Hi guys
1st off, I really like this coins' look and feel. Community sounds really great and devs appear to be solid stayers.
First timer here (please be gentle)
I thought I'd try my hand at mining for fun and experience and so I set myself up with a Dell PowerEdge C1100 Intel 24 Thread 8 GB Fully Managed Dedicated Server. I tried to get up and running on my i5 laptop first by using pooler-cpuminer-2.4.4-win64 ... set workers (tried both suchpool and suprnova) then set up my bat file ... but all I get is a blink and then terminal disappears.
I've been trying for couple days now and just getting me real frustrated. I'd really appreciate a hand to get me going as the tutorials and youtube vids I've found either give me the same outcome or just confuse me.
Apologies in advance for being such a noob, but I really like what you guys have here and I'd like to climb aboard.
Cheers
First thing..goto the bat file, and after the last line.. add
pause
then save the bat file, then run. now u can see the errors its giving.
Report back
hrm ... doesn't pause, showed first time for about 3 seconds (I was able to make out the first word of a new line that appeared briefly "Try .... "
When trying again it just blinks
this is contents of bat file ->
minerd -a --scrypt -t 6 -s 4 -o stratum+tcp://stratum1.suchpool.pw:3387 -u xxxxxx -p xxxxxx pause
EDIT: Oh, I put "pause: on new line, doh!
Read out says "minerd: unknown algorythm -- '--scrypt'
