I run the free version. Just downloaded and started the .bat file. Is that all to it? It is running by the looks of it. Anyway, how do I see the number of connections on the wallet, because I cannot have the wallet running at the same time right? (It asked me to close the wallet when I tried to start it the first time).
More technical. How does the miner know how to connect to the rcp-port? I have a custom user/pass combo. And how does it know to what address in the wallet to put the block money? Nothing in the bat-file points to rcp/wallet/me.
Wallet-handling code is the same as in hp11 miner, so I just don't really know the details.
Did I miss something and am I mining so my eventual block will be gone forever?
A new adrress will be created in your wallet, and XPMs will be there. There is nothing in your setup that prompts losing the block.
