Hey it's not a problem! When the coin is released pm me if you have any issues.

There's a way of setting up multiple windows but that's a little awkward to explain so the next best thing is to open another terminal after you've begun the mining, you can right click the title bar of Putty and click "Duplicate session" to do this easily, then just sign in with the same user as before.


You can execute other commands here too, most of the ones found here I think https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list but I'm not sure of how to use the ones with arguments etc.

You don't have to stop mining to check your balance, using purely the daemon might not be ideal, but it's fine while you want to solo mine at the start I think.
