Hi, I'm using a spare computer for the wallet and mining with it. When it set up, it asked for number of cores and realize I should have put it at 1 but just thought I could change it later. How can I change it now? It's running at 2 cores and making this machine unstable.
I tried to deposit coins from coinexchange and got them returned with: Auth Timeout / Reversed
Hi paramind22,
you can set the number of cores to use with the startup flag -genproclimit=1 , default is -1 which means al cores.
this can also be set in a file called hodlcoin.conf in the same directory as where your wallet.dat is stored.
Thanks.
I created a hodlcoin.conf file with just that line and it didn't take. This is just a spare computer I picked up and it didn't give me permission to write in program files directory so I just copied that whole directory to my c:/mining directory and restarted the program from there. Hopefully, that will be ok, as it did launch, but there must be other stuff needed in the hodlcoin.conf file.
Also, you said default is -1 which means all cores? I just want to use one core out of two.
