Hi everyone, I would really like to mine this one. But I don't know what to do. I'm not a programmer or a developer... I'm just an Art teacher who happens to like cryptos. I'm also new to this... May I ask someone to make a step by step dumb down tutorial on how to mine Magacoin?
Here's the info for my PC:
OS: Windows 8.1
processor: Intel Core i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Ram: 16 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
I would really appreciate if someone help me how to mine this... thank you very much!
1. Download the windows wallet. Run it and let it sync. Shut it down.
2. Make a new configuration file or change the one that is already in the file folder C:/local disk/Users/(your user name/AppData/Roaming/Magacoin. Use the examples in this thread.
3. Download the miner. Now, you can either run it from the windows command line using the code from earlier in this thread or make a batch file, like earlier in this thread, in the same folder as where you unzipped the miner files.
My conf file:
server=1
rpcuser=******
rpcpassword=******
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
My bat file:
minerd.exe -o
http://127.0.0.1:5332 -u ****** -p ****** --coinbase-addr=(your wallet address here)
4. Start the wallet and let it sync again with the new conf file. Shut it down and restart once more.
5. Start the miner. It should show you the hashes per thread now. If you get some error messages, go back and check your batch and configuration files and make sure the information matches in each file.
