Also voted, and I seem to be the only one mining now on the stablecoin.miningpool.co pool.

I included putting it in the startup menu for full automation. I do not do this because I do not want it to run automatically at this time.When I was trying to figure it out, I could not find this information in an easy to use form. This is what I meant by "have not seen a good guide."This is not copypasta, as I just wrote this based on my own experience from scratch, and it is not copied, in part or in whole, from any other source.

I was trying to help people get started in Windows without a gui, but that gui does look promising.

No, I assume you mean copy paste, and I did not copy it from anywhere. This is just a simple way for new miners to streamline their process in windows without using a gui. If anyone has any other questions, I will try to answer them.

So, I was looking to automate my mining process in Windows, but I was unable to find a good guide on how to do this. I am new to mining, and I have fairly limited computer expertise. After some experimentation, I figured out a simple way to bring up cgminer with the proper settings automatically. This should work for bitcoins, litecoins, or any other that cgminer supports.

So, pre-step 1:
Make sure you have cgminer, catalyst control center, etc. installed properly.

Step 1: Open notepad

Step 2: type this in to notepad, with the appropriate modifications:
cd (your cgminer folder path)
cgminer (your options)

example:
cd C:/Users/Your Username/Downloads/cgminer-3.1.0-windows/
cgminer --scrypt -u yourusername.1 -p yourpassword -o yourminingpool:port -I yourintensity

Step 3: Click File, save as, and on the drop down menu select "All files", and save it as something.bat into whatever folder you want. If you want it to start automatically on startup, save it to your startup folder in the start menu. I saved mine to the desktop for convenience.

Step 4: Double click on your .bat file, a command line should pop up and begin mining.

That is it. It is really that simple.

Note: Any time you want to change any settings, right click on your .bat file and click "edit"
