Can someone please tell me how to find the "profile" folder that is mentioned for solo mining? How do I solo mine? Thanks!!
If your a windows 7 user, its in Appdata>Roaming, It will be called 'Execoin' .You will need to make a .conf file ( a text document that is file named 'Execoin.conf' & saved as 'All types'
An example conf file would look like this: ( I could not find a p2p port.. so the one in the example below is not correct. All info was taken from PG 1 OP ANN for the coin)
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pw
rpcport=9988
p2pport=15555
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
addnode=95.85.26.197
addnode=107.170.240.30
addnode=162.243.136.142
addnode=128.199.233.179
addnode=198.211.100.64
addnode=107.170.12.174
addnode=188.226.130.205
addnode=128.199.234.28
addnode=95.85.39.247
addnode=192.99.4.189
addnode=162.243.103.75
addnode=192.241.152.198
addnode=107.170.79.10
addnode=37.139.3.206
addnode=188.226.169.188
addnode=107.170.227.175
addnode=128.199.221.109
addnode=107.170.227.176
addnode=188.226.169.189
addnode=192.241.128.215
addnode=107.170.79.12
User name can be anything you want, same with password
What you need to be sure is 100% correct is the EXE coins RPC port & EXE coin Nodes. ( the info in above example is from the PG 1 OP ANN )
Once you have your conf file created with the appropriate data, and it is placed i the Execoin appdata folder, you need to turn your miner to the 'rpcconnect:rpcport' for the url, rpc user is the user name, and rpcpassword is the password you chose.
After that is configured, you need to run the wallet and let it
fully sync.
Once it is fully synced, you can then solomine to the wallet.
When you are solomining, due to the fast block times, you will frequently see some text on your miner to the affect of 'new block found on network', that
DOES NOT mean you found that block. When YOU find a block.. it will say ( as an example )
CPU 0 found New Block for Pool!At the current difficulty, solomining may be less productive than other methods, unless you have lots of Hash to compete with the Network Hash.
Good luck
