I have literally nothing. I click the .jar and the mouse spins like it is loading, javaw appears in the process explorer, but no gui or anything pops up. And when I try to run it from command prompt it tells me the file cannot be accessed. Now I'm curious as to how it's possible that I mined a block apparently without mcproxy which should be required, correct? Copy the .jar file to a directory with java.exe (usually in c:\program files) and try to run from command line from that path. If your miner uses 8080 port then mcproxy should use a different one. I use this configuration: miner: bfgminer.exe -o localhost: 8090 -u adam -p pass --http-port 8080 -Q 0 mcproxy: java -jar mcproxy.jar -l 8090Well, that got it to at least attempt to launch. But now it spits out a million errors. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FBbFj5Ux.png&t=665&c=8wjwUkHnG5s5xA) mcproxy.jar needs also its libraries (located in lib directory). So if you copy/move mcproxy.jar you will need to copy/move lib directory as well.

And when I try to run it from command prompt it tells me the file cannot be accessed. Now I'm curious as to how it's possible that I mined a block apparently without mcproxy which should be required, correct? regarding the output from mcproxy.jar, if you double click on it, windows will use javaw for executing the program without a console, so you will not see any text/log output, but that's only needed if you need to debug something. in order to launch with java (not javaw), open an msdos (cmd), cd to the directory where mcproxy.jar and the lib directory is, and from there launch: "java -jar mcproxy.jar", and then you will see the output from mcproxy. Technical explanation of mcproxy: Mcproxy implements a necessary part of the new proof of work algorithm, we choose not to put the full algorithm in the miner for simpliticity (so it is easier to support more miners). In the future, we might put all the code inside one or more miners, it will depend on the success of the coin. In terms of performance, the Java JIT VM is pretty good, even compared to native code. So, you mined a block because mcproxy is working correctly (in the background, without seeing its output). Thanks, that's kinda what I figured was going on. Seeing as I was able to mine a block I assumed it had to be just working in the background or something.

So although it is working correctly, I cannot get it to show output no matter whether I run it from command line or not. It's got all the correct lib directories etc too. Idfk, I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it, but it's really odd that this is even possible ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

C:\Users\win7> if in the error messages you see "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError", that means that the libraries for mcproxy are missing. can you show a "dir" listing of the directory where mcproxy.jar is located? you should see in the same directory also a "lib" subdirectory. can you show also a "dir" listing of "lib"?

yes, you should use the modified bfgminer. Thank you. Do you know if there are any compiled binaries for the modified bfgminer ?

the amount depends on block height and the output of a Mersenne Twister random number generator which is seeded by the hash of the previous block in the blockchain. see also https://github.com/mrtexaznl/mediterraneancoin/blob/master-0.8/src/main.cpp at line 1146 see also http://www.mediterraneancoin.org/ in the "Features" section for more detail on how subsidy is scheduled: Special reward system: random block rewards depending on block number: block number reward 1-100k random 1-100 MediterraneanCoins reward 100k - 200k 1-200 MediterraneanCoins reward 200k - 300k 1-150 MediterraneanCoins reward 300k - 400k 1-100 MediterraneanCoins reward 400k - 500k 1-70 MediterraneanCoins reward 500k - 600k 1-40 MediterraneanCoins reward > 600k 20 MediterraneanCoins reward (flat) after that, subsidy halves in 1036k blocks (~1 year)

But now it spits out a million errors. mcproxy.jar needs also its libraries (located in lib directory). So if you copy/move mcproxy.jar you will need to copy/move lib directory as well. Easier method to solve the issue is to just edit runmcproxy.bat (right-click > Edit) that comes with installation. Since Win7 is not so smart to find location of Java, one needs to point to it over mentioned .bat file, like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -jar mcproxy.jar Or if your Java is installed to Program Files folder: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -jar mcproxy.jar
