UPDATE: THE RPC PORT IS THE FOLLOWING: 66458

Thanks for pointing that out, you can still use 4242 but make sure you close the 42 wallet before this.

Kind regards!

 "blocks" : 8729  those are the blocks. Since it has downloaded them and it isnt stuck at 0 or somewhere low it means you are connected
"genproclimit" : -1   means that you mine with all available cores
"hashespersec" : 1633 and this is your hashrate. Its quite typical i think. Although still much better than mine that was around 800


yep you are good
