Title: Preperations for altcoin mining Post by: brain000 on August 14, 2017, 12:24:59 PM Hello everybody,
I am just starting on mining. I would like to mine altcoins and especially those, which are brand new, menas not even traded on exchanges. Now I ask myself the question what I need for solo mining. I'm not interessed in highly efficient hardware, but what information what tools I need for mining new altcoins. I could think of following things: 1) wallet client software (see Bitcoin Core) 2) source code of the wallet client software 3) specially adapted mining software 4) IP and port of a running node (full node) 5) credentials for this node 6) data from the blockchain, genesis block, some hash codes, ... Which of these points are really necessary? And what did I forget? If you need an example I think of vDinar, which is a nearly unchanged Litecoin clone. Thanks in advance! PS: I would like to do solo mining and not joining a mining pool. And I would like to use CPU/GPU and no FPGAs or ASICs.

We thought you could be interested in knowing that now vDinar offers many more changes! :) |
