Turn your computer into a VITC earning PoW machine

The Vitamin Coin team has made running PoW on a computer unbelievably simple. In a few simple steps, your computer can be running PoW for a multitude of applications on the Vite Network… and as a reward, you get VITC.

Step 1

Download and Install Node.js Installer

Step 2

Open Terminal on Mac or Linux. If you’re on Windows, open CMD. Then simply copy and paste in the below command, enter your wallet and press enter. Make sure to carefully include the wallet address where you’d like the VITC to be deposited (don’t included the < > symbols).

npx vpow@latest <YOUR_VITE_ADDRESS> 0:0

If this is the first time running on your computer, it may prompt to install the VPoW package.

  vpow@0.1.7
Ok to proceed? (y)

To install, type y and press enter. The required package will download and install and automatically start running PoW.

Step 3: Profit

When VPoW is running there are 3 common lines you’ll see.

Problems?

Having any problems running VPoW? Depending on GPU, it’s possible that VPoW could have some issues on your computer. pyPoW can help solve those problems as it has better platform support, but may be slower. Only run pyPoW if you’re experiencing issues running VPoW.

To run pyPoW, simply run this command instead of the above command.

npx vpow@latest <YOUR_VITE_ADDRESS> 0:0 --pyPow
  • Earned VITC is deposited once a day into your specified wallet.
  • The more powerful your computer, the higher chance of being first and earning.
