Wit setgenerate true -1 in the qt-wallet, will I be mining all 5 algo types or not?
The .log file makes it appear like it's only trying to mine with sha.
No, it will only be mining the one algo you select in the .conf file.
I'm sorry for the very dumb question, but where is said file on windows?
I see no conf file in the wallet folder, nor in the %apddata%/myriadcoin folder.
