Hello. Thanks for posting the information.
I'm new to this, and while I've some limited experience with setting up batch and conf files, I'm obviously missing something, as I still haven't gotten the batch file correct (mining still suspended), and i did find the conf template a little confusing due to the use of the hash tags that seem to have been either used inconsistently, or I'm just making an error (highly possible).
Before I bost the code I've entered sans sensitive data, I wanted to ask if using an old 856 MH/s BFL FPGA unit would work, since I know that their ASICs work - since both are obviously SHA-256. I could pull one of my slower ASICs offline and not make much of a dent in my BTC operation, but I'm mainly wanting to test this out, since it's likely that I'll migrate to another SHA-256-based coin as my hardware becomes obsolete for BTC mining. So, should the FPGA work as well? Is difficulty already too high for a rig hashing under 1 GH to earn a little coin? I earned ~6 on it from late-November 2012 to early-April 2013, and BTC was at about the same price when I started. Just curious if it, too, should work, and if not, I can pull my slowest ASIC off the line, which I might find myself doing anyhow. Got to get this other mess sorted out first...and if it's a mess, I made it that way.
First the .conf:
server=1
rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
reservebalance=10000
Not sure how to tell if this is correct or not, but these seemed like the only elements that were not meant as explanation, but rather the actual code. I realize my spaching may be at issue you here, but am not sure how many lines of spacing to include.
The .bat file I find a bit more confusing. I've tried several different methods of including my password in the file, including the most logical, which is to substitute the term 'variable' each time with my password. I've tried both my actual password used for encryption (my wallet passphrase) and the supposedly arbitrary password I included in the .conf file. At the bottom line, I've left the bracketing '%' and omitted them. I always get an error that there is a mismatch. Here's what it kind of looks like now:
@echo off
@echo Enter PPC password...
SET /P XXXXXXXX=Password :
ppcoind walletpassphrase %XXXXXXXX% 9999999 tru
Sorry if these are easy questions for the rest of you. It all seems fairly straightforward, but I'm missing some crucial piece. Also, and this is the edit, I did enable the function to allow me to see the extensions - I do have working .bat and .conf files... They are not simply doing what I'm asking them to do.
I'll be trying to sort this out on my own, too, but any help will be appreciated.
Cheers!
