🧰 Prerequisites
Before getting started, make sure you have the following:
- A Linux-based system (Ubuntu 20.04+ or WSL on Windows)
- A Backpack wallet (or another Eclipse-compatible wallet) Download
-
0.005+ ETH on the Eclipse network
Getting Started
Prepare Environment
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install curl nano build-essential -y
Build Screen from Source
sudo apt install autoconf make gcc libutempter-dev libpam0g-dev libncurses5-dev -y
curl -O https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/screen/screen-4.9.1.tar.gz
tar -xzf screen-4.9.1.tar.gz
cd screen-4.9.1
./configure
make
sudo make install
Check screen version
screen --version
Install RUST
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
Press 1 to proceed
source $HOME/.cargo/env
Install Solana CLI
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://solana-install.solana.workers.dev | bash
After Installation, reload terminal
source $HOME/.bashrc
Check Version
solana --version
if using VPS, and Solana not found, REBOOT
reboot
Configue RPC for Eclipse
This connects CLI to the Eclipse mainnet.
solana config set --url https://mainnetbeta-rpc.eclipse.xyz/
Wallet Setup (Solana Keypair)
Create New Keypair
solana-keygen new
Press ENTER and save the passphrase
Exporting PrivateKey from ID.json
cat ~/.config/solana/id.json
- Copy the output (a list of numbers) and import it into Backpack Wallet under “Private Key”.
- Fund the wallet with 0.005+ ETH on Eclipse to activate mining.
Install Bitz CLI
This compiles and installs the Bitz miner directly from source.
cargo install bitz
🧪 Start Mining Bitz by opening Screen
screen -S bitzminer
Start Miner
bitz collect
Using Multiple core
bitz collect --cores 4
To keep it running in the background:
- Detach screen:
Ctrl + A + D - Reattach screen: `
screen -r bitzminer - List screens:
screen -ls - Stop miner:
Ctrl + Cinside screen - Kill screen:
screen -XS bitzminer quit
I used 4 cores here (will adjsut appropriately according to my SPEC)
Claim Mined tokens
bitz claim
Check Wallet status
bitz account
✅ Final Notes
- Always keep a backup of your id.json file and mnemonic
- Bitz mining only works if your wallet is funded with ETH on Eclipse
- You can run this setup on basic VPS (e.g., 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM)
DONE!
HAHAHAHAHAH!
