Valora Mining

What is Volara?

Volara is a decentralized data marketplace for X data, built on the Vana network. We empower users by giving them ownership of their data and enabling them to earn from it.

How Does It Work?

Volara incentizes ‘miners’ to gather data from X. We gather all the data we can, and make it available to anyone who wants to pay for it.

Why Do People Want to Mine?

Miners are paid in Volara ($VOL) and are eligible for airdrops of Vana ($VANA).

Why Does X Data Matter?

X data is amoung the most valuable data on the internet. It is used for training AI models, and is a valuable resource for researchers, journalists, and businesses around the world.

X data is prohibitively expensive to access through the official APIs, rendering a walled garden around our data. Volara is working to change that.

Quickstart

The easiest way to run the Volara miner is with Docker — a containerization solution that manages the miner dependencies.

Before we begin, the following details are required during the setup:

1. X username and password, for access to the Twitter API (Better to be a secondary X account)
2. Google OAUTH, for storing your mined X data in Google Drive
3. Metamask wallet privatekey with funded faucet on Moksha Testnet. Faucet Link

• The Vana faucet can fund your address here

Add the Vana Network to Metamask

You can add the Vana network to your wallet to see Vana and Volara tokens here

One-step install

• Creta a dedicated screen

screen -S vollora

Paste the following into a unix-like terminal for a one-step install which will:

1. Install Docker
2. Pull the latest miner image
3. Run the miner

[ -f "volara.sh" ] && rm volara.sh; curl -s -o volara.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/volaradlp/minercli/refs/heads/main/run_docker.sh && chmod +x volara.sh && ./volara.sh

• This script will prompt you to enter your your EVM private KEY.

• In the next step, you will need to provide your Google OAuth for storing your mined X data in Google Drive.
• The link will be displayed in your terminal. Simply copy and paste it into any browser. After logging in, copy your OAuth code and paste it back into the terminal.

• Now, enter your Twitter/X username credentials. You will be prompted to provide your verification code. Check your email for the code and paste it into the terminal.

• Now, your mining has started. To detach from the screen, press Ctrl + A followed by D.
• To renter to that screen use the following command.

screen -r vollora

• To check the log you can use the below docker command.

docker logs -f competent_dirac

Check Miner Points:

• Go to the Valora dashboard and login with your X account to view your mining details.
