WORM MINER Tutorial @EIP7503 Confirm the environment: Make sure you are rooted, on an Ubuntu system, and have 16GB of RAM. Sepolia ETH: Make sure you have at least 1.0 Sepolia ETH in your account (via Obtain). 1. Install dependencies Run the following command to install all necessary system dependencies: bash sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake libgmp-dev libsodium-dev nasm curl m4 git wget unzip nlohmann-json3-dev pkg-config libssl-dev Note: pkg-config and libssl-dev have been included to avoid previous OpenSSL errors. 2. Install Rust Install the Rust toolchain and activate the environment: bash curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf | sh -s -- -y source $HOME/.cargo/env Verify: bash rustc --version cargo --version 3. Clone the warehouse Empty the old directory and re-clone worm-privacy/miner: bash cd ~ rm -rf proof-of-burn # delete the old directory to avoid confusion git clone cd miner Verify: bash git remote -v # should show origin 4. Download the data file Download the required parameter files for ZK-SNARK proofs: bash make download_params Examine: bash ls -R | grep zkey # to confirm that the .zkey file was downloaded 5. Install the worm-miner Compile and install worm-miner: bash cargo install --path . Verify: bash worm-miner --version # should show worm-miner 0.1.2 6. Set up a private key Store the private key with the environment variable (replace with yours): bash export PRIVATE_KEY="your private key" Safe Cleanup: bash history -c echo "" > ~/.bash_history 7. Verify the Sepolia ETH balance Make sure you have at least 1.0 Sepolia ETH in your account: bash worm-miner info --network sepolia --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY If the balance is insufficient, visit Get More ETH. Record your Ethereum address (if needed): bashpip install web3python3 -c "from web3 import Web3; w3 = Web3(); print(w3.eth.account.from_key('$PRIVATE_KEY').address)" 8. Burn ETH and mint BETH Burn 1 ETH, mint 0.999 BETH (0.001 ETH as a fee): bash worm-miner burn --network sepolia --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY --amount 1 --spend 0.999 --fee 0.001 Check the output: The transaction hash (Tx-hash) and the generated file (input.json, witness.wtns) should be displayed. Verify the file: bashls input.json witness.wtns Verify BETH Balance: bash worm-miner info --network sepolia --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY Expected BETH balance: 0.99900000000000000000. 9. Participate in mining Stake 0.002 BETH each for the next 3 epochs: bash worm-miner participate --amount-per-epoch 0.002 --num-epochs 3 --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY --network sepolia 10. Claim WORM rewards After the end of the epoch (30 minutes per epoch), claim your rewards: bash worm-miner claim --from-epoch 7 --network sepolia --num-epochs 1 --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY Adjust --from-epoch to the current epoch of worm-miner info (e.g. try --from-epoch 8 if it's currently epoch 8). BETH balance remains 0: Check transaction status (replace with your transaction hash): bashcurl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getTransactionReceipt","params":["0xYOUR_TX_HASH"],"id":1}' Make sure the Sepolia network connection is working: bashcurl ETH balance and rerun burn. Parameter file download failed: Check the make download_params log: bashmake download_params Confirm the network: bashping Command failed: Provides a full error log (e.g. output from worm-miner burn). Check the worm-miner version: bashworm-miner --version Safety tips Private Key Protection: Continue to use $PRIVATE_KEY to avoid plaintext input. Backup: Record the burn_key and transaction hash of worm-miner burn, and the output (id and burnKey) of worm-miner ls. Testnet risks: Although it is a testnet, the private keys are still protected.
