How do I know if I'm mining or not in my wallet? I checked the "Mine Heavycoin" box in options.
Go to the debugwindow under Help and click on the Console tab.
Type getmininginfo and press enter.
You should get a display like this:
{
"blocks" : 127,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 2.67442252,
"reward" : 657,
"vote" : 1,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : 2,
"hashespersec" : 4448,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}
If you see "generate" : true," you are solo mining.
From the same console you can activate solo mining by typing
setgenerate -1
to solo mine with all the processor cores in your computer.
If you only want to mine with 2 cores you can type
setgenerate 2
If you want to stop solo mining type
setgenerate false
You can check the mining operation by going to the Information tab of the Debug window and open the Debug log file with the first button on the bottom (Open).
