A while ago I tried entering a hackathon with a small team on this concept I had centered around the idea of mining cryptocurrency while riding a bike. We lost. I stumbled upon this project again, and since it is mostly open and the tutorials are available, I thought, "why not use this for Lonero?" Hence, this repurpose or rebranding of sorts was born. Welcome to the tutorial for a "Kinetic Energy Generator for Crypto Mining: Lonero Edition".

Run the Lonero Daemon Locally:
gh repo clone Lonero-Team/Lonero-Beta
OR git clone https://github.com/Lonero-Team/Lonero-Beta.git
cd Lonero-Beta
./forknoted --config-file configs/lonero.conf
Run the GUI Wallet:
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade
$ apt-get install qtbase5-dev libssl-dev cmake git libboost1.58-all-dev build-essential g++
$ git clone https://github.com/Lonero-Team/Lonero-Wallet-2.0
$ cd Lonero-Wallet-2.0/
$ cmake CMakeLists.txt
$ make -j 8
$ cd Lonero-Wallet-2.0/
$ make -j 8OR
Create or Connect to a Pool: I recommend that you follow the guide here or run a pool locally and connect to stratum. Ultimately, you can also connect to a remote node.
Flash Microcontroller: For Chip, see documentation here
Node Connectivity: After installing Chip's operating system, I recommend setting up a local daemon or peer that connects to a local daemon. Then you can configure mining via upstart or while the microcomputer is on. Also, you can integrate a basic USB BIOS key or cold storage to store the validated hash for submission/storing.
