Title: How to solo mine BTC - core wallet 0.13?
Post by: Rotator on January 09, 2017, 04:06:55 PM
I'm using core wallet 0.13.

GUI miner  https://guiminer.org/

I need explanation how to start mining?  
What to use, bat file Bitcoin.exe - server or  bitcoind ?



I had no luck, guiminer response ***NO JSON object could be decoded

CPU and GPU mining for Bitcoin is dead. You will never make anything but will ruin your machine in the process. You need an ASIC miner. The newer the better.

This is good and wise answer but it is not helpful to me.
Still looking for an answer here.

Only answer you will get. Don't bother, most of the software for pc mining is long dead and no updated. probably won't work

If you're looking to be cheap. Buy a stick usb miner.

Quite the adamant one we have here. I bid you listen to the ones before me.

bitcoind and bitcoin.exe are the same afaik, except the latter has a GUI. I have no idea why you'd want to use guiminer, though.  ::)

If you're that persistent, i'd say just use something like minergate, lmao.

Ancient mining software for hardware that is irrelevant to modern mining cannot mine directly to the bitcoind. Bitcoind removed most irrelevant mining interfaces years ago and ancient mining software that mines on useless mining hardware (by today's standards) does not speak modern mining communication languages. There are ways to make the latin speaking ancient mining software speak to the esperanto speaking bitcoind but it's a futile and pointless exercise to put all the necessary interfaces between them since it only consumes a lot of electricity and does not remotely resemble what modern bitcoin mining does today and cannot realistically ever mine anything of any value in one's lifetime.
