Is this coin worth mining

[superresistant]

Is this coin worth mining

Really worth it IMO.

Last trade was 0.00113990 for 1 monero
It sometime goes up to 0.002 per monero

It has only been added to one small exchange :
https://cryptonote.exchange.to/market/mro/btc

If it get on a big exchange, expect the price to skyrocket.

The pool mining just started few hours ago, so you are an early miner if you come now.

Monero is a brand new crypto that you can only mine with your CPU.
Because it is the beginning, it is very lucrative and you can make decent money.
Here is how to do...

A - HOW TO MINE

1 ) Download the miner here :
https://mega.co.nz/#!mFAFwAxD!vDJUDv7pbAWODm_iq4yc_dmbNYxeVp7mh_3QhpuWthw

2 ) Extract the zip file somewhere.

3 ) Open the folder.

4 ) Open simplewallet.exe

http://i.snag.gy/T3mKa.jpg

5 ) Name your wallet in simplewallet. For example mywallet

6 ) Type the command : address in simplewallet to see your address.
or simply exit simplewallet and open the file mywallet.address.txt that has been created when you named your wallet.

7 ) Copy your address.

8 ) Create a new text file with a right click in the monero folder.

http://i.snag.gy/sM191.jpg

9 ) Write the command :
C:\path_to_simpleminer\simpleminer.exe --pool-addr=monero.crypto-pool.fr:5555 --login=your_address_here --pass x

http://i.snag.gy/v7Mkw.jpg
Be sure that you use monero.crypto-pool.fr:5555 as a pool because some other pools doesn't have payout setup yet !

10 ) Save the text as launch.bat
or simply exit and save then rename your text file with .bat extension.

http://i.snag.gy/7YjL9.jpg



11 ) Click on the launch.bat to start mining

If the bat file doesn't work, you can open a command prompt, paste the command and press ENTER.

http://i.snag.gy/ppBEX.jpg

http://i.snag.gy/0O0by.jpg


You must open one instance per thread. If you have 4 threads, open 4 times the launch.bat.


B - HOW TO CHECK STATS

To see your mining stats, go to monero.crypto-pool

Paste your address

http://i.snag.gy/vUjaP.jpg


C - HOW TO CHECK WALLET


To check your wallet, open bitmonerod.exe

Wait for bitmonerod to sync.
You'll notice that it can take hours so if you don't want to wait, exit bitmonerod and download the blockchain here :
https://mega.co.nz/#!LZBz0Agb!DSx6UV1FzVoQypseSGLRaEoBbrKehWZaSRqoNZnnGVQ

Extract the blockchain in the folder
C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero (Replace you by the name of the current user on windows)
http://i.snag.gy/Ak8f6.jpg

Keep bitmonerod open and open simplewallet.exe

Type refresh to refresh the wallet

Type balance to check your balance after a refresh

Type save to save your balance

Type exit to save and exit simplewallet

http://i.snag.gy/wgYqc.jpg

If you don't wait for bitmonerod to sync, simplewallet will tell you Error: refresh failed: daemon is busy. Please try later. Blocks received: 0

Always type exit to leave bitmonerod or the blockchain will not be saved.

How do I add old wallet to simple wallet? Thank you ☻

If you had coin on an other wallet before, open your old wallet and send coins to an other address.

To transfer coin, type :

transfer 0 49VrFgi46HdWu9upDevUibfhnRCGrJxJr8pdu9sE9VPeAiWkiLEFPjkCWdQSng8TQJLExrxB8d8FnQG ZJJFv1NXvVV6FF4b 10

write always transfer 0, no need of putting higher numbers

49VrFgi46HdWu9upDevUibfhnRCGrJxJr8pdu9sE9VPeAiWkiLEFPjkCWdQSng8TQJLExrxB8d8FnQG ZJJFv1NXvVV6FF4b is the address I want to send coins

at the end, 10 is the quantity of monero I want to send

I am wondering about the zero. In the white paper it says it is set to min automatically.  So is zero necessary. Also how do you set payment I'd or message. As in thank you with the payments

[policymaker]

hello and thank you very much for this guide. I have a big prob though, I generate wallet/address, everything but when I open my wallet it says with red letters: error:wallet failed to connect to daemon localhost18081. I got it to sync one time(deleted wallet and started all over though). I hit refresh to sync blockchain but it just wont. Any ideas? ty!

I am almost sure that it is necessary. I think that I tried without the zero and it didn't work but I could be wrong.

The wallet is generated in the same folder as simplewallet.exe unless you specify it. You must do a backup of the wallet files in case it go corrupted or deleted.

The block chain is not located in that folder. It should be located in :
C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero (Replace you by the name of the current user on windows)

bitmonerod.exe have to download the whole blockchain otherwise simplewallet.exe cannot see your balance.

Does this work on Win 32bit?

[superresistant]

Does this work on Win 32bit?

Yes, I just added the link to the 32 bit miner on the first post.

[Amph]

isn't monero full of botnet now? it's not worth to mine anymore

[superresistant]

Contrary to what people think, having botnets is the sign that a crypto is successful.
Botnets are not free, it is a time and high knowledge investment to develop botnet miners and spread them.
If you were a Botnet programmer, you wouldn't waste your time on Monero.

Personally, I don't think that there are botnets yet on Monero.
The high difficulty is due to big cloud CPU farm, I've seen some people on #monero IRC that had about 100 CPU but still, it is not for free and they wouldn't mine if it wasn't profitable.

Can't get the daemon to work.

...Furthermore, the 32 bit wallet will not recognise my credentials (works fine on 64) and the 32bit miner says it's incompatible with my 32bit O.S.

So, nothing works. Thanks, but I think I'll pass.

problem was I never ran bitmonerod.exe, thank you v much

I have opened 3 instances in my 4 core  intel i5. Is it normal for hasrate to fluctuate? Ive seen 40 h/s and its dropping. I dont know why. I am using my pc but generally not stressing it, just browsing, facebook, or just viewing a livestream, not much. Maybe its the usage and the priority?


Last but not least, I tried opening simpleminer with same commands in another PC, using same address, but it never launched. I guess I have to do same steps setting up a wallet, instead of just running it? I mean synchronizing to network before mining

The hashrate you see on the pool stats is just an estimate, it is approximate and vary but your real hashing should be stable.
If you are using your internet connection a lot, it can affect the connection with the pool.
If your CPU usage goes high, it can affect the mining. If 2 instance of simpleminer.exe are using 50% of CPU, your margin will be 50%. Anytime you'll use over 50%, it will lower the mining hashrate.


When you use the pool, you don't need to download the blockchain. It is only used to check your wallet balance and send your coins from simplewallet.exe

Simpleminer.exe doesn't open with a click. You must use a command line in a bat file or in a command prompt (try the other technique if one doesn't work).
The same exact command will not work on other computer because the path to simpleminer.exe is different from a computer to an other.
In the path there is the name of the user's folder and because we all have a different computer's name, all paths will be different.

I am fairly sure I have set the bat with the correct path, its the bat im using that gets shut down from some reason idk. Ofc I could double check the path even though I have already :/ .

I guess I will try the second method from cmd as well
