How to Mine VELX: Complete CPU Mining Guide for Beginners

Mining VeloxDAG is designed to be accessible. If you have a laptop and an internet connection, you can participate in securing the network.

Step 1: Clone the VeloxDAG repository and build `veloxd`, `velox-miner`, and `velox-wallet`.

Step 2: Run `./bin/velox-wallet new` to generate a `velx1...` address.

Step 3: Start your node: `./bin/veloxd -port 8545`

Step 4: Mine: `./bin/velox-miner -miner YOUR_ADDRESS -threads 8`

Each block you find pays 50 VELX directly to your address. Solo mining means you keep 100% of the reward — no pool fees at launch.

Difficulty adjusts dynamically as the DAG grows. Early miners benefit from lower competition. As the network gains hash power, rewards per block remain constant — only your share of blocks found changes.

Pro tip: Run your node 24/7 on a VPS for stability. Mining locally works great for testing. This is fair launch — your hash rate is your voice.
