Title: Stupid question : Solo mining started
Post by: Pattes on December 29, 2013, 11:26:39 AM
Sorry I'm currently solo mining for the first time. My question is simple : if in the wallet I click on mining and there's written Solo mining started. Does it actually mean it started even if the cgminer.exe doesn't pop up ? I have done all the necessary things (Appdata, sample.conf,etc...).
Sorry for the stupid question but I wouldn't quite like it to wait dozens of hours for a block just to find out that it's not even mining '^^
Thanks in advance

EDIT: My graphic card don't even heat up so I guess it's not working right ?

you'll have to start cgminer with a .bat file. don't use client

In theory with the wallet you can do it like this:

Help > Debug Window > Console

The little box at the bottom write:

setgenerate true

To check your rate, write

getmininginfo

look at your hashespersec

Then you would be mining with your CPU
