So a few people have been having trouble getting to grips with mining this new and amazing crypto-currency. So I thought I would write a short guide for you all. This guide is for CPU mining on a windows machine however, with a couple modifications, it can be applied to mac and linux to.
Step 1. Head over to this forum post to download an optimized version of cpuminer that we will be using to mine with.
Step 2. Extract the zip into a folder where you will set it up, I personally chose to place this on my desktop and call it "Doge Miner".
Step 3. Head over to a mining pool and sign up using the registration form. There is a great poll with an up-to-date list of Dogecoin pools and how well they are rated over in this forum post which should help you out.
Step 4. After you have registered you need to create a worker, go to the "My Workers" page and create a new one with the username "1" and the password "x".
Step 5. This is where it starts to differ for mac and linux. On Windows open up notepad and type the following in, replacing the bits in caps with the corresponding information.
So, for example, if I was using the doge.cryptovalley.com pool and my username was cainy393, my worker name was 1 and my worker pass was x my batch file would look as follows:
(The pause is not needed, i simply put it in just in case something doesn't work and then you can see what the error message says before the window closes.)
You can find the port of your pool by checking the "Getting Started" page. It is usually 3333.
Obviously this process is slightly different on mac and linux, but you want a file that will execute the minerd program with the parameters above still the same, which shouldn't be too difficult top figure out for you.
Step 6. Save this as a file that will execute in your commands line, on windows this is a batch (.bat file). So, on Windows, click file > save as and then type run.bat in the file name box (you can call it anything but i like run).
Step 7. Mine away! Double click your run.bat file to start mining and watch the Doge start rolling in. If you have any questions or issues feel free to leave a reply and I will do what I can to help. Thanks!
If you're feeling generous then maybe you can mine using my worker and mine me a few doge :p using the credentials below:
