Download & Install the Mining Software

It's like installing any other program! Download the Windows version from GitHub and extract it to a folder on your computer.

# Create a dedicated folder for your bee mkdir C:\Whive cd C:\Whive # Extract whive-22.2.2-win64.zip here # Run whived.exe to start your bee node daemon
Tip: Windows Defender may flag the executable. Add an exception for the Whive folder to avoid interruptions.

Configure Your Web³ Node

Create a configuration file to optimize your Web³ Hive node settings.

# Create whive.conf in your $WHIVE data directory # Usually located at: %APPDATA%\Whive\ server=1 daemon=1 rpcuser=your_username rpcpassword=your_secure_password rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcport=1868
Security: Use a strong, unique password for RPC access. Never share your RPC credentials.

Start Mining & Earn $WHIVE

This is where you start earning! Run the mining software and watch your $WHIVE balance grow. You can later trade your coins for Bitcoin or USDT.

# Open Command Prompt as Administrator cd C:\WHIVE # Start your bee node daemon whived.exe -daemon # Wait for swarm synchronization, then start earning honey rewards whive-cli.exe generate 1 # Check your bee status whive-cli.exe getmininginfo

Install Dependencies

Install required packages for building or running your node to beecome part of the hive.

# Ubuntu/Debian (Ubuntu 22+ required for prebuilt binaries) sudo apt update sudo apt install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils python3 # CentOS/RHEL/Fedora sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" sudo yum install openssl-devel libevent-devel
Note: Prebuilt Linux binaries require Ubuntu 22.04 or newer. For older distributions, compile from source.

3

Configure & Start Node

Set up configuration and start your bee daemon to join the swarm.

# Create data directory mkdir -p ~/.whive # Create configuration file cat > ~/.whive/whive.conf << EOF server=1 daemon=1 rpcuser=miner rpcpassword=$(openssl rand -hex 32) rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcport=1868 gen=1 genproclimit=4 EOF # Start your bee daemon whived -daemon # Check your bee status whive-cli getinfo
4

Monitor Your Bee

Monitor your bee's progress and swarm synchronization.

# Check your bee info whive-cli getmininginfo # Check honey rewards balance whive-cli getbalance # View recent honey reward transactions whive-cli listtransactions # Check swarm connections whive-cli getconnectioncount
1

Install Prerequisites

Install Homebrew and required development tools to set up your bee.

# Install Homebrew (if not already installed) /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" # Install dependencies brew install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config openssl libevent
Note: You may need to install Xcode Command Line Tools: xcode-select --install
2

Download Whive for macOS

Get the macOS binaries from GitHub releases to join the swarm.

# Create directory for your bee mkdir ~/Whive && cd ~/Whive # Download latest macOS release curl -L -O https://github.com/whiveio/whive/releases/download/22.2.2/whive-22.2.2-osx64.tar.gz # Extract files tar -xzf whive-22.2.2-osx64.tar.gz # Make binaries executable chmod +x whive-22.2.2/bin/*

Configure Wallet

Set up your bee configuration for macOS.

# Create data directory mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/Whive # Create configuration file cat > ~/Library/Application\ Support/Whive/whive.conf << EOF server=1 daemon=1 rpcuser=whiveminer rpcpassword=$(openssl rand -hex 24) rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcport=1868 gen=1 genproclimit=2 EOF
macOS Security: You may need to allow the application in System Preferences > Security & Privacy when first running.

Deploy Web³ Infrastructure

Launch your bee daemon and start earning honey rewards.

# Navigate to Whive directory cd ~/Whive/whive-22.2.2/bin # Start your bee daemon ./whived -daemon # Wait for swarm sync, then check your bee status ./whive-cli getmininginfo # Generate new address for honey rewards ./whive-cli getnewaddress

Stuck? Here Are Solutions to Common Mining Problems

Problem: Bee won't sync with swarm

Solution:

  • Ensure your internet connection is stable
  • Check firewall settings - allow your bee through port 8372 (P2P) and 1868 (RPC)
  • Try connecting to specific swarm peers: whive-cli addnode "peer_ip" "add"
  • Delete peers.dat and restart your bee if stuck

Problem: Bee shows 0 hashrate

Solution:

  • Ensure your bee is fully synchronized with the swarm first
  • Check if your bee is active: whive-cli getmininginfo
  • Restart your bee: whive-cli setgenerate true 4
  • Verify CPU isn't overloaded by other processes

Problem: High CPU usage

Solution:

  • Reduce bee activity threads: whive-cli setgenerate true 2
  • Add genproclimit=2 to whive.conf
  • Monitor temperature to prevent overheating
  • Consider running your bee during off-peak hours

Problem: RPC connection failed

Solution:

  • Verify whive.conf has correct RPC settings
  • Ensure daemon is running: ps aux | grep whived
  • Check RPC port isn't blocked: netstat -an | grep 1868
  • Restart daemon if configuration changed

Step 3: Send Your $WHIVE

In your Whive wallet software, click "Send" and paste your DEX-Trade deposit address. Send the $WHIVE you want to trade.

Step 4: Trade on the Exchange

Once your $WHIVE arrives (usually within 30 minutes), go to:
