Crypto-Noso/Farmers/ARM

Noso Coin Miner

Quickstart

• Windows
• Linux
• MacOs
• Raspberry Pi
• Android

Introduction

noso-go is a command line tool for mining the cryptocurrency Noso Coin. Written using Google's Go language, noso-go's goals are as follows:

• Free to use
• Highly concurrent
• Well optimized
• Cross platform
• Easy to use

noso-go is currently confirmed to run on the following platforms

• Windows (32 and 64 bit)
• Linux (32 and 64 bit)
• MacOS (64 bit)
• Raspberry Pi (arm64)
• Google Pixel 2 (arm64)
• Google Pixel 5 (arm64)

Understanding the output

Future version of noso-go will have a more user friendly output. For now, you should only need to pay attention to the PING and PONG lines:

Chrome/Windows/MacOS Warnings

When downloading the release, you will probably get a warning from your browser, operating system and/or anti-virus software that the release is unsafe. This is because, as of this writing, this project is unable to sign the binaries with trusted certificates, so your browser/OS/AV immediately detects it as an unsigned binary and flags it as a potential threat. You have a couple options to overcome this:

1. First and foremost: inspect the code yourself and make sure you are comfortable with it
2. Build the binary yourself, and your OS wont complain about it. See the Building section below for more info
3. Instruct your browser/OS/AV that you accept the risks
   • Chrome:
     • Click the ^ next to Discard and select Keep
   • Windows MSE
     • (Not recommended) Turn off real-time protection:
     • (Recommended) Create an exclusion zone for noso-go releases, and download them to that location:
   • MacOS
     • The first time your run the binary you will get a popup like so. Click Cancel:
     • Open your System Preferences app and click on the Security & Privacy icon
     • There should be a warning on the bottom about the noso-go application being blocked. Click the Allow Anyway button:
   • Linux
     • So far I have seen no reports of any flavor of Linux complaining about the binaries. If you come across a problem, please open an Issue in this repo and I will add it to the README

Building

Prerequisites

• The Go Compiler (I am using go1.16.3, however most older versions should work fine)

Steps

1. Download the source code or clone this repo
2. Determine your target OS and Architecture
   • OS options are: windows, linux or darwin
   • Architecture options are: 386, amd64, arm, or arm64
3. Compile (various examples below):
   • Windows: $ GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o noso-go main.go
   • MacOS: $ GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 go build -o noso-go main.go
   • Linux: $ GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o noso-go main.go
   • ARM: $ GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 go build -o noso-go main.go
