I was told by someone else here, I will need to create a batch file with some details and execute that.
I have never installed a miner before so I got no idea what I'm doing :-) .. but I really want to mine this coin for some reason.
Anyway, thanks for the link, I downloaded and ran miners-bdver1 .. assuming thats the right one, but I get an error when i run it.
HTTP failed: Failed connect to 127.0.0.1:9332; No error and then
json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds.
Will creating that batch file in the same folder as the miner executable fix this?
Thanks again
You can't just execute the exe. You have to pass parameter to that exe to what pool you want to connect and that's what you do with the .bat file.
127.0.0.1 is your local IP or in simpler words your own PC. This you can only use if you solo mine (you have to start the wallte before and create a config for it) which is already impossible to do. You will never find a block.
My advice check out some pools some have good GetStarted helps.
But more importand. Be very carefully what you download and execute. It's really extremly dangerous in the crypto world. You can not trust anyone.
Always check the wallets with:
