Hello Guys
This is my first mining experience on this end and I think I screwed up somewhere so I have some questions.
I am trying to help an 11 year old kid that wants to mine cryptos as his house was broken into a few weeks back and he wants to help his mom. I've been telling my little neighbour about mining and he found this coin and wants to mine it but we've had some problems.
If any of you can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
He has a laptop and a desktop that are both running linux mint (Ubuntu) and he followed this steps to try & get his wallet compiled on both systems.
sudo su -
apt-get install -y git make g++ build-essential dos2unix
apt-get install -y autoconf automake libtool yasm m4
apt-get install -y libminiupnpc-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev libboost-all-dev
git clone https://github.com/fuguecoin/fuguecoin
cd fuguecoin/src/
chmod +x leveldb/build_detect_platform
make -f makefile.unix USE_PNP=-
mv fuguecoind /usr/local/bin/fuguecoind
fuguecoind
When he finished, he tried to run "fuguecoind" from the terminal and when he did, he got
Fuguecoin server started but not his wallet.
Now if he tries to run the command "fuguecoind" he gets this
Fuguecoin server starting
Error: Unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:9088 on this computer. Fuguecoin is probably already running.
Error: Failed to listen on any port. Use -listen=0 if you want this.
I have no clue if what he compiled was actually a fuguecoin wallet so If anyone has any clue as to what happened here, please let me know. I cant even find the conf file when compiled this way.
Wallet QuestionThen he downloaded the windows wallet and ran it using wine.
That wallet syncs and he tried to mine with it using this code as instructed
setgenerate true -1
No go there either, if it is mining, I can't tell by looking at the debug mode.
Pool QuestionTHEN he opened and account at the POOL. But he cannot log in which seems to be a pool problem.
Question about the pool is, will the regular
minerd for linux work to mine on the pool?
and how in the world are people getting millions of KHs on the pool using minerd or are they doing it with gpus / asics?
Thanks!
