Video Tutorial: Terminal Walkthrough

A real, unedited terminal recording covering the full setup end to end: downloading and starting csd on testnet, running the cs-stratum-bridge setup wizard, and pointing cs-miner at the bridge. Every command below actually ran — including the miner connecting live and submitting accepted shares through the bridge.

This complements the written guides — see Getting Started with Mining and OPoI Mining with cs-stratum-bridge for the full reference.

What's shown

1. csd (testnet) — download the release binary, write a minimal cs.conf, start the daemon, confirm it's up over RPC.
2. cs-stratum-bridge — download the latest release, run it once with no .env yet to trigger the interactive setup wizard, answer each prompt (upstream pool, csd RPC credentials, the OPoI stake address, API key), and pick a UTXO as stake collateral.
3. cs-miner — point it at the bridge instead of a pool directly; the recording shows it connecting and PoW shares being accepted in real time.

The daemon and stake address used here are a small, disposable testnet demo account — not a real deployment. Substitute your own csd RPC credentials, addresses, and pool address throughout.
