Can someone help on how to get minerd working on windows?
Tried with BTC wallet and Yenten wallet code (from the yenten gui wallet) into the command prompt and they do appear to both be accepted by I still get the error. I made the config file too, the yenten.conf.txt and also made one yenten.cnf in the appdata/roaming/yenten folder and it didn't seem to help.
E:\yen>minerd.exe -t 2 -a yescryptr16 -o localhost:9982 -u username -p password --coinbase-addr=YZXPxNqNgAAt8z1xTz8NNFgB4ZazZrJFuC
[2017-10-29 08:12:25] 2 miner threads started, using 'yescryptr16' algorithm.
[2017-10-29 08:12:27] HTTP request failed: Failed to connect to localhost port 9982: Connection refused
[2017-10-29 08:12:27] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 sec
Your file name should be yenten.conf and not yenten.conf.txt
So my windows minerd seems to be stuck here now:
E:\yen>minerd.exe -t 1 -a yescryptr16 -o localhost:9982 -u yentenrpc -p EJuuNSAiPD48PwGrfd***************** --coinbase-addr=YZXPxNqNgAAt8z1xTz8NNFgB4ZazZrJFuC
[2017-10-29 08:43:00] 1 miner threads started, using 'yescryptr16' algorithm.
It has been here for like 10 mins now.
Here is what I did to get this far:
got user and password from running yenten-cli and yentend using command prompt from the folder where the yenten-qt wallet is located.
In C:\Users\MD\AppData\Roaming\Yenten I created a yenten.conf file. I was able to create it in notepad++ and it worked; in the details I can see if is a CONF file. using notepad it was a TXT file.
In the yenten.conf file I pasted this:
daemon=1
server=1
gen=1
port=9981
rpcport=9982
rpcuser=yentenrpc
rpcpassword=EJuuNSAiPD48PwGrfd****************
alertnotify=echo %s | mail -s "Yenten Alert" *****@gmail.com
Addnode=133.130.66.167:9981
Addnode=52.3.229.122:9981
The stars are just redacted info.
I saved this file then restarted my yenten wallet. I then navigated to my minerd folder in command prompt and pasted:
minerd.exe -t 1 -a yescryptr16 -o localhost:9982 -u yentenrpc -p EJuuNSAiPD48PwGrfd**************** --coinbase-addr=YZXPxNqNgAAt8z1xTz8NNFgB4******
PAUSE
The coinbase addr is my recieving address in my yenten wallet found by in the gui wallet going to File > recieving addresses
Is there anything I forgot? Do I have to create an actual .bat file and launch that instead of the command prompt for minerd?
Thanks for your help.]
PS: I am syncing monero currently would that be holding up my mining?
