MINING INSTRUCTIONS

Before you get started, you will need the username and password you created in the TalonPower.conf file (check second post in this thread).

CPU Mining
If you don't have it, download Pooler's CPU Miner: https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer/releases

Once you've extracted it, create a .txt file in the folder, then rename it with a ".bat" extension (if the file is still showing as a .txt filetype after changing it to .bat, you probably have file extensions hidden. Go to the "view" tab in Explorer and check the "File Name Extension" box, then try renaming the file again)

Now you can open your bat file with Notepad, and copy the following text and add in your username and password from above:

Code:

minerd --url http://127.0.0.1:4210 --userpass Username_From_TalonPower.Conf:Password_From_TalonPower.Conf --threads 3

The last part about "threads" refers to how many cores of your CPU will be mining, change at your discretion.

GPU Mining
If you don't have it, download Tpruvot's CCMiner 2.2: https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases

Once you've extracted it, rename one of the included sample .bat files to "TalonPower.bat" and then put in the following text, making sure to update the username and password:

Code:

ccminer-x64 -a scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:4210 -u USERNAME_FROM_TALONPOWER.CONF -p PASSWORD_FROM_TALONPOWER.CONF
pause

It is normal for the miner to throw an "error" saying it's switching to getwork method when you first start it up. It will then start an "auto-tune" for 2 minutes to determine the best settings for your GPU. You can disable this by adding "--no-autotune" to your .bat file.

Thanks for the update...

anyone who is part of a mining pool please let us know any info we need to get started with your pool
