Miner App
The Quantus Miner App is the easiest way to start mining. It provides a graphical interface for both CPU and GPU mining -- no terminal required.
Download
Download the latest Miner App for your platform from GitHub Releases:
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| macOS (Intel / Apple Silicon) | quantus_miner_macos.zip |
| Linux (x64) | quantus_miner_linux.tar.gz |
| Windows (x64) | quantus_miner_windows.zip |
Prerequisites
Before you start mining, you need:
- A Quantus wallet address to receive rewards. Download the Quantus mobile wallet from quantus.com/wallet and create an account.
Installation
macOS: Download the .zip file, extract it into your desired directory, and run Quantus Miner.app. If macOS blocks the app, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway."
Linux: Download the .tar.gz file, extract it into your desired directory, and run the quantus_miner executable.
Note on Syncing
Once you input your inner hash (or seed phrase) you can begin syncing your node.
Wait until the node is fully synced, and then begin mining.
Depending on your internet speed it may take 5-30 minutes for the node to full sync.
Monitoring
Check your mining progress on the telemetry dashboard.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| macOS blocks the app | System Settings > Privacy & Security > "Open Anyway" |
| App won't connect | Make sure your Quantus node is running first |
| Low hash rate | Increase CPU workers or enable GPU mining in settings |
| Mining not producing blocks | Verify your node is fully synced before mining |
