Title: Basic GLDcoin Solo Mining Tutorial for CGminer Post by: Itsltctime on May 20, 2013, 05:44:57 AM I was hoping to develop this a little further but have found myself busier than expected. Please let me know of any mistakes and I will try and fix them asap.
How to mine GLDcoin with cgminer Before installing any mining software make sure you have downloaded and installed both AMD APP SDK: http://developer.amd.com/tools/hc/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/Pages/default.aspx Latest AMD Drivers: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx Step 1) Download the appropriate version of GLDcoin-qt wallet. Linux x64 Binarieshttps://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-V2r5eb7IgtYlh2UWVyajRtUEE/edit?usp=sharing Linux 32bit Binaries https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-V2r5eb7IgtVHp1T2VyYXFtWXM/edit?usp=sharing Windows Binaries https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-V2r5eb7IgteHRCb09RUkpJQlU/edit?usp=sharing Unzip to your desired location. Step 2) Download cgminer: Cgminer: https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer One you have downloaded cgminer, unzip it. Step 3) Setup GLDcoin.conf On a windows machine, click the start button and type: %appdata% then click enter. In the window that opens navigate to the GLDcoin folder and open it. Once inside the GLDcoin folder, right-click and create a new text document. Name the new document GLDcoin.conf Open the newly created GLDcoin.conf in any text editor and copy the and paste the following: rpcuser=ChooseAUsername rpcpassword=ChooseAPassword rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcport=8122 server=1 gen=0 Choose whatever username and password you would like to use for your miner. You will need this information again to enter into your cgminer batch file in the next step. Save GLDcoin.conf and exit your text editor. Step 4) Create cgminer bat Navigate to the folder where you unzipped cgminer. Again right-click and create a new text file. Inside the next text file copy and paste the text below: cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:9112 -u ChoseAUserName -p ChooseAPassword Change the -u to the username you chose in the previous step and the same with -p for the password. Save this document as startmining.bat Step 5) Launch GLDcoin-qt in server mode Click the start button and type “cmd” and click enter. In the command prompt that opens, navigate to the location you unzipped GLDcoin-qt and run GLDcoin-qt.exe with the -server flag. For instance: c:\users\yourusername\desktop\goldcoin\GLDcoin-qt.exe -server In a few seconds your GLDcoin wallet should open. If this is the first time you have opened it, it may take a few minutes to download all of the block chain data. Once GLDcoin-qt is up-to-date, navigate to the mining tab. Enter the following: Server – 127.0.0.1 Port – 8122 Username – ChooseAUsername Password – ChooseAPassword Again be sure to use the same username and password from the previous steps. Click the Start Mining Button. Step 6) Open cgminer bat Navigate to the cgminer folder where you created your startmining.bat Double-click startmining.bat It may take a minute or two for cgminer to start running. If everything is setup right, you should now be mining GLDcoin! Title: Re: Basic GLDcoin Solo Mining Tutorial for CGminer Post by: MooC Tals on May 25, 2013, 10:10:41 PM Step 4) Create cgminer bat
