gas	Small amount of SUI tokens to pay for on-chain transactions

Sui Wallet Setup

1. Install Sui CLI

# Using Homebrew (macOS)
brew install sui

# Using Cargo (all platforms)
cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git --branch mainnet sui

2. Create a new address

sui client new-address ed25519

# Save the recovery phrase securely!

3. Fund your wallet

Transfer a small amount of SUI to your address for gas fees. You can get your active address with:

sui client active-address

Option A: Connect to an Existing Pool

The fastest way to start mining. Point your mining hardware at a running m1n3 stratum server using the standard stratum protocol:

stratum+tcp://<pool-server>:3333
Username: <sui_address>.<worker_name>   (e.g. 0x1234...abcd.rig1)
Password: x

Username format: Your Sui address followed by a dot and a worker name of your choice. The worker name helps you identify different rigs in pool statistics.

Option B: Run Your Own Stratum Server

Full control over your mining setup.

1. Build the stratum server

git clone https://github.com/m1n3-protocol/m1n3-stratum.git
cd m1n3-stratum
cargo build --release

2. Configure and run

./target/release/m1n3-stratum \
  --bitcoin-rpc http://user:pass@127.0.0.1:8332 \
  --port 3333 \
  --sui-package 0xdf7cc2d80454cd56818e58e727b48beb2f8c441fcf6e4f46fd2282d24427a895 \
  --sui-pool 0x5b38b5c0ef42da7ae9776b3dedf0a04997d550121f5283790d526bbca46f3128 \
  --template-registry 0xaae6cb21c622ed2ae1ac3425eb8eca2c591eb7d291dbff3c39827de4ba5d746d \
  --initial-difficulty 4096 \
  --target-shares-per-min 10 \
  --decentralized true \
  --sui-rpc-url https://fullnode.mainnet.sui.io:443

3. Connect your miners

Point your mining hardware at localhost:3333 using the same username format described above.

Miner Registration

Before submitting shares, your Sui address must be registered as a miner in the pool's on-chain registry. This is a one-time transaction.

sui client call \
  --package 0xdf7cc2d80454cd56818e58e727b48beb2f8c441fcf6e4f46fd2282d24427a895 \
  --module pool \
  --function register_miner \
  --args 0x5b38b5c0ef42da7ae9776b3dedf0a04997d550121f5283790d526bbca46f3128

Note: If you're connecting to a pool that handles registration automatically, you may not need this step. Check with your pool operator.
