Bitmark has an inter-block time target of 2 minutes (Beta=120 seconds).

In order to achieve this block time with 8 algos contributing, each algo’s mining difficulty is independently governed by DGWv3 to achieve a 16 minute inter-block (Beta=960 seconds).

Setting the Reference Node’s Mining Algorithm

It can be set manually via command-line client bitmark-cli (here aliased to ‘marks’, here setting the mining algo to Argon2d:

marks setminingalgo 3

or,

via configuration file setting in ‘ ~/.bitmark.ionf ‘ :

miningalgo = 3

Note: the conf file parser only recognizes numeric codes for the proof-of-work algorithm; pow_algo_id;

Solo Mining

The client is able to mine

setgenerate true

cpuminer -a -o http://localhost: -u -p -t –coinbase-addr=

Your node’s mining algo must be set either on startup by the bitmark.ionf configuration fileminingalgo=3or through a CLI RPC commandbitmark-cli setminingalgo 3
