scala-network / GUI-miner

An easy to use GUI miner available for Windows, macOS and Linux

Scala GUI Miner

The Scala GUI miner is a beautiful, easy to use, interface for mining Scala. It is aimed at getting people that have never mined Scala into the crypto game by making it really simple to get started.

We currently support one very popular miner backend:

1. xlarig

If you'd like to fork this miner for you own coin, please see the forking section later.

Compiling

Linux

The miner GUI is built using Electron and Go using the Astilectron app framework.

Forking

In the spirit of open source we'll be making it really simple to fork and brand the miner for your own coin. Some structural changes need to be made to simplify the process. Subscribe to issue #3 to follow the progress on this guide.
