So I've done some googling and I read that it was the cost of a transaction to take place between two addresses (please correct me if I'm wrong!). I'm currently mining off of nanopool and they have this warning on their help page: "Do NOT use CONTRACT addresses for mining if it consumes more than 40000 gas." What are contract addresses exactly? How do I find out how much gas my address takes. also, this forum is a god send! thank you guys so much for all the helpful threads.

Wow! thats awesome! thank you so much!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! this whole time I was running the start.bat and I was getting so frustrated. what do the global variables do and why do I need them? do I open up the new .bat that contains the files before I start mining or after and how would I make sure that the .bat is affecting the mining and working? Thanks so much! you're a life saver!

1st-day mining (or trying too at least!) I'm using Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v8.1 and I got most of it setup correctly in the config.txt but I learned that the config is ignored by the miner if there is anything in the command line. How do you edit the command line? In my log it doesn't show my correct wallet address, even though I've changed it in the config fig file. Do you edit the EthDcrMiner application? If so how?
