`-v, --verbose`	Increase log verbosity	`-v` or `-vv`
`-q, --quiet`	Reduce log output	`-q`

Daemon Mode (Linux/MacOS)

Note: Windows does not support daemon mode, Windows users please skip this section.

Start Daemon

bash

ABEL-MINER start -p stratum://username:[email protected]:3333 -d

After startup, the following will be displayed:

text

2025-12-31T13:30:00.123456Z  INFO  starting Abel Nakamoto CPU Miner...
2025-12-31T13:30:00.234567Z  INFO  running in daemon mode
2025-12-31T13:30:00.345678Z  INFO  after daemon started, you can check logs in ./logs directory

The program will run in the background. You can close the terminal, and mining will continue.

View Logs

bash

tail -f ./logs/latest-log-file

Stop Daemon

bash

ABEL-MINER stop

Stop Mining

Non-daemon Mode

Press Ctrl + C in the terminal to stop mining.

Daemon Mode

Use the stop command:

bash

ABEL-MINER stop

Or use system tools:

bash

# Find process
ps aux | grep abel-nakamoto

# Stop process (replace PID with actual process ID)
kill PID

4. Configuration Optimization

Multi-threading Configuration

Automatic Configuration (Recommended)

By default, the program will use all your CPU cores as the number of worker threads.

Manual Configuration

If you want to customize the number of threads:

bash

ABEL-MINER start -p stratum://username:[email protected]:3333 -t 8

Recommendations:

Full mining: Number of threads = Number of CPU cores
Daily use: Number of threads = Number of CPU cores - 2 (reserve resources for other programs)
Testing: Number of threads = 1 or 2

Check CPU Core Count

Windows:

powershell

echo $env:NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS

MacOS/Linux:

bash

nproc
# Or
sysctl -n hw.ncpu  # MacOS

Log Management

Custom Log Directory

bash

ABEL-MINER start -p stratum://username:[email protected]:3333 -l /path/to/logs

Adjust Log Verbosity

Increase verbosity (for debugging):

bash

ABEL-MINER start -p stratum://username:[email protected]:3333 -v

Reduce log output (show only important information):

bash

ABEL-MINER start -p stratum://username:[email protected]:3333 -q

Performance Optimization Tips

1. Heat Dissipation Optimization

Ensure good CPU heat dissipation to avoid thermal throttling
Consider using better cooling systems

2. Power Settings

Windows: Set to "High Performance" power plan
MacOS: Disable "Power Saver" mode in "Energy Saver" settings
Linux: Use performance CPU governor

3. Background Programs

Close unnecessary background programs to free up CPU resources
Avoid running other CPU-intensive tasks simultaneously

4. Backup Mining Pool

Use a backup mining pool to improve stability:

bash

ABEL-MINER start \
  -p stratum://username:[email protected]:3333 \
  -s stratum://username:[email protected]:3333

5. Frequently Asked Questions

Installation and Runtime Issues

Q1: "Cannot open program" or "Permission denied" error

Windows:

Right-click the file → Properties → Unblock
Or run in PowerShell: Unblock-File .\ABEL-MINER.exe

MacOS:

bash

chmod +x ABEL-MINER

If you get "Cannot verify developer" error:

System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Click "Open Anyway"

Linux:

bash

chmod +x ABEL-MINER

Q2: "Command not found" error

Make sure you run the command in the directory where the executable file is located, or use the full path:

bash

# Windows
.\abel-nakamoto-cpu-miner-windows-amd64-v<version>.exe version

# MacOS/Linux
./abel-nakamoto-cpu-miner-macos-arm64-v<version> version

Q3: Cannot run due to incorrect version selection

Symptoms: Program cannot start or crashes immediately

Solution:

Confirm your CPU architecture (x86_64 or ARM64)
Try other versions for the same platform

Connection and Performance Issues

Q4: Cannot connect to mining pool

Checklist:

Confirm the mining pool address, port, username, and password are correct
Check if the network connection is normal
Check if the firewall is blocking the program
Try using the backup mining pool address

Q5: Abnormally low hashrate

Possible causes:

CPU thermal throttling → Improve heat dissipation
Too few threads set → Increase the number of threads
Background programs occupying CPU → Close unnecessary programs
Power mode is power saving → Switch to high-performance mode

Possible causes:

High network latency → Choose a mining pool with lower latency
Inaccurate system time → Synchronize system time
Mining pool server issues → Contact the mining pool administrator

Troubleshooting Methods

Program Crash

View logs: Check log files in the ./logs directory
Increase log verbosity: Re-run with -v or -vv parameters
Check system resources: Ensure sufficient memory and CPU resources
Update version: Check if a new version is available

Cannot Stop Daemon

bash

# Find process ID
ps aux | grep abel-nakamoto

# Force stop (replace PID)
kill -9 PID

Log Files Too Large

Periodically clean up old logs:

bash

# Linux/MacOS
rm -rf ./logs/*.log.old

# Windows PowerShell
Remove-Item .\logs\*.log.old
