hi guys, newbie & new to mintcoin, looks promising. mining now ! so does it mean as long as i have coins in my wallet & it'll start to mint (generate) coins by itself ?
any kind soul here to guide on how to solo mine ? atm, i'm mining at a pool.
Solo mining any scrypt coin is pretty much identical. If you dont know that, then probably you dont have enough mining power to solo this coin anyway.
just want a proper guidance so that i dont make any mistakes. i think i "may" have enough to solo mine mintcoin atm. have 8mhs+ mining power atm.
8M/hs Scrypt? Holy crap dude.
OK, so it depends on what software you like mining with and your computing environment.
Here's an in-depth guide to mining in Windows with GUIminer
https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/399-newbie-proof-scrypt-gpu-mining-the-easy-way-windows-7/And here's a primer for mining with CGminer
http://cryptosource.org/mining/configuration/Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-dF8X2_aJIIn a nutshell, do this:
1-first go c:\user\yourname\appdata\roaming\infinitecoin
2-find file named infinitecoin.conf or add it by you
3-with any text editor open infinitcoin.conf and add: (NB change these for Mintcoin details)
rpcuser=choose a user name
rpcpassword=choose your password
rpcallowip=your local ip
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9332
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0
addnode=63.246.129.56
4-download CGwatcher and install it and download (cgminer or bfgminer as you like)
5-start CGwatcher go to settings / manage profiles
6- click new -add a name to your profile like:IFC solo
7-localise you minerpath and add it (cgminer.exe or bfgminer.exe)
8-in miner arguments add : --scrypt -o yourlocalip:9332 -u yourname -p yourpassword
9-clik save and then click save setting
10- restart your wallet-qt first and now you can click on start mining in cgwatcher
enjoy!
