Title: Is it possible to mine ETH with web wallet?
Post by: makvo on October 20, 2016, 06:25:48 PM
Hello, I am pretty much a noob here.

I set up ethminer and I'd like to mine with web wallet instead of local one, how am I able to do that? Like if I write

"ethminer -G" what else do I need to write to mine and have custom web wallet? (btw I am trying to solo mine for now)

Sorry for the stupid question, I am really clueless on whats going on.

Yes you can. but you will have to use a pool. like anyone else who doesn't have a GPU farm.
I'd recommend ethermine.org for a pool and myetherwallet.com if it's not the wallet you're using already.

EDIT: Oh you're trying to solo mine. you'll have to run a full node then. but I really won't recommend solo mining when the difficulty is 100T. you will never get a single block.

Example:

Code:
ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 200 -G -S eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -FS eu2.ethermine.org:4444 -O YOUR-ETHEREUM-ADDRESS

Thanks! I've set it up, yes I was going to solo mine but I didn't know it was that difficult.
