Why so? Can the LODA client be run truly offline without the need for an always-on network connection? Keep searchin', Martin ID: 413 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

No, it can't run in offline mode. This is because we need to load data on-demand when the miner found potential matches. ID: 417 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

There is a ruby script for doing the verification and this has to be online. Underneath it uses loda-cpp and calls "lode check" and "loda eval" with a steps parameter. At present, the loda-rust mining flow requires several manual steps, that I want to eliminate. Help with automation is much welcome. ID: 444 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
