Hello, I am fairly new to mining. I am having some issues with my wallet miner crashing while solo mining, and someone suggested that I use my hodl miner aimed at the wallet to circumvent the issue. What would I use in my batch file to do this? Thanks!

The network hash is very high at the moment. So in my opinion it is no good idea to start solo mining at the moment if you only have a usual PC. It will be very frustrating if you don't find any blocks for perhaps days or weeks. I would suggest that you start pool mining. You find different pools on the first page of this thread. Most pools have a short description how the batch file has to be configured.

I have a decent cpu, getting around 500h/s which nets me 1-4 blocks per 8 hour session (1 with the current network hash) which is far better than the 2-3 coins/hour i'd get from pool mining (at least that's what I get from optiminer). My problem is the wallet crashing while i'm away so I'm missing half of the night of mining. I brought this up on github and they didn't know why the wallet would be crashing, and neither do I, but someone suggested that I point my hodl miner at the wallet to circumvent the problem. I don't know what batch code would work for that however, what stratum/tcp/ip address? Is anyone doing this, and if so, what is your full batch file code? Thanks again! Grin

It should look something like this:

hodlminer.exe -o http://127.0.0.1:23110 -u mine -p miner -t 4 -D --coinbase-addr=RSKSygcgXt24qAU2UhkacypbxCkD6nk1PM

Of course use your own address for --coinbase-addr!

I get this error upon trying that ^
