Mining

This article refers to mining blocks to the Townforge blockchain, not mining stone via stonecutters.

Blocks discovered by miners in Townforge network propagate the game state by appending game transactions to the current list of game events. Mining can be done via the native Townforge daemon (command 'start_mining'), or launched via the the game menu for 'Start mining' (which sends an RPC command to the daemon). Mining rewards follow the reward scheme from Monero, with tail emission.

Notably, Townforge supports merge-mining with the cryptocurrency Monero. To this end, an official pool for mining Townforge Gold and Monero is up at:
