Mining Configurations And Help
Mining Configurations And Help
Remember that everything so far is geared towards our example preferences and gear:
SOLO’ing choosing Dogecoin as my currency using CudaMiner with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti GPU on Windows 7 64Bit
There are countless mining configurations, software, hardware & other choices to be decided upon. Just take your time and what you do not find here research it. You will retain more by learning hands on as far as I am concerned. Let’s touch on some basic information you should know about so far.
- Each coin has a wallet. In that wallet you will have a .conf file with your settings. Located in /appdata/roaming/
- A sample .conf file looks like this
rpcuser=doge
rpcpassword=wow
addnode=162.243.113.110
addnode=146.185.181.114
rpcport=22555
server=1
daemon=1
- Each coin has a .bat file in your miner program. Your .bat files all go into your miner folder /Cudaminer/X64 in my case
- A sample .bat file looks like this
cudaminer.exe -H 1 -i 0 -l F4x16 -C 2 -o 127.0.0.1:22555 -u doge -p wow 2>> logfile.txt

- You can have many wallets and many .conf and .bat files. Keep organized with your folders.
- When solo’ing each coin the user name, password and port should match between your .conf & .bat file.
- Make them different for each type of coin you mine.
- You may get frustrated but patience is key. There is a very steep learning curve and I am just touching on basics with this guide.
This mining configurations list will very likely continue to grow. In the last chapters I will be giving you links to continue your research and provide helpful information. If you have any questions feel free to ask me via comments or your peers in forums. If I can help I will, if I do not know the answer I will tell you and may be able to direct you somewhere that does.
