Topic: Desktop Wallets (Read 87 times)

Hi, I'm playing around with different CPU mining options and I am compeltely new to Desktop wallets. I recently started using unMineable and XMRig. With unMineable I'm mining Doge coin and I setup a desktop wallet with Exodus. With XMRig I'm mining Monero and I setup a Monero wallet.

In Exodus, I just ran the program added dodge coin to the list and grabbed an address for doge (i did secure it with passwords and and backed it up). unMineable is running at a good rate (10kh) and the payout is at 30 Doge coins.

I set the Monero wallet up in Advance mode...maybe the first mistake.
I updated the Joson file with the wallet info and pool, pool.supportxmr.com:443 for XMRig and just ran the exe. its running...its doing stuff. but the wallet is still Syncing and I'm not sure if I set this up correctly. When I attempt to close it its asking about the local node running in the background.

Q: Did i miss anything with this setup?
Q: Do i really want my system to act as a node and download the hash in advanced mode in the Monero wallet?
Q: Do I have to leave the wallet open for it to get the deposit in my wallet?
Q: there are mining options within the Manara wallet should I be using this?
Q: should I be waiting for the Manara wallet to sync fully before mining with XMRig

Im looking at Cudo miner as well.
