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 |
Installation
macOS: Download the .zip file, extract it, 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, and run the quantus_miner executable.
Windows: Download the .zip file, extract it, and run quantus_miner.exe.
Prerequisites
Before you start mining, you need:
- A Quantus wallet address to receive rewards. Download the Quantus mobile wallet from linktr.ee/quantusnetwork and create an account.
- A running Quantus node. See Mining and Running a Node for node setup.
The Miner App handles the mining computation, but it connects to your local node (which handles the blockchain networking and block submission).
Features
- CPU and GPU mining support
- Real-time hash rate display
- Configure number of CPU workers and GPU devices
- Simple start/stop controls
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 |
