I wanna go solomine KDC but having tough time getting started - anyone wanna help me. puullllllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeee
what you need to do to solo mine..
*download the wallet. *run it once. you run it once so that the wallet creates a root folder located on the roaming folder. usually found here
C:\Users\(your own computer username)\AppData\Roaming\Klondikecoin
Note that "appdata" is a hidden folder and you might not see it. you will need to have "show hidden folders" enabled.
here is a quick google search
http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/articles/INF12729*
close it, move it.after you run it once , close it. Then move the wallet and any additional files that were inside it, at the klondikecoin folder as located above.
*create the .conf file. in order to solomine you will need to create a configuration file. you can easily do this by creating a .txt file and editing the .txt file and then saving it with .conf . So again: inside the klondikecoin folder. right mouse click--->new--->text document. this will create a text document and will highlight it and it will be in "rename"mode. rename the .txt file as "klondikecoin" then double click it. it should be empty. if not, erase any text in there. then copy paste the .conf info posted by OP in the first page :
rpcuser=
klondikecoinrpcrpcpassword=
somepasswordrpcport=
56679addnode=kdc.criptoe.com
addnode=88.208.205.38
addnode=88.208.205.216
addnode=88.208.206.55
server=1
daemon=1
You can change the
user name and
password as you want them to be.
then save the file by clicking file--->save . Once you saved it as a text click again file--->save as and type : "klondikecoin.conf" at the file name box then select "all files(*)" option from the save as types box. this will save the text file into a configuration file.
*open the wallet again *let it synch.
meanwhile you can start the next step.
*create the batch file. almost like the steps above. create a text document with this running commands inside :
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o localhost:
56679 -u
klondikecoinrpc -p
somepasswordsave this as "
klon solomine.bat" file as we did before. you can name it as you wish as long as its saved as
.bat file
*run it!Once the wallet is fully synched, you can start mining by running this batch file by simply double clicking.
again remember few things:
every time you edit your
.conf file , you must close and then reopen the wallet for it to take effect.
you can not run the cgminer
.bat file if the
ports are not matching
you will not finding any blocks unless the wallet is fully synched
and the most important one. your wallet needs to be running all the time while you solo mine. you can't solo mine with a closed wallet
, but RE the changes to KGW and the algo, my advice is not to change anything. That will not fix the coin. The risk of another bad fork far outweighs the benefits of the change. We implemented KGW on back of community advice and support, we can't keep changing backwards and forward.
