I get an error. Connection refused. Anyone have an idea why?
Too much noise in here ...
Can someone point me to windows forging instructions, please?
I'll try. I'm a Linux guy and this is untested, so no promises. This relies on HEAT server, so is probably unnecessarily complex. (Hope they churn out a fancy light client like they did with FIMK -- is a heck of a lot easier for newbies).
The heatledger server should run on Windows (read the quick notes and download from here):
https://github.com/Heat-Ledger-Ltd/heatledger/releasesUnzip it.
See the readme here (notes for java installation):
https://github.com/Heat-Ledger-Ltd/heatledger/blob/master/README.mdAdd a new heat.properties file in the conf/ folder (next to heat-default.properties). Only one line for now:
heat.apiKeyDisabled=true
Run the heat server:
bin/heatledger.bat
.....
Okay, so now you should have a running HEAT server on your windows computer. Now use the HTTP API to start forging.
Open the following URL in a
private browser window (replace THIS%20IS%20THE%20PASSPHRASE with your account passphrase. Spaces turn into %20):
http://localhost:7733/api/v1/mining/start/THIS%20IS%20THE%20PASSPHRASEIf you get a JSON response that includes "deadline" and "hitTime", it probably worked! If you get a JSON response that says "error", it probably didn't.
If you don't use a private browser, this URL (which includes your passphrase) will be saved in history, so be careful.
.......
Anybody: Feel free to take this, test it, clean it up, and make more accessible.
If you are on a Linux server without a graphical desktop, you can start mining like this:
wget http://localhost:7733/api/v1/mining/start/THIS%20IS%20THE%20PASSPHRASE
After you have started your forger, you can check if it is running using curl:
sudo apt-get install curl
curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --header 'Accept: application/json' 'http://localhost:7733/api/v1/mining/info'
If you are forging, it should return something like:
[{"deadline":63,"account":"xxxxxxxx","remaining":9,"hitTime":100201306}]
