START A NODE ON WINDOWS
Download the MONEU PACKAGE FOR WINDOWS x86_64 and extract the ZIP file. Double click moneu.exe and a window opens with MONEU blockchain running. Wait for the node to fully sync. Check the sync level from time to time with getblockcount and compare the result with the block explorer. When the node is synced type these commands in the moneu> window.
moneu> createwallet PASSWORD moneu> makenoise PASSWORD moneu> walletunlock PASSWORD moneu> getnewaddress moneu> startmining ADDRESS 4
HARDWARE
Recommended minimum hardware: Windows 10 or 11 or Linux Ubuntu or Debian. You can run the MONEU blockchain on both Windows and Linux. A 256 GB drive gives the blockchain plenty of room for years to come. For smooth and trouble free running you need at least 16 GB of DDR3 RAM or better. The recommended minimum CPU for mining is an Intel i5. It is the chip found in old computers and in almost every cheap used laptop. If you have a gaming PC you can mine coins with your CPU or your graphics card. The choice is yours.
REQUIREMENTS WINDOWS
Minimum requirements for Windows.
Windows 10 or 11 64-bit.
A processor like an old Intel i5 or better.
16 GB of memory.
At least 256 GB of free disk space for many years of the blockchain.
An internet connection that stays on.
For GPU mining a graphics card with OpenCL support.
REQUIREMENTS LINUX
System requirements.
OS: Ubuntu 22.04 or newer or Debian.
Library: Boost 1.74 or newer.
Hardware: an old computer is fine.

RECOMMENDED: OPEN P2P PORT 8327 WINDOWS
Windows Firewall often blocks incoming connections. Opening the P2P port 8327 lets other nodes connect to yours and helps the network.
The easy way. Type firewall in the Start menu and open Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security. Click Inbound Rules then New Rule. Choose Port then TCP and type 8327. Choose Allow the connection then tick all profiles. Give it the name MONEU and click Finish.
With a command. Open PowerShell as administrator and type
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="MONEU" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=8327
If you are behind a home router also forward TCP port 8327 to your computer in the router settings.
Keep port 8328 closed. It is the RPC port for your node and wallet.

MINING
NODES
Start your MONEU node and mine solo.
CARE
Build from a clean slate and delete any old build folder first. When the tests say ALL TESTS DONE the node is ready. Write down the twenty four words the wallet prints and use the same password for the wallet and for the noise file. Building that file takes a few minutes and works the computer hard on purpose so build it on a real machine and not on a virtual one.
Copy the whole wallet folder to another drive with the noise file included. The seed phrase alone will not bring your coins back without it. Keep one wallet per computer and watch the leaf counter shown as noise_leaves_remaining in getwalletinfo. Every payment uses four leaves out of the 1 048 576 your computer made so the file is good for 262 144 payments. When it runs low make a wallet on another computer and send the coins there.
Leave the rpcpassword line out and the node uses a cookie file for RPC access instead. If you set your own password make it long and lock the config file down. The node can run through Tor if you want it to.
SHIELD
Only you can send your coins. If somebody works out your private key even with a quantum computer they still cannot move anything without your noise file and that file never leaves your computer.
You can keep it on the same drive as the node or copy it to an external drive and plug that in only when you pay somebody.
Anyone can build an external device that collects entropy and feed it into their wallet.
