Before mining you must register the hotkey of your wallet into a UID slot on one of Bittensor's subnetworks, once this UID is yours you can run your own miner, or select one of Bittensor's many pre-built miners.
Bittensor's pre-built miners are installed from source. For instance,
1$ git clone https://github.com/opentensor/bittensor.git 2$ python3 -m pip install -e bittensor/ 3$ tree bittensor 4 bittensor/ 5 neurons/ # Miners and Validators across all subnetworks. 6 text_prompting/ # Miners and Validators for the text_prompting subnetwork. 7 miners/ # Miners. 8 GPT4ALL/ # The root folder for the GPT4ALL miner. 9 neuron.py # GPT4ALL miner main script. 10 requirements.txt # GPT4ALL requirements. 11 README.md # GPT4ALL instructions. 12 ...
Each miner comes with unique requirements and instructions in their source directory bittensor/neurons/<subnetwork>/miners/<miner name>.
1# Installing miner requirements 2python3 -m pip install -r bittensor/neurons/text_prompting/miners/GPT4ALL/requirements.txt
Each miner contains unique setup and hyperparameterization instructions. We recommend reading detailed instructions about each miner through their --help commands.
1# Reading miner --help. 2python3 bittensor/neurons/text_prompting/miners/GPT4ALL/neuron.py 3 --help
Runing the miner.
1python3 bittensor/neurons/text_prompting/miners/GPT4ALL/neuron.py 2 --netuid SUBNETWORK_TARGET_UID 3 --wallet.name YOUR_WALLET_NAME 4 --wallet.hotkey YOUR_HOTKEY_NAME 5 --logging.debug
It is recommended that you run miners using a process manager such as PM2.
1sudo apt-get install npm 2npm install pm2 3pm2 start <path to neuron.py> 4 --name my_miner 5 --interpreter python3 6 -- ... your args i.e. --wallet.name ...
