Import Accounts

Import from Aion Kernel keystores

./aion account import <path/to/keystore/files>

And you can find imported keystore files in $BASE/keys/<chainname>

AionR Kernel does not contain any internal miner. External Miner for AionR Kernel can be downloaded on Release page. This miner is recommended for testing purpose. The default stratum port for AionR Kernel is 8008.

./aionminer -l <IP>:<PORT> -t <cpu threads>

Rust Kernel also supports Aion solo mining pool.
