Title: Is it possible to mine on a virtual machine Post by: Jwminer on August 10, 2014, 07:47:34 AM Hi to all I'm just wondering if is possible to mine dogecoin on a virtual pc and how hard would that be to set up for solo mining.

So I'm thinking if I put it on vpc with Windows xp it might be possible to do this and finally do some solo mining of dogecoin I'm about to give up on it. So if anyone knows how to do this let us know I have also tried compatibility mode on Windows 7 with no success at all.

Your better bet, I think, would be figuring out the issue with QT crashing on your box or just dual-booting when you want to run QT, then mine on Win7. Fwiw, I have no issue with DogeQT on Win7 x64 without compatibility mode or other stuff tweaked.

If you are solo mining, try to not to do this. If you don't want to install a new OS on you computer, then run a live usb.
