Simple setup
# clone repository
git clone https://github.com/fx-integral/metahash.git
# change directory
cd metahash
# create python virtual environment
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
# install uv
pip install -U pip wheel uv

uv pip install -e .
# copy .env sample
cp .env.template .env
# edit .env with WALLET_PASSWORD and optionally BITTENSOR_NETWORK
# or unlock wallet interractively by starting the miner
Create a wallet and register the hotkey
# create coldkey
btcli wallet new_coldkey --wallet.name metahash
# create hotkey
btcli wallet new_hotkey --wallet.name metahash --wallet.hotkey minerx
# register hotkey
btcli register --netuid 73 --wallet.name metahash --wallet.hotkey minerx
Run Miner
python neurons/miner.py \
--netuid 73 \
--wallet.name metahash \
--wallet.hotkey minerx \
--subtensor.network "finney" \
--miner.bids.netuids 62 \
--miner.bids.amounts 20.0 \
--miner.bids.discounts 500 \
--axon.port 8091 \
--axon.external_port 8091 \
--logging.debug \
--payment.validators $source-stake-hotkeyA
⚠️ --payment.validators is hotkey where stake will be transferred from (your hotkey or validator hotkey where alpha is staked)⚠️ --miner.bids.discounts is basis points (bps) — not percent.
500 = 5%, 700 = 7%, 900 = 9%.
--axon.port and --axon.external_port are required for communicating with validator and auction participation
