A multithreaded DUCO Miner for the Playstation 3.
This application is a port of my DUCO miner 'nxducominer' for the Nintendo Switch.
While it may be tempting to leave a PlayStation 3 system running 24/7, I strongly advise against doing so. Even the newest PS3 hardware is now well over a decade old, and prolonged continuous operation puts significant stress on its components. I am in no way responsible for any damage, hardware failure, or data loss that may occur from running your PS3 in this manner. Proceed at your own risk.
Upon first launch, ps3ducominer will create ps3ducominer.txt in /dev_hdd0/tmp with the values below. Open the file and set the values accordingly.
| Key | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
node |
strnone |
The IP address of the node to connect to. Can be found manually here. If left empty the application will use http://server.duinocoin.com/getPool to find one. |
port |
intnone |
The port of the node. If this is left blank, the application will find a node using the method above. Regardless if the node is set. |
wallet_address |
str |
The address/username of your duinocoin wallet. |
miner_key |
strnone |
As specified in Wallet > Settings > Miner Key. Leave blank if not applicable. |
difficulty |
str |
The starting difficulty. The node will automatically negotiate the difficulty. Valid starting difficulties are LOW MEDIUM NET and EXTREME. LOW is recommended for this application. EXTREME is not used anywhere officially. More information on difficulties can be found here. |
rig_id |
str |
A friendly name for your miner which displays in the wallet. |
iot |
bool |
Either true or false. Upload IoT data to your wallet (CPU & RSX Temperatures, Fan Speed). |
threads |
int |
Number of threads to mine on. Between 1 and 3*. |
web_dashboard |
bool |
Either true or false. The web dashboard will run on port 8080 of the PS3's IP address. |

To enable remote debugging set these flags in
CFLAGS:
-DDEBUG -DDEBUG_ADDR=\"target_ip\" -DDEBUG_PORT=\"target_port\"You can use the included udpdebug.py or something like nc -u -l -p port to view debugging output.
If you are using PS3LoadX to send .self, .pkg files to the PS3 set -DPS3LOADX in CFLAGS.
You will need to build and install the psl1ght toolchain, including ps3libraries, as well as pthread-emb-ps3.
