I’m running follower-only miner nodes using the current master branch of the Nockchain repo, following the latest README instructions. I’m not connected to a BTC RPC node, so I’m expecting to join mining after the genesis block is mined and broadcast.
A few key questions I’d appreciate clarification on:
- Will my node auto-sync once genesis is mined?
- Will it detect the genesis block over peer gossip and automatically sync + begin mining epoch 0?
- Or do I need to restart the node / pull a repo update to start mining?
- Will there be a new repo push (binary or logic update) after genesis?
- Do we need to recompile and rebuild from a future commit after block 0 is published?
- Or is the current miner version already capable of syncing and mining as-is?
- Are there any known edge cases that might prevent my follower node from starting automatically after genesis?
- For example: stale peers, missing socket files,
.data.nockchaincorruption, or others?
I just want to confirm that the miner will sit idle until genesis, then auto-sync and begin mining — or if any manual steps are required at that point.
Thanks in advance to anyone from the core team or early testers who can clarify!
