The Fair Crypto Foundation, with Jack Levin at the front, is launching XEN Crypto on Solana with the ticker name SolXEN. It’s not the first time that the XEN community activates the miners to look for hashes, but now they look specifically for the string 420 and 42069. This operation aims to empower Solana users to mine their own XEN and earn the XN airdrop on the soon-to-launch X1 blockchain. Here’s a guide on how to mine solXEN and get XN.
What is SolXEN
XEN Crypto is a first principles token deployed on 13 EVM-compatible chains. This is the first time XEN launches on a non-EVM-compatible chain and its Solidity code has been adapted to Rust. The AMP is adjusted to 300 which significantly accelerates solXEN’s disinflationary effect. The AMP decreases by 0.3% every 100,000 blocks and it will take 139 days to mine out the whole supply. The miners look for number 420 within the hashes and for 42069 to find superhashes. Each time 420 is found, solXEN token is generated according to this formula:
420hash * AMP = solXEN
Every time a superhash is found it generates a solXEN with a 250 multiplier. Successfuly finding a 420/42069 hash gives users the airdrop of XN which is the native coin of the X1 blockchain. X1 is a hybrid PoW/PoS network that is set to launch in the coming months. The XEN minters are already generating their XN airdrops through XEN burns and other means. Detailed information about solXEN can be found here.
How to install solXEN miner
Open your Linux terminal and follow the instructions to install Rust, Solana, create and fund wallets on the Solana fork – Xolana.
Install Solana and follow the instructions in the terminal window to export the path
sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/v1.18.4/install)"
Create wallets, save the keys, and remember the directory
solana-keygen new --derivation-path --no-passphrase -o ~/.config/solana/id0.json
Repeat this task for each of the wallets
solana-keygen new --derivation-path --no-passphrase -o ~/.config/solana/id1.json
solana-keygen new --derivation-path --no-passphrase -o ~/.config/solana/id2.json
solana-keygen new --derivation-path --no-passphrase -o ~/.config/solana/id3.json
Connect to the Xolana testnet
solana config set -u http://69.10.34.226:8899
Fund each of your wallets with test SOL
solana airdrop 100 <pubkey of id0.json>
solana airdrop 100 <pubkey of id1.json>
solana airdrop 100 <pubkey of id2.json>
solana airdrop 100 <pubkey of id3.json>
Install Rust
cd
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
Set path and follow further instructions in the terminal
source $HOME/.cargo/env
Update Rust
rustup update
Install the solXEN miner
git clone https://github.com/FairCrypto/sol-xen.git
cd sol-xen
git checkout epsilon
Create an .env file
nano .env
Paste in the following settings making sure to use the correct path to your wallet in the .config directory
USER_WALLET=../.config/solana/id.json
ANCHOR_PROVIDER_URL=http://69.10.34.226:8899
PROGRAM_ID=Dx7zjkWZbUStmhjo8BrhbprtQCcMByJgCTEC6TLgkH8n
DEBUG=*PROGRAM_ID_MINTER=8HTvrqZT1JP279DMLT5SfNfGHxUeznem4Bh7zy92sWWx
Save the file and run the miner using your own Ethereum wallet
export USER_WALLET=../.config/solana/id0.json # change the path if necessary. Adjust the fee as you mine
cargo run --package sol-xen-client -- --address 0x00000000000000000000000 --command mine --kind 0 -u1150000 -r10000 --fee 1
Open other 3 windows and run this command for each kind
export USER_WALLET=../.config/solana/id1.json # change the path if necessary
cargo run --package sol-xen-client -- --address 0x00000000000000000000000 --command mine --kind 1 -u1150000 -r10000
export USER_WALLET=../.config/solana/id2.json # change the path if necessary
cargo run --package sol-xen-client -- --address 0x00000000000000000000000 --command mine --kind 2 -u1150000 -r10000
export USER_WALLET=../.config/solana/id3.json # change the path if necessary
cargo run --package sol-xen-client -- --address 0x00000000000000000000000 --command mine --kind 3 -u1150000 -r10000
Now mint your solXEN tokens from the hashes you mined
solana config set --keypair ~/.config/solana/id0.json
spl-token accounts
solana config set --keypair ~/.config/solana/id1.json
spl-token accounts
solana config set --keypair ~/.config/solana/id2.json
spl-token accounts
solana config set --keypair ~/.config/solana/id3.json
spl-token accounts
