INRI CHAIN — OFFICIAL WINDOWS CPU MINER
Proof of Work for Everyone (chainId 3777)

====================================================
OVERVIEW
====================================================

This is the official guide to mine INRI tokens on Windows
using CPU mining.

Follow the steps in the exact order shown below.
Do NOT skip steps.

====================================================
STEP 0 — CLEAN EVERYTHING (REQUIRED)
====================================================

Close all Geth windows.

Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

rd /s /q C:\INRI
mkdir C:\INRI
mkdir C:\INRI\data

Your system is now 100% clean.
No old blockchain, no wrong network, no old accounts.

====================================================
STEP 1 — CREATE A MINING ACCOUNT
====================================================

This is NOT MetaMask.
This is a local Geth account required for mining.

First, create the password file:

Create:
C:\INRI\password.txt

Inside the file, write ONLY:
inri123

Save and close.

Now create the account:

C:\INRI\geth.exe account new --datadir C:\INRI\data --password C:\INRI\password.txt

Save the generated address.
Example:

0x6eF20ab4A856ce5DFAAafb9Feb4DceDa0B443D31

This address will receive your mined INRI.

====================================================
STEP 2 — PLACE REQUIRED FILES
====================================================

Inside C:\INRI\ you MUST have:

geth.exe        (v1.10.26 windows-amd64 ONLY)
genesis.json    (official INRI CHAIN genesis)

IMPORTANT:
• Windows 64-bit only
• If Geth is NOT windows-amd64, STOP here

====================================================
STEP 3 — INITIALIZE GENESIS (ONLY ONCE)
====================================================

Run the command below ONE TIME ONLY:

C:\INRI\geth.exe --datadir C:\INRI\data init C:\INRI\genesis.json

If you see:

Successfully wrote genesis state

✔ Perfect.

WARNING:
Never run this command again.
Running it again will erase your synchronized blockchain.

====================================================
STEP 4 — CREATE THE MINER SCRIPT
====================================================

Create the file:

C:\INRI\miner_real.bat

Edit ONLY the following values:
- COINBASE = your mining address
- miner.threads = number of CPU threads

Do NOT change anything else.

Save the file.

====================================================
STEP 5 — ADD CHAINDATA (FAST SYNC — RECOMMENDED)
====================================================

To avoid syncing from block 0, you can add the official chaindata snapshot.

1. Download the chaindata package
2. Extract the ZIP
3. Copy the folder "chaindata" to:

C:\INRI\data\geth\chaindata

IMPORTANT:
This must be done BEFORE running the miner for the first time.

====================================================
STEP 6 — START MINING
====================================================

Right-click miner_real.bat
→ Run as Administrator

Correct mining logs include:

Commit new sealing work
Successfully sealed new block
Mining succeeded

This confirms you are mining on the REAL INRI CHAIN.

====================================================
MINER CONTROLS
====================================================

Stop mining:
CTRL + C

Start mining again:
Run miner_real.bat

Restart mining:
Close the window and run miner_real.bat again

====================================================
WHAT HAPPENS IF I TURN OFF MY PC?
====================================================

• Mining stops safely
• No data is lost
• Chaindata remains saved

To resume mining:
Run miner_real.bat again.

====================================================
IMPORTANT NOTES
====================================================

• Windows 32-bit is NOT supported
• Use only Geth v1.10.26 windows-amd64
• Genesis must be initialized ONLY ONCE
• Chaindata is optional but strongly recommended
