Hi everyone,
I want to make a contribution to this project, I want to explain to newbie like me how to configure the wallet on mac, because I struggled during one hour before finding what was wrong.
ONLY FOR MAC
Step 1 : Download forknote mac wallet
https://github.com/forknote/forknote/releases/download/2.0.4/forknote-mac.zipStep 2 : You need to go to your user folder, for that you have to go to your finder and then you do cmd-shift-h. Now you are in your user folder.
Step 3 : Download WIN64CLI wallet
https://mega.nz/#!NCQ21Sqa!Sz4RiUZce4XpnJJ2Vbz5ELb0Mesl9bhN7O8BKZ8TQjM
Step 4 : Copy every files from your “forknote-mac” folder (unzip it before that if it’s not automatic) to your user folder.
Step 5 : Unzip WIN64CLI wallet, copy the folder “configs” to your user folder.
Step 6 : Open your terminal, copy this and press enter
./forknoted --config-file configs/unicoin.conf
Step 6-1 : You need to wait until the blockchain finish to sync, it will take a while. You will something like that in green :
2017-Jun-XX XX:XX:XX.XXXXXX INFO [XX.XX.XX.XXX:XXXXX INC] SYNCHRONIZED OK
Step 8 : Now you can start your wallet, copy this in your terminal and press enter (You need to open a new terminal)
./simplewallet --config-file configs/unicoin.conf
Step 8-1 : To generate a new wallet file you will need to type G and press enter. Then you will need to name your wallet and you will need to enter a password (you need to remember it to access your wallet)
Step 8-2 : Type address and press enter, you will see your address, copy it you will need it for the next step.
Step 9 : Almost done and this is the best part open a new terminal and copy that (you need to change the address because this is mine and I put threads 4 you must have the same I have a macbook air form early 2014.
./miner --daemon-address localhost:55632 --address 1DUrxVuL5NFGdRPHwEKrEfeNNbE7TeJJQZrzkkHUnB6R3Zi93pZ5N4A6hiHcYywCoMhEVkFEQ6ojNai
npdMevRmmUgZcj8a --threads 4 --log-level 5
Ok this is it ! It’s weird to see these lines of code and thinking that you are creating money $$$
I don’t know if this project will be successful but it’s was a good way for me to better understand how mining work and if forknote is creating a GUI interface more and more people will be able to do this. At least this is a funny coin and a funny way to educate yourself and others about how cryptos work :-)
PS 1 : Normaly you have three terminals windows (node, wallet, mining) when you want to stop you need to type exit for each one.
PS 2 : I mined more than 10 000 in half a day the difficulty is relatively low so enjoy !
