Thanks for help. Now, where xmr-stak storing config files (and why authors changed it?)? I asking because after answering for questions program not working.
At present time latest Xmr Stak (2.4.2) is this:
https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases/download/2.4.2/xmr-stak-win64.zipWhy authors changed the format I don't know, it depends on them choices, but often happens with a program update, nothing to be afraid of.
Is a simple zip file. Extract into a folder, for example D:\Miners\xmr-stak or make a folder in the Desktop and extract there.
Just be sure to put the folder into the exclusion list of Windows Defender because it may recognize it as a crypto-virus and put in quarantine and you won't be able to execute it. If you don't know how to add a folder to the list of excluded folders of Windows Defender, google it.
Xmr Stak stores configuration files (.txt) into
its directory, that is the same directory where the
xmr-stak.exe executable is.
Configuration files consist of:
- pool and wallet configuration in
config.txt and
pools.txt- hardware configuration in
cpu.txt (and
gpu.txt if you have a graphic card).
if you want to restart first time install setup simply delete them all. For tomos and coins4hash the setup is almost identical except for the pool address of course with the ip and port and the username formatting.
The answers to the questions are:
http monitoring: 0 to disable or 3334 if you want to be able to access via browser localhost:3334 the info on current mining
coin to mine: cryptonight
pool address: ip and port of pool of your choice.
user: your wallet for tomos, SK_qSQgoe3NtQn8xmSxmtDW9.YOUR_FH_WALLET for coins4hash
password: x
use nicehash: y
use multipool: N
use TLS: N
I hope I remembered them correctly.
