Some AV consider minerd.exe as a a virus, because it was used in viruses to create mining botnets.

Title: Re: How to use minerd with YAC on Windows Post by: 6strings on May 11, 2013, 11:50:52 PM Right. I got that. So it just sends them to the wallet automatically? No need to put an address anywhere?

But the cmd window is open and it shows that it's mining. Is it working right?
I just want to make sure, I solo mined yesterday in the morning and got some right away, but then got nothing for the rest of the entire day, just want to make sure I didn't mess something up.

I'll let it run overnight and see if I have any luck. Already found a few blocks on dontmine.me. Hoping for the same luck solo. I should add I am using minerd_scrypt_jane_x64_avx.exe. minerd_scrypt_jane_x64_avx.exe -a scrypt-jane -o http://127.0.0.1:7689 -u 6strings -p pants -t 4 yacoin.conf rpcuser=6strings rpcpassword=pants rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcport=7689 port=7688 daemon=1 server=1 addnode=82.211.30.212 addnode=78.21.9.49 addnode=76.115.8.101 addnode=124.149.56.205 addnode=178.130.36.81 addnode=82.6.77.126 addnode=106.187.55.212 addnode=81.202.104.33 addnode=84.200.17.178 addnode=88.204.169.242 Title: Re: How to use minerd with YAC on Windows Post by: anonynonanony on May 16, 2013, 06:20:48 PM When I put in gethashespersec it shows 0.

I just want to make sure, I solo mined yesterday in the morning and got some right away, but then got nothing for the rest of the entire day, just want to make sure I didn't mess something up. the gethashespersec will only report the mining speed of the yacoin client, so long as minerd is reporting a hashspeed you're good. if you want to verify minerd is pointing at your wallet correctly, simply close yaccoin and you'll see minerd throw a connection error. reopen yacoin and minerd will reconnect :) |
