I tried running the program from the command prompt. First I tried just entering the command. No dice. Then i tried this:

c:\bipcoin\miner.exe --daemon-address 127.0.0.1:18871  --address [bipcoin wallet address] -threads 8

The threads limitation results in "Fatal: unrecognized option '-threads'"

If I drop the threads command, the computer shows high CPU activity in the task manager, but no indication that anything is actually mining, and it prevents me from using the computer for anything else. Also, browser mining from freebitco.in on 8 cores results in a temperature change on my CPU, while this command prompt entry did not.

It looks like pool mining is the only option that will work at this point. I would prefer to see simplewallet reintroduce CPU mining from its command prompt.

I am using the Win004CLIwithfix.rar downloaded directly from the bipcoin site as it is currently hosted. I extracted the files to a new folder on my hard drive. I can run bitcoind and simplewallet. However, the mining commands are now absent from the "help" menu.

In simplewallet:
start_mining [number of cores] responds with "unknown command: start_mining"
mining command responds with "unknown command: miner"

Same with bipcoind when I try the mining command there.

I know how to use those commands. I have used them in the past. They don't work anymore as of the last update.

The miner app in the zip file does not seem to work. bipcoind and simplewallet function just fine, but double-clicking the miner creates a rectangular window-opening animation that immediately closes before displaying anything. I am running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. Any suggestions? I have used Bipcoin mining from the CLI wallet on my old Windows 7 PC, but that option has now obviously been removed.

I am interested in either namecoin or bitcoin, and willing to ship in the US via USPS, UPS, or Fedex. I can also meet in-person in the Spokane, WA area. Naturally, my preferred meeting spaces would be the Gamer's Haven in Spokane Valley or Strategy & Games in Coeur d'Alene.

I am considering selling some Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 miniatures, a Malifaux M&SU crew, and several other miniatures from companies like Reaper and Mantic. Is there sufficient interest for that to be worthwhile here?
