QUAI Mainnet Mining Launch: Everything You Need to Know  

On February 5th, QUAI mainnet mining will officially begin. The exact time has not been specified yet. Below, you’ll find the latest information about QUAI mining, pool details, and how to start mining coins using your GPUs.


Overview:

Quai Network has introduced the first scalable and programmable Proof-of-Work blockchain, implementing the Energy Dollar — a stablecoin pegged to energy rather than inflationary fiat currencies.

Why is this important? The world needs a stable decentralized currency that isn’t controlled by central banks or printed endlessly. Quai’s Energy Dollar is backed by real energy supply and demand, making it the most sustainable form of money. But that’s not all. The Quai blockchain on PoW is designed for speed, scalability, and security, offering developers, miners, and traders an ecosystem of the future. In the Quai network, there are two tokens: QUAI for interacting with dApps, and QI for real-world applications.

Key Dates:

  • February 4th : TGE (Token Generation Event) and mining start for Node Wranglers.
  • February 5th : Public mining begins.
  • February 10th : Launch of transactions on the Quai network.
  • March 19th : Launch of $QI token transactions.

Mining Instructions

RigelMiner (1% Fee)

Windows Batch File (*.bat):

@echo off
@cd /d "%~dp0"
:: mine to herominers
rigel.exe a quai -o stratum+tcp://ru.quai.herominers.com:1185 -u YOUR_QUAI_WALLET_ADDRESS -w YOUR_WORKER_NAME
pause

Replace POOL_ADDRESS with the address of your chosen pool and WALLET_ADDRESS with your wallet address.

Ubuntu/Linux One-Line Command

Replace the wallet address (after -u) and worker name (after -w) in this command:

wget https://github.com/rigelminer/rigel/releases/download/1.20.1/rigel-1.20.1-linux.tar.gz -O rigel-1.20.1-linux.tar.gz && tar -xzvf rigel-1.20.1-linux.tar.gz && cd rigel-1.20.1-linux && ./rigel -a quai -o stratum+tcp://ru.quai.herominers.com:1185 -u YOUR_QUAI_WALLET_ADDRESS -w YOUR_WORKER_NAME

HiveOS Rigel Setup

  1. Initial Setup
    • After updating HiveOS, version 1.20.1 may not load immediately. Wait a few minutes, restart your flight sheet, and ensure the quai algorithm is selected.

Example Flight Sheet:

  1. Manual Update Command
    Run this to force-update Rigel on HiveOS (remove # if using a beta version):
cd ~/tmp && rm -rf ~/tmp/rigel-1.20.1-linux/ && wget https://github.com/rigelminer/rigel/releases/download/1.20.1/rigel-1.20.1-linux.tar.gz && tar -xvf rigel-1.20.1-linux.tar.gz && miner stop && cp -rf ~/tmp/rigel-1.20.1-linux/rigel /hive/miners/rigel/1.20.0/ && rm -rf ~/tmp/rigel-1.20.1-linux/ && miner start

Open HiveShell and create a new session:

screen -S quai

Run the mining command (replace wallet and worker):

wget https://github.com/rigelminer/rigel/releases/download/1.20.1/rigel-1.20.1-linux.tar.gz -O rigel-1.20.1-linux.tar.gz && tar -xzvf rigel-1.20.1-linux.tar.gz && cd rigel-1.20.1-linux && ./rigel -a quai -o stratum+tcp://ru.quai.herominers.com:1185 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -w WORKER_NAME

To resume the session later:

wget https://github.com/rigelminer/rigel/releases/download/1.20.1/rigel-1.20.1-linux.tar.gz -O rigel-1.20.1-linux.tar.gz && tar -xzvf rigel-1.20.1-linux.tar.gz && cd rigel-1.20.1-linux && ./rigel -a quai -o stratum+tcp://ru.quai.herominers.com:1185 -u 0x00025bf3e76e4aE6Aa5D1fd5B1e15aB4fB9cEAeA -w 4090
  • Wallet Address Example: 0x00025bf3e76e4aE6Aa5D1fd5B1e15aB4fB9cEAeA (replace with your own).
  • Pool Address Example: stratum+tcp://ru.quai.herominers.com:1185
screen -r quai

Check active sessions:

screen -ls

Quick Start via HiveShell Alternatively, use tmux for session management.
