This information was auto-extracted from the GitHub repository and may be incomplete or out of date. Always refer to the subnet's GitHub repository for the latest instructions.
Miners are off-chain marketing participants; hardware requirements not specified in validator documentation as miners do not run this code.
Minimum 1 core @ 2.6 GHz, 2 cores recommended; no GPU required
Register your hotkey on Bittensor Subnet 16 (mainnet) to enable validation. Use --netuid 368 for testnet.
btcli subnet register --netuid 16
Create directory and download Docker Compose configuration file (recommended method)
mkdir bitads && cd bitads && curl -L -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FirstTensorLabs/BitAds/refs/heads/main/docker-compose.yml
Copy example environment file and configure WALLET_NAME, WALLET_HOTKEY, NETUID (16 for mainnet, 368 for testnet), SUBTENSOR_NETWORK (finney or test)
cp env.example .env && nano .env
Start validator in background using Docker Compose
docker compose up -d
Monitor validator logs to verify it is syncing and processing campaigns(optional)
docker compose logs -f validator
Alternative manual setup: clone repository, create virtual environment, and install dependencies(optional)
git clone https://github.com/FirstTensorLabs/BitAds && cd BitAds && python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt
Run validator manually (without Docker); replace wallet name and hotkey with your credentials(optional)
python neurons/validator.py --netuid 16 --subtensor.network finney --wallet.name <YOUR_WALLET> --wallet.hotkey <YOUR_HOTKEY>
