- Download Utopia P2P ecosystem and get your private key. You will need it to point out the mining bot where to store your Cryptons. Your account gets a private wallet that will hold all of your minted coins. Installation instruction is available here.
You can get help in setting up the bot in the ecosystem itself - in the Utopia mining group.
2. Download Utopia Mining Bot
- Setup the Utopia Mining Bot on a virtual private server VPS or VM or VDS with Linux OS;
- Connect to the VPS or VM or VDS through SSH (use PuTTY app for this);

- Click “Yes” to add the new server’s key;
- Connect login as root and copy the password you’ve received from the VPS provider into the clipboard;
- Paste it into the password field of the PuTTY SSH session (you can do this by right-clicking a single time or by entering your password manually);
- When you’ve logged in successfully, you should follow the commands as demonstrated in the video above;
- Then, open your Utopia account;
- Copy the public key of your master;
- Congratulations. Your mining bot is successfully started.
*Note: It may take several hours for your mining bot to establish enough peer connections to become active on the network, and begin earning Crypton rewards in the uWallet of your master client.
Please note that on 1 PC you can run up to 50 mining bots, in case if you use LCX or Docker
