Internal Mining

When you are running a node, you can turn on the internal miner to mine PoW network. If you want to participate in the PoW network, make sure you enable mining in the config file.

Find <mining> and make sure it is set to true. Change the <miner-address> to an account that you want to use as the coinbase address that will collect the mining rewards!

If you want to disable the internal miner, simply set <mining> to false.
