Open notepad -> write "phoenix.exe" without quotes -> save file in the directory of the phoenix miner with the name "pohenix.bat".

There, you have it.

Why? What difference does .bat vs .exe make?

would it run if you simply rename it to .bat??
i don't think .bat works that way, does it? lol

A bat file is a macro, it's can't do anything past what command line can do.

A miner is a software with compiled instructions (.exe). A batch file is a command line file with DOS instructions (.bat). A miner can't do his job with only DOS instructions.

i'm guessing he is looking for a miner thats able to be transfered in plain text and remotely executed, for windows systems there is no such miner without dependencies (such as python etc)
