I think it displays the smallest unit. So, 51375000000000000000 = 51.375 SHF

Here a simple and quick guide for mining/wallet setup for SHIFT:

First you will need the following to download:

Wallet daemon/CLI wallet and GUI wallet: https://github.com/shiftcurrency/shift-executables

Etherminer: http://cryptomining-blog.com/5612-updated-ethminer-0-9-41-opencl-and-cuda-for-windows/

Next you will need to create bat files to simplify start ups of the wallet and miner:

Create a new txt file. After that, then change the extension to ".bat", instead of ".txt". Then right click and edit it to type in the script to execute the file, then save.

Once these bat files are created, you just need to double click on them to execute them. No longer need to use CMD to run them.

If you don't feel like creating the bat files, here's a link: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4GYLGZ1qlo_X3JPQXdaQ2x3ajQ&usp=sharing

STEP 1:
1a) Create a bat file by making a txt file and renaming the extension to bat. (Note: make sure you have windows unhide the extension, otherwise this won't work)
If you don't feel like creating the bat files, here's a link: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4GYLGZ1qlo_X3JPQXdaQ2x3ajQ&usp=sharing

1b) Enter the following script in the bat file by right clicking on the bat file and editing it: shift-windows-amd64 --rpc --rpcaddr "localhost" --rpcport 53901 console

1c) Execute the bat file by double clicking it. Don't create an account yet, it will be created later in the GUI wallet.




STEP 2:
2a) Double click on the ShiftWallet.exe (Note I put the file in the same directory as the wallet daemon/CLI wallet)

2b)Click on the "New Account" tab.

2c)Enter you password.

2d)Let the wallet sync for a bit before you go to the next step to mine. Let the GUI wallet have full bars to make sure it's synced.



STEP 3:
3a) Create a bat file by making a txt file and renaming the extension to bat. (Note: make sure you have windows unhide the extension, otherwise this won't work)
If you don't feel like creating the bat files, here's a link: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4GYLGZ1qlo_X3JPQXdaQ2x3ajQ&usp=sharing

3b) Enter the following script in the bat file by right clicking on the bat file and editing it:
For a local wallet: etherminer -F http://127.0.0.1:53901 -G
For a wallet on the network when running multiple gpu mining rigs: -F http://(IP Address of Wallet, ie 192.168.1.1):53901 -G

3c) Now double click on the bat file and you should start mining. Be patient solo mining will always take a while before a block is found or you can join a pool instead.



Final Note: Make sure that at least the bat files for the wallet and the miner are running to mine properly. Also, that you make sure that the wallet is synced before mining. There is also a glitch with unlocking with the GUI wallet, for now until the issue is resolved, use the CLI command to unlock the account.

Here is also command you can run in the CLI wallet:

List your local accounts:

    personal.listAccounts

Show balance of an account: (this is not fully rebranded for shift yet)

    eth.getBalance("Shiftbase/Account Address, ie. 0x1234...")

Unlock account:

    personal.unlockAccount("Shiftbase/Account Address, ie. 0x1234...")

Create a new account:

    personal.newAccount("Password")

Get information about blockchain sync:

    admin.chainSyncStatus

Show connected peers:

    admin.peers

Show mining hashrate:

    miner.hashrate

Could be an issue with the GUI wallet

All of this windows stuff is brand new. The main program being used by Ethereum is the geth client. It looks like geth is working fine for you but the windows wallet is having problems.

Hello, is it weird that in my wallet my balance is 0 and when I type in console eth.getBalance("myAdress") it says I have 51375000000000000000(=51 SHF, right)?
Does it need time to update or am I did something wrong?
I am on Windows 8 x64

Thank you
I'll confirm when received Edit: Received!
Also I can stay active even when mobile!

Will send you 100 Shf (more to come if you continue). Thx. We really need it right now so..

I've been trying my best to answer questions in the thread
Also working more on my mining guide

We are looking for people who can help out answering questions in the thread.

We are looking for people that can make manuals with text and pictures that are easy to comprehend.

You will be paid a good bounty for these tasks. We really need the help since we have to focus on development Would be apriciated.

Kind and humble regards

The devs need some sleep. They deserve it.

wallet exibe Unknown error

I personally just make a bat file to run the wallet daemon.


If I want the console mode to work via bat file, I can't input the --shiftbase in the bat. It makes the console not response to command line inputs.

SHIFT keeps rollin' all day and night.

Thanks. Since you did the discovery yourself (even that we knew about it) you deserve a bount. Shift will partly be distributed by it.

Account?

fine thanks!

its C:\Users\?\AppData\Local\Ethash

appdata\roaming\ethash is where geth generate DAG files
C:\Users\?\AppData\Local\Ethash is where ethminer generate DAG files

https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Ethash-DAG

In other words, yes it is ok. The directory will change in next minor release. But it has no impact on shift nor ethereum.

Great! 



 I'm mining with a MSI R9 270. I'm getting ~18.50 MH/s.OC to core clock 1050 and memory clock on 1500.Could I get more speed from this GPU? Is anyone mining with this GPU? 

ethminer will use DAG file generated in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Ethash\
those are good for shift and ethereum?!
cause the miner use the same file(s)!

nevermind

Completely true! I will send the bounty in an hour. Thx man, we need these reports:)

Please read the OP and follow the instructions for windows,
