Prerequisites

• Ubuntu Linux system (20.04 LTS or newer)
• Root access or sudo privileges
• Internet connection
• A minimum of 0.005 ETH on Eclipse network

Installation

Step 1: Install Rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Follow the prompts (select option 1 for default installation). Once installed, load Rust into your current shell:

source $HOME/.cargo/env

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev clang

If you encounter Python apt_pkg errors during the update:

sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3-apt

Step 3: Install Solana CLI

sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/v1.18.2/install)"

After installation, update your PATH:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin:$PATH"
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

Verify installation:

solana --version

Wallet Setup

Step 4: Create a Solana Wallet

solana-keygen new --no-passphrase

This creates a keypair at ~/.config/solana/id.json and displays your public key and seed phrase.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Save your public key and seed phrase securely!

Step 5: Get Your Private Key

View your private key (for importing to wallets):

cat ~/.config/solana/id.json

This will display an array of numbers - that's your private key. Example output:

[12,......,144]

Step 6: Install BITZ CLI

cargo install bitz

Step 7: Configure Solana for Eclipse

solana config set --url https://eclipse.helius-rpc.com

Step 8: Fund Your Eclipse Wallet

Before mining, you need at least 0.005 ETH on Eclipse network.

Get your public key:

solana address

Transfer at least 0.005 ETH to this address on the Eclipse network. You can use a bridge to move ETH from Ethereum mainnet or Layer 2 networks to Eclipse via https://app.eclipse.xyz/bridge or https://www.relay.link/bridge/eclipse. FYI, Backpack wallet supports Eclipse network.

Mining Configuration

For optimal performance, leave 1-2 cores free for system operations.

Starting the Miner

Step 9: Start Mining in a Screen Session

Screen allows the mining process to continue even if you disconnect from your terminal:

screen -S eclipse

Step 10: Begin Mining BITZ

bitz collect

Before starting the mining process, you can configure how many CPU cores to use:

# Set the number of cores based on your system (example uses 8 cores)
bitz collect --cores 8

Managing your screen session:

• To detach from the screen session (keep mining in background):
  • Press Ctrl+A then D
• To reattach to the session later:

  screen -r eclipse

• To terminate the mining session:
  • Reattach to the screen, then press Ctrl+C

Managing Your BITZ

Once mining is active, you can manage your BITZ tokens with these commands:

Check Your Balance

bitz account

Claim Your Mined Tokens

bitz claim

View All Available Commands

bitz -h

Wallet Integration

Importing to Backpack Wallet

1. Copy your private key array from:

   cat ~/.config/solana/id.json

2. In Backpack wallet:

   • Go to Settings > Wallets
   • Select "Import wallet"
   • Choose "Import private key"
   • Paste the array of numbers from your Solana keypair

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue	Solution
Command Not Found Errors	Reinstall Python packages: sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3-apt
Mining Not Starting	Check ETH balance (min 0.005 ETH required)
solana-keygen Not Found	Verify PATH settings: echo $PATH and ensure Solana binaries are included
Connection Issues	Verify Eclipse RPC endpoint: solana config get
Low Mining Rate	Check CPU usage, network connection, and consider adjusting cores

Verifying Eclipse RPC Connection

solana config get

The URL should be set to https://mainnetbeta-rpc.eclipse.xyz/

Optimization Tips

• System Resources: Allocate appropriate CPU cores with the --cores flag
• Uptime: Use screen or tmux to maintain mining sessions during disconnections
• Monitoring: Set up basic system monitoring to track performance
• Thermal Management: Ensure proper cooling for extended mining sessions
• Automation: Consider setting up auto-claim scripts for collected BITZ
• Security: Regularly backup your keypair and seed phrase
