I installed the wallet on a different computer. It's connected now. Bootstrap loading is taking a while though.
How do I configure the minerd.exe program? The Emerald website states:
start the miner
./minerd -t -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://crypto.office-on-the.net:12125 -u -p x
Where does this go and what goes in the placeholder? I'm assuming the <> marks are removed.
Right now when I click on the minerd.exe file, it flashes a small screen for a second and disappears.
Also, do I have to add nodes to my wallet configuration?
lol...
The wallet is importing the blocks now. It's still not connected though.
Maybe an issue with your firewall?
I don't know of too many internet service providers that block those higher ports.
Have you ran any other wallets before?
I've never run any others. It might well be an issue with my firewall. Not sure how to check though.
usually when you first run the wallet, a windows system window will open and ask if you want to block or allow access.
in the control panel, click on windows firewall
click on "allow an app or feature through ..."
see if Emerald is in the list
Windows shows that my firewall is managed by the Norton firewall I have. I checked the Norton firewall settings, Emerald is on the list, and it has a setting of "allow" all inbound and outbound connections.
Guess we will wait for the bootstrap to finish.
I've never used the bootstrap - so I don't know if it will connect while loading it
