Introduction

Here, we’ll be running an instance of quai-gpu-miner, the implementation of a Quai Network ProgPOW miner, on Clore.AI. Clore.AI is a cloud compute marketplace that provides access to a distributed network of GPU computining nodes from anywhere in the world.

​
Requirements

In order to run the quai-gpu-miner on Clore.AI and mine valid blocks, you’ll need the following:

Synced go-quai node

Configured Stratum proxy

Clore.AI Rental

​
Environment Setup

​
Clore Account

Start by creating or logging into your Clore account.
After logging into your account, head to the Marketplace tab. Here, you’ll be able to see all of the available compute options available for rental.
Select a compute option and click on Rental. You’ll be taken to a configuration page where you’ll be able to configure your compute with quai-gpu-miner.

​
Configure Clore Instance

On the configuration page, head to the Select Image section and fill in the Custom Image section with the following: 
quainetwork/quai-gpu-miner-run
Scroll down to the Configure Order section. We’ll be filling in the environment variables for the quai-gpu-miner-run image. You’ll need to add the following variables:
  • PLATFORM
    • For NVIDIA cards, set this value to U.
    • For AMD cards, set this value to G.
  • STRATUM_IP The IP address of your Stratum proxy.
  • STRATUM_PORT The port of your Stratum proxy. The default stratum port is 3333.
You will need to port forward the stratum port 3333 if you are not also running a stratum proxy on the same machine.
After filling out the environment variables section, you can click the Create button to create your Clore instance of quai-gpu-miner. This will start the mining process and charge your account for compute.

​
Managing Your Instance

Once your miner is running, you can use the My orders tab to manage your Clore instance. You can verify that your instance is running by checking the miner logs through Clore or via your stratum logs.
