This coin jumped on my radar and I am going to buy some and sit on it and see what it does. So as you can imagine my step one was to go ahead and download the wallet aka Riecoin Core version v0.10.2.0-gf192dab-beta (64-bit). Just out of curiosity I thought I would fire it up to mine...
I simply opened the console and changed setgenerate to true and then checked things with getmining info and for sure it's mining up a storm.
I haven't mined a block yet and not sure if I will who knows but I would ask the forum members is there anything else I need to do besides change the setgenerate to true?
Thanks for the advice!
You won't find a block using the wallet miner. (Or, if you do, you're the luckiest person ever. :-)
Download the real miner instead. It's something on the order of ten thousand times faster than the default one in the wallet.
@dga thanks for the tip I appreciate it! This is why I ask the experts for advice. So yeah I determined my hash vs. the total network hash rate and did some quick calculation and figured I could mine a few blocks a day but I bet you're right and I can't mine a drop!
Now, I don't care so much for pool mining I really like solo mining and on that note could you be so kind as to let me know the name of this miner you recommend and even better a link to it so I can download it and check it out...
Thanks for your advice I appreciate it!
