Quote from: thecoinnoob on November 03, 2013, 01:21:17 AM

I'm new to this. Yes, I am.
I was trying to solo mine with my laptop.
But, I just can't seem to get the settings right with the files.
There is the betacoin.conf to set up the server.
Then, I have to go through settings with cgminer.
It still doesn't work for me. Help?
Dev, can you do a guide? Please.

Hi,
Are you trying to mine with your CPU, GPU or any ASIC connected to your laptop? If you are trying solo with CPU or GPU now, probably it is worth because now difficulty is too high, but in near days it will go down, also you can mine in pool when it will be available (soon). What OS is on your laptop?

In short words to start you should:
1. Download the source code and compile the client if you are on Linux or MAC or download Windows installer and install it.
2. Try to start betacoin (no matter GUI client or command line client) - you probably will see message that you do not have betacoin.conf file.
3. Create betacoin.conf file in any .txt redactor with the following content (change myname and mypassword to any name and password):

Code:

rpcuser=myname
rpcpassword=mypassword
maxconnection=50
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.*
rpcport=32332
server=1
listen=1
addnode=66.172.10.57
addnode=76.74.177.244

Put just created betacoin.conf file in your
/home/%username/.betacoin dirrectory if you are on Linux, or in
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Bitcoin if you are on Windows XP, or in
C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin if you are on Vista and 7
Remember that this folders are hidden by default, so you should enable hidden files and directories view in your OS.
4. Start Betacoin again, you probably will have no connections, because it is your first run and your client do not know its first connection.
In GUI Client after first start go to the console and type

Code:

addnode 76.74.177.244 onetry

This command will connect your client to the first node and then will receive other network nodes.
You can jus start you Betacoin client with this option

Code:

-connect=76.74.177.244

In Ubuntu command line client it looks like

Code:

./betacoind -connect=76.74.177.244 &

5. Since the first connection your client will synchronize with the network, it will take about 1-2 min, after that you are ready to go with cgminer.
6. To start solo in cgminer you should type the following command (betacoin client should be working in the same time):

Code:

cgminer -o http://127.0.0.1:32332 -u myname -p mypassword

I hope it will help, if you have any questions, will try to help.
