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.
in the hodlcoin.conf file you need to put genproclimit=1 ( without the dash in front of it, only needed when passing it as a flag to startup binary )
yes hodlcoin.conf file can contain other parameters , here is an example:
rpcuser=miner
rpcpassword=yourRPCpassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1
p2pport=1989
rpcport=11989
daemon=1
gen=1
minermemory=1
genproclimit=1
upnp=0
miningaddress=MY_HODL_MINING_ADDRESS
Thanks again.
OK, sorry to bug you when I might be able to find this online, but just for the continuity of the discussion, you keep saying =1 means all cores, I only want to use one of two cores, so the flag might be =0? This is often how I find tech info, like a old dialog here or some other forum, so to those who say "google it" lol. A lot of tech coin mining info is still actually hard to find.
This is a really long thread. It would be good to periodically state how to mine this coin with its wallet. I hate looking through triple digit long threads for info, and then one has to make sure the info is still current.
What I gather is that you need your mining address put in this wallet, and then they get redeposited back to you as being coins received into the wallet? Is the address just simply our received address as given by the wallet? Is the pool address hardcoded in?
Do we need this stuff if we are in the wallet already: rpcpassword=yourRPCpassword ?
