hi guys, newbie & new to mintcoin, looks promising. mining now ! so does it mean as long as i have coins in my wallet & it'll start to mint (generate) coins by itself ?
any kind soul here to guide on how to solo mine ? atm, i'm mining at a pool.
Solo mining any scrypt coin is pretty much identical. If you dont know that, then probably you dont have enough mining power to solo this coin anyway.
just want a proper guidance so that i dont make any mistakes. i think i "may" have enough to solo mine mintcoin atm. have 8mhs+ mining power atm.
8M/hs Scrypt? Holy crap dude.
OK, so it depends on what software you like mining with and your computing environment.
Here's an in-depth guide to mining in Windows with GUIminer
