OK. Thanks for the help. I have one more issue.
I stopped the wallet while it was loading from bootstrap. After opening it back up again, it's stuck. The connections are there, but the import is stuck.
Mining from a pool, the emerald.conf file that I have to make will contain:
rpcuser=bla-bla
rpcpassword=bla-bla-bla
Where do I get the rpcuser and rpcpassword from?
make up what you want.
you will not have to remember them.
Normally, windows-QT wallet's don't require a config file.
So if you want to add things like:
addnode=
gen=
maxconnections=
you would have to create the config file.
If you are going to mine with a pool, you do not have to mess with a config file - it is not needed.
