# Beginner's Guide to Collecting Bitz on Eclipse ## What is Bitz? Collect $BITZ by breaking PoW blocks ## Installation Guide ### Prerequisites 1. Make sure you have a Eclipse wallet set up and funded with ETH on Eclipse 2. Have a computer with terminal access ### Setup Steps >Windows users: you must first install WSL (see [Install Dependencies](https://solana.com/docs/intro/installation#install-dependencies)). Then run the preceding command in the Ubuntu (Linux) terminal. 1. Install Rust: ``` curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh ``` 2. Install Solana CLI: ``` curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://solana-install.solana.workers.dev | bash ``` >Add Solana to your PATH (the installer will provide instructions for this). After installation, you should see output like the following: ``` Installed Versions: Rust: rustc 1.85.0 (4d91de4e4 2025-02-17) Solana CLI: solana-cli 2.1.14 (src:3ad46824; feat:3271415109, client:Agave) Anchor CLI: anchor-cli 0.30.1 Node.js: v23.8.0 Yarn: 1.22.1 ``` 3. Create a local keypair/Wallet ```bash solana-keygen new ``` This will create a new keypair and store it in the default location (`~/.config/solana/id.json`). To specify a custom file path: ```bash solana-keygen new -o /path/to/keypair.json ``` Take note of your public key (displayed after generation). >Eclipse uses solana-cli, i.e. the balance you see of ETH of your keypair will be denoted in 'sol' but it's actually Eclipse ETH 4. Set the rpc to Eclipse mainnet: ``` solana config set --url https://bitz-000.eclipserpc.xyz/ ``` 5. Install Bitz using Cargo: ``` cargo install bitz ``` > This might take 5 mins to install, its not stuck and nothing is wrong until you see an actual error. </details> ## Using Bitz >Fund your wallet with a minimum balance of ```0.0005 ETH``` before hand ### Basic Commands - Collect bitz: `bitz collect` - Claim your bitz: `bitz claim` - Check your balance: `bitz account` - Look up all commands: `bitz -h` or `bitz --help` ## Tips for Beginners - Run commands regularly to maximize collection - Join the [Eclipse community discord](https://discord.com/invite/eclipse-fnd) for support
