# 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
