Banano Folding Headless Client

Folding Guide

This walkthrough is based on the guide on the folding at home webpage, modified slightly for banano.

  1. First, get a username for you wallet at the banano miner website:

    2. https://bananominer.com

    remember both the user name and the team id.

  2. Second, get a passkey from the folding at home site:

    3. The user name you put into the passcode form needs to be the banano user from https://bananominer.com, not your discord username, or any other name.

    Only the banano user from https://bananominer.com

    Otherwise your score will not count.

    If you put in the wrong name and need to redo it, there's a four hour wait per email address. So be careful.

    This increases your score.

  3. follow the below guide:

    4. https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/installation-guides/linux/

  2. granting remote web access

    3. granting remote web access

    Which is basically adding these two lines to the config file /etc/fahclient/config.xml:

    Also remember you are adding your client computer's IP to the config, not the server's ip.

    <allow>192.168.10.100</allow>
    <web-allow>192.168.10.100</web-allow>
