Getting Started
IMPORTANT: Before you start, please note that the competition on the network is
very severe. Use the calculator to get a rough estimate of how much you can expect to earn.
Remember that this is not an airdrop.
I will not be responsible for your financial loss if you run the prover. If you are just looking
for profit, most probably you will lose money. Do you own calculations before joining.
TL;DR
Use this prover, checkout branch testnet3-new, and connect to the pool at pool.hamp.app:4444.

Building the prover
1. Install Rust
DO NOT install Rust using things like apt install rust.
If rust is already installed: Make sure you have at least Rust 1.65. Check with rustc --version.
Install the latest version of Rust using rustup. Run the following line:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
Accept default options by pressing Enter or customize if you need to.
Run:
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
OR Log out and log in again to finish the installation.
2. Install dependencies
Install following dependencies using the package manager of your distribution: (THIS IS NOT COMMANDS THAT YOU SHOULD COPY AND PASTE)
git clang libssl-dev pkg-config
On Debian / Ubuntu, running the following command should be enough:
sudo apt update sudo apt install git clang libssl-dev pkg-config --no-install-recommends
3. Clone and build the prover
Unless absolutely necessary, DO NOT run anything with sudo. You don't need root permission from now on.
Clone the prover repo:
git clone https://github.com/HarukaMa/aleo-prover -b testnet3-new cd aleo-prover
Build the prover using cargo:
cargo build --release
If the build successes, Run the prover:
cargo run --release -- -a aleo1your_address_here -p pool.hamp.app:4444
or
target/release/aleo-prover -a aleo1your_address_here -p pool.hamp.app:4444
Troubleshooting
Command "cargo" not found
Did you follow every step above exactly? Pay special attention to the bold parts. When uncertain, reboot the machine.
rustup says rust is already installed
I have rust 1.61
You have installed Rust through `apt`. If you don't know what's going on, Run:
sudo apt purge cargo rust-* --autoremove
Then follow the instructions again.
error: no matching package named snarkos-node-messages found when building
Make sure you have Rust 1.65 or above. Check with rustc --version. If you have
Rust 1.61, see the above item, and reinstall Rust with rustup.
Otherwise, try running cargo clean and build again.
