Title: [Collected/Closed]1 btc bounty for a windows namecoin guide Post by: RyanWebber on June 16, 2011, 01:01:16 AM Name basically says it all. I'm running windows 7 and want to mine some namecoins. Will give 1 btc to whoever helps me get it running since I'm too dumb to do it myself ???

And for steps 6-8: Instead of ./namecoind randomtext, it should be namecoind.exe randomtext. Then to start mining using your CPU/GPU, follow the guide on here: http://bitparking.com/pool. You still should be able to use the miners you use for Bitcoin. Title: Re: 1 btc bounty for a windows namecoin guide Post by: alkhdaniel on June 16, 2011, 11:49:35 AM 1. Download namecoin (http://dot-bit.org/files/namecoin_win32.zip)
2. Run namecoind.exe through cmd, personally i just make a .bat file in the same directory and put Code: START namecoind 3. Wait a few seconds, then turn it off (if it doesn't turn off itself). 4. Create a bitcoin.dat in your namecoin data folder (located in C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming\Namecoin in win7 afaik) 5. Edit bitcoin.dat and put the following information in it: Code: rpcuser=username here 7. Start an instance of cmd and type "cd path/to/namecoind/" (path/to/namecoind/ to be edited ofcourse). 8. Type namecoind help to get a list of commands. "Core" commands: help : Show all commands available. getnewaddress : Create a new namecoin address. sendtoaddress : Send namecoins to someone (sendtoaddress <address> <amount>). getbalance : Shows how many namecoins you have. Send to 1Awyxgawq52mkYmiAQ9v4sLPXxStVsSGy8 if this helped you, thanks. Title: Re: 1 btc bounty for a windows namecoin guide Post by: xjosx on June 16, 2011, 04:25:54 PM 1.

I've written one up here, OP, if you need it: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6017.msg225444#msg225444 Title: Re: 1 btc bounty for a windows namecoin guide Post by: RyanWebber on June 16, 2011, 10:29:26 PM Thanks for all the input but I'm still stuck exactly where i've been stuck since I started. I made the bitcoin.conf file in my roam appdata file and I've set it multiple ways with no luck..
rpcuser=myusername rpcpassword=mypassword rpcport=8336 daemon=1 rpcuser=XXXXXX rpcpassword=YYYYYY However my namecoind opens and closes automatically still. I'm also getting this error in CMD error: You must set rpcpassword=<password> in the configuration file: C:/Users/Anonymous/AppData/Roaming/Namecoin/bitcoin.conf when I enter certain commands in there. I have entered a password in there several times in several different ways. The file is EXACTLY where CMD tells me it needs to be. What am I doing wrong? Did I make the file wrong? How is it supposed to be created? I was originally just opening a text document and saving it as bitcoin.conf is that incorrect? I must be missing something here because the file is exactly where it needs to be. Perhaps I'm using the wrong binaries for windows? Title: Re: 1 btc bounty for a windows namecoin guide Post by: alkhdaniel on June 16, 2011, 11:31:48 PM Sure youre not hiding file extensions or something just to make it look like it's really named bitcoin.conf and not bitcoin.conf.txt or something like that?
Try using this .conf http://solidfiles.net/d/ac5c/ Title: Re: [Collected/Closed]1 btc bounty for a windows namecoin guide Post by: RyanWebber on June 17, 2011, 01:41:02 AM Bounty was collected by Thundertoe. Guy was very helpful. Thanks.
Title: Re: 1 btc bounty for a windows namecoin guide Post by: demonblack on June 17, 2011, 01:44:22 AM Try the following:
Download the binaries and put them somewhere, for example C:\namecoin\ Press windows+R and type cmd, click ok now type c:\namecoin\namecoind It will show the error about the configuration file. No problem, we wanted it to. Type cd %appdata%\namecoin now type notepad bitcoin.conf It will ask you to create a new file, click ok put in it the following rows: Quote rpcuser=something rpcpassword=somethingelse rpcport=8336 Close notepad saving it Go back to the prompt and type start c:\namecoin\namecoind This opens a new window that should just show a blinking cursor. Go back to the previous prompt and type cd c:\namecoin\ To test if it is actually working type namecoind getinfo Should report the number of blocks, number of connections, and other infos.
