Re: [ANN] Grin | PoW Mining | Electronic transactions for all. Community driven.
I really despise coins that launch with only a cli client. It is so 90s. Also, not having an official Windows version is not forgivable. Correct me if I am wrong, didn't Satoshi launch BTC with both a GUI and Windows compatible?
I have found the miner that is compatible with Windows and have mined it a little, starting yesterday. However, the cooling on my desktop is shitty, especially for the CPU. I don't like to see my CPU temps running in the 70s with spikes in the 90s. So I have only been running it for about an hour here and there.
I haven't bothered setting up a node yet. I haven't used the VM in over a year and don't think it is worth it to run a node via Vultr.
(As an aside, I am running Grin Gold Miner, and I think it's funny that it stores my password in plain text.
But so does BTC RPC. Oh well.)
The password is just to create the account if you're mining on grinmint, you can take the password out of the config file and continue miningI have found the miner that is compatible with Windows and have mined it a little, starting yesterday.
