Mining Strategies

1. Pure Staking

The simplest approach - stake your tokens and earn passive income.

  • Pros: Low maintenance, predictable returns
  • Cons: Lower rewards than active mining
  • Best for: Long-term holders, passive investors

2. GPU Mining

Provide compute power for AI/ML workloads and earn additional rewards.

  • Pros: Higher rewards, supports the network
  • Cons: Higher hardware costs, more maintenance
  • Best for: Technical users with GPU hardware

3. Authority Mining

Apply to become a trusted authority node (invitation only).

  • Pros: Highest rewards, network influence
  • Cons: High requirements, strict vetting
  • Best for: Established organizations, experienced miners

4. Hybrid Approach

Combine staking with GPU mining for maximum returns.

  • Pros: Diversified income streams
  • Cons: Complex setup, higher initial cost
  • Best for: Experienced miners seeking optimization

Security Best Practices

Important: Never share your private keys or wallet passwords with anyone!

Wallet Security

  • Use a hardware wallet for large stakes
  • Enable two-factor authentication
  • Keep your wallet software updated
  • Backup your wallet securely (offline)
  • Use a dedicated mining wallet

Node Security

  • Keep your operating system updated
  • Use a firewall to restrict access
  • Monitor for unusual activity
  • Use VPN for additional privacy
  • Regular security audits

Operational Security

  • Diversify your stake across multiple nodes
  • Use automated monitoring and alerts
  • Have backup power and internet
  • Document your recovery procedures
  • Join the community for security updates

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Node won't start?
Check your configuration file syntax and ensure all required ports are open. Use ./aitbc-miner check-config to validate your setup.
Low mining rewards?
Ensure your node is online 24/7, check your stake amount, and verify you're running the latest version. Network conditions also affect rewards.
Sync issues?
Try resyncing with ./aitbc-miner sync --reset. Check your internet connection and disk space.
GPU not detected?
Install latest GPU drivers, verify CUDA/OpenCL support, and check ./aitbc-miner gpu check.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I earn mining AITBC?
Earnings vary based on stake amount, network participation, and whether you provide GPU compute. Typical APY ranges from 15-25% for staking, with GPU mining adding additional rewards.
When do I get paid?
Rewards are distributed daily and automatically credited to your wallet. You can withdraw anytime after the initial lock period.
Can I run multiple nodes?
Yes, you can run multiple nodes but each requires separate stakes. This can provide redundancy and potentially higher rewards.
What happens if my node goes offline?
You won't earn rewards while offline, but your stake remains safe. Extended downtime may affect your reputation score.
How do I become an authority node?
Authority nodes require invitation based on community contribution, technical expertise, and stake amount. Apply through the community forum.
