Altair 0.7.2.1 release version.
Use the following instructions to setup a node on Windows (Server).
Run altair-0.7.1.2-win32-setup.exe or altair-0.7.1.2-win64-setup.exe
Windows will complain, but you can safely proceed.
Cubid will be installed in <drive>:\Program Files\Altair and <drive>:\Program Files\Altair\daemon
Create the file altair.conf in the folder "%APPDATA%\Altair\".
Paste the following lines in altair.conf.
rpcuser=rpc_altair
rpcpassword=69c863e3356d3dae95df454a1
# Use a different password!
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
txindex=1
daemon=1
addnode=85.214.224.77
Open port 8434 (Altair p2p communication) in your firewall.
Start your altair-qt.exe application.
Your altair-qt.exe wallet will function as a node when you start altair-qt.exe.
Mining.
Extract the Windows 64 bit CPU miner from:
https://altaircore.org/download/miner-win64.zip in the \daemon directory
First create a new Altair address with this command:
./altair-cli.exe getnewaddress "" legacy
Assuming altair-qt.exe or altaird is running..
Or use the same command in the console in ./altair-qt
Start the dedicated mining software with the (minimum) required options.
./minerd.exe -a sha256d -o
http://127.0.0.1:8433 -O <user*>:<password*> --no-longpoll --coinbase-addr=<new Altair address>
Get help with the following commands and optionally print to file.
./minerd.exe -h
./minerd.exe -h > miner-help.<ext>
* See altair.conf
Or create a mine.bat in the same folder where you extracted example-cli.exe
Paste the following text into mine.bat.
@echo off
set path_cli=%cd%
cd %path_cli%
echo Press [CTRL+C] to stop mining.
:begin
altair-cli.exe generate 1 1000000000
goto begin
Then save the file.
Execute mine.bat from the command line to start mining.
