Title: Hello All!
Post by: thefatman82 on December 17, 2013, 05:57:56 PM
Hello!

I'm new to cryptocurrency. I'm excited about getting involved in growing a portfolio of many forks.

I know mining Bitcoins starting now at 0 is a bit of a stretch, but I wanted to start somewhere just to be mining.

Does anyone know of a good beginner coin or share with low difficulty that I should look into instead?
Thanks ahead for the advice!

I downloaded a bitcoin wallet as part of my mining. 1CJWjhV8yTc7b865LmP7WJ6uepabKjQ69A

Hey! Welcome to the Cryptoland.
You might try mining DOGEcoins while you still can, they are bound to succeed. How many hashes are you getting by the way ?

You should check coinwarz.com to see the mining profitability and the difficulty,

I'm mining for fun most part too, so its nice to actually get some coins.

Thanks! I started mining Doge last night. I have 1500 so far! Better than the BTC .000000000000000000000000....... you get the point.

I'm avg around 30khash/s on my desktop, and 5-8khash/s on my laptop. Are these pretty low?

Hi I'm new to this also, just started yesterday using the MineWithCpu.bat .  I can start the Dogecoin- wallet and it appears to sync just fine, as it shows
blocks downloading.  I have tested the wallet and have 11.76 coins in there.  However I can't seem to mine anything.

I'm testing on a laptop  with Intel Core i7-3450M @ 3.00 Ghz  8GB ram.  (I know but it's just to test I don't care how slow just make sure it works)

Here is what I did,

1. created wallet
2. joined pool
3. tested wallet successfully
4. edited the  MineWithCpu.bat file with the folllowing>   minerd -a scrypt -t 4 -s 6 -o stratum+tcp://stratum-eu.doge.luckyminers.com:3313 -u myuserid.myworker:mypassword
5.  saved the changes to the .bat file
6. ran the .bat file

results = the windows pops up and dissappears, the if I run minerd.exe   file I get a command window output like the following

[2013-12-18 15:44:46] Binding thread 0 to cpu 0
[2013-12-18 15:44:46] Binding thread 3 to cpu 3

error
[2013-12-18 15:44:47] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds

nothing else... this just sits there and does this all night.

I have not mined anything.  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?   I'm a total newbie to mining.

Copy the dogecoin.conf file from the folder and paste into C:\Users\{YOURUSER}\%AppData%\Roaming\Dogecoin\

The AppData folder is hidden - you'll need to enable "Show Hidden Folders"

That is done as well.  The contents  of the Dogecoin.conf file is as shown below.

pcuser=doge
rpcpassword=wow
addnode=162.243.113.110
addnode=146.185.181.114
rpcport=22555
server=1
daemon=1

still get the error I noted above

Thanks!!!

So has anyone found any good pools to be part of?

I've heard about scams and really want to try to avoid ones that'll keep my Doge...
