This page should provide guideline how to use VeriCoin and Verium on Windows Systems.
VeriCoin Wallet
Installation
In a Terminal start with an update of your system
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f -y
Install the wallets dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev \ libcurl4-openssl-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-program-options-dev \ libminiupnpc-dev libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev freeglut3-dev git libminizip-dev -y
Clone the wallet software itself
git clone https://github.com/vericoin/vericoin.git
Compile the wallet within its source directory
cd vericoin/src make -f makefile.unix
Configuration
Get latest config file with sync nodes
wget http://www.vericoin.info/downloads/vericoin.conf
Configure daemon
nano vericoin.conf
scroll to its very end, the lines to configure are
server=1 listen=1 daemon=1 rpcuser=vericoinrpc rpcpassword=
below the nodes list.
Usage
After the wallets installation we need to go to its directory
cd vericoin/src
and start the wallet
./vericoind
Get info about its status by:
./vericoind getinfo
One important thing is your wallets address gotten by
./veriumd getaddressesbyaccount ""
Learn how to use the VeriCoin Daemon
./vericoind help
will print a wall of text with commands and
./vericoind help [command]
explains each further. Stopping the wallet
./vericoind stop
Some further wallet commands that are interesting.
Backup
The wallet stores private key information in a file named wallet.dat. It contains:
- keypairs for each of your addresses
- transactions done from/to your addresses
- user preferences
- default key
- reserve keys
- accounts
The wallet.dat file is located in
~/.vericoin/
Backup your wallet.dat in a secure place (USB drive, CD, ...).
Linux users of the vericoind make sure to use encryptwallet to excrypt your wallet with a passphrase.
Finally backup by
cp ~/.verium/wallet.dat somewhere/save/wallet.dat
To restore your wallet just do a fresh installation and replace the new wallet.dat with your saved one.
The most important thing you need to keep backed up is your private keys for your address(s) which are stored in the wallet.dat . Store & Secure both VeriCoin & Verium in One Paper Wallet [Paper Wallet Link]
Troubleshooting
Currently the VeriCoin wallet uses a lot of memory. This is going to be fixed soon, the workaround is to limit the number of connections in
nano vericoin.conf
by adding
maxconnections=10
Verium Vault
Installation
Daemon build
Updated for Version 1.1
The whole thing as a script: [Download Shell script] or use
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DJoeDt/verium/master/install_Verium_Wallet.sh chmod +x install_Verium_Wallet.sh ./install_Verium_Wallet.sh
It will do what is described in the step-wise Manual Verium Wallet Installation .
In case you see ERRORS like -No such file... - it actually helps to run the script again since probably the installation of some dependencies failed.
Configuration
Usage
The wallet should run now, but we need to go to its directory
cd verium/wallet/src
and get info about this by:
./veriumd getinfo
Now stop the wallet
./veriumd stop
Configuration
It is configured in
nano verium.conf
scroll to its very end, the lines to configure are
rpcuser=YourSoloMiningName rpcpassword=YourSoloMiningPassword rpcallowip=YourAccessIP rpcallowip=localhost
You have to configure the IPs of the machines that should be able to connect. If you mine solo you have to come up with a username and a password for your miners to access the wallet.
Get your address
Now start the wallet again
./veriumd
The most important thing right now is your wallets address gotten by
./veriumd getaddressesbyaccount ""
Backup
Finally backup by
cp ~/.verium/wallet.dat somewhere/save/wallet.dat
To restore your wallet just do a fresh installation and replace the new wallet.dat with your saved one.
The most important thing you need to keep backed up is your private keys for your address(s) which are stored in the wallet.dat . Store & Secure both VeriCoin & Verium in One Paper Wallet [Paper Wallet Link]
Help

./veriumd help
will print a wall of text with commands and
./veriumd help [command]
explains each further.

Troubleshooting
How to include the blockchain manually in veriumd:
Download and save in verium subfolder
wget -O ~/verium/bootstrap_VRM.zip http://www.vericoin.info/downloads/bootstrap_VRM.zip
Unzip it
cd ~/verium unzip bootstrap_VRM.zip
Delete previous files
rm -rf ~/.verium/txleveldb rm -rf ~/.verium/blk0001.dat
Move unzipped files to .verium folder
mv ~/verium/bootstrap/blk0001.dat ~/.verium/blk0001.dat mv ~/verium/bootstrap/txleveldb ~/.verium/txleveldb

Special Hardware Guides
Mining Software
!linuxguide Thanks to technikpto for this helpful guide! https://vericoinandverium.slack.com/files/U6JB348M6/F7ML8F7JS/install-verium-cpu-miner-linux.pdf.pdf
Install scripts by dominer: I've released a script for installing @fireworm's miner. Until now only for Linux_x64 but ARMv7/v8 will follow later today. Supports GCC 7.2 (fully automatic), compiling or precompiled packages (fully automatic) and magic stuff on hugepages (autocalculated).
Optimization
Odroid
ODROID Verium Mining Image: Download
- Burn it without extracting it (because it's 2 partitions)
- On first bootup give it 5-10 mins time until you should be able to find the device in the network.
- Log in with standard root/odroid
- Then
nano /etc/rc.local
For further information visit out special Odroid section.
GCC
It was noticed, that using latest GCC version to compile the miner causes hashrate to increase. Default version in Ubuntu 16.04 is GCC 5.4.0. Basic Ubuntu GCC update instructions:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/gcc-7.2 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gcc-7 g++-7
check the version:
gcc --version
update alternatives if needed:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-7 60 && sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 60
Autostart
rc.local
Autostart configuration:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
# Verium Miner Configuration /root/verium/nwayminer/cpuminer \ -o stratum+tcp://vrm.n3rd3d.com:3332 -u joe_rondx.1 -p joe \ --no-color >> /root/verium/nwayminer/miner.log &
You must enter the full path to the miner.
crontab
you can follow these steps to make the miner auto start after a reboot: (make a run command that will startup the miner)
nano run.sh
(add the following line, changing the values to correspond to your pool, account name, miner name, and password)
./cpuminer -o pool -u username.miner -p x
ctrl-o to save, ctrl-x to exit (make the run command executable)
chmod +x run.sh
(create a startup command that is used to automatically start the miner when you reboot your system)
nano ~/startup.sh
(add the following 2 lines, changing username to your Linux account name)
cd /home/username/veriumMiner ./run.sh > run.out &
(make the startup command executable)
chmod +x ~/startup.sh
(Tell cron to run startup at reboot)
crontab -e
(add this as the last line in crontab, changing username to your Linux account name)
@reboot /home/username/startup.sh 2>&1
