Once mainnet is launched, if I get some free time I may create an updated miner...but as of now this miner will no longer work with elastic coin due to recent changes to the protocol.

This is a prototype of a miner for solving XEL work packages. The miner is still in the early stages of development...it is simply a prototype that attempts demonstrate all the functionality of an XEL miner.
*** The GPU miner is highly experimental. If you choose to use it, monitor your cards closely to ensure they don't overheat. ***
The miner build has been tested using GCC in Linux as well as MinGW32 (using GCC) on Windows.
Below are the steps I used to get the miner running on my Raspberry Pi.
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev libudev-dev screen libtool pkg-config libjansson-dev libgmp3-dev
- git clone https://github.com/sprocket-fpga/xel_miner.git
- cd xel_miner
- cd build
- cmake ..
- make install
*** Don't forget to use "make install" and not just "make" ***
To run the Miner using CPU
sudo ./xel_miner -t <num_threads> -P <secret_phrase> -D
To run the Miner using GPU (Note: Crypto & Big Integer ElasticPL jobs are not supported for GPU mining)
sudo ./xel_miner -t <num_threads> -P <secret_phrase> -D --opencl
Use "sudo ./xel_miner -h" to see a full list of options.

- The core of the miner is based on cpuminer
- The ElasticPL / Work Package logic is based on the tireless efforts of Evil-Knievel
