If you didn't register for airdrop just ignore this. • Already created username & passwords for dcrd & dcrwallet, both should be different for maximum security.

• Already created public & private passphrase for wallet, both should be different for maximum security. • & key/password to unzip it.

You will need (for windows) or (for linux) software to unzip this file. • Latest version of. • Register on a pool if you don't want to do solo mining & create workers. Running Daemon i.e.

Dcrd.exe • Extract the mainnet binaries. Goto the folder where you extracted the binaries. • Open a command window in folder. • enter following command: • This will start the daemon & it will start syncing the mainnet blockchain. Importing the Airdrop seed & Creating an address for solo mining • open a new command window in folder where you extracted mainnet binaries. Enter this command in the command window • Command window will ask you to input a wallet passphrase. Enter a passphrase you created as prerquisite for dcrwallet & Press enter.

Note: While entering the passphrase, command window will show no activity but it is accepting your input. • Confirm your passphrase by typing it again & press enter • Now it will ask you for a passphrase for public data.

Choose yes, and enter the public passphrase you created as prerequisite. Remember this passphrase as you will need it for staking in the future. • Note: Make sure you enter your seed with only spaces (no line breaks). Total of 32 space-separated words. Also seed is case sensitive. If you want to verify a seed, use 'verify.bat' included with utility you used to create your airdrop address. How To Mine ZCoin XZC On Minergate.

• It will now ask if you have existing wallet seed. Choose Yes (If you have a AirDrop wallet seed). Now is the time to get your airdrop seed, the one that you saved when you confirmed your airdrop registration. Enter your seed with only spaces (no line breaks).

Now press enter only when you have typed the whole seed. (If you dont have AirDrop wallet seed. Then just continue to follow the prompts. You have now imported your airdrop hopefully.

Or, have generated a new wallet!! • Now run your wallet using following command: • Skip following steps if you don't need a new address for mining or already created one. • This will start the wallet & connect it to daemon so that wallet becomes upto date. • Now that wallet is running & connected to daemon. • Open a new command window & run: • Copy the address shown, you will need it for solo mining.

Remember/store this passphrase as you will need it for staking in the future. • It will now ask if you have existing wallet seed. As this is your first wallet, choose no. • This will create a wallet file save your seed in a safe place and type OK. • After that enter this command: • This will start the wallet & connect it to daemon so that wallet becomes upto date. • Now that wallet is running & connected to daemon. • Open a new command window & run: • Copy the address shown, you will need it for solo mining.

Check screenshots of the steps till now: Mining Solo • Now goto command window running daemon that we started in step1 of 'Running Daemon' & press ctrl+c. This will stop the daemon. • Restart the daemon with following command.

(you can use the same command window): • Now that both wallet and daemon are running & synced, its time to mine. • Unzip cgminer. You will find start_local.bat file in the unzipped folder. • Open it using a text editor & change -u & -p to your username & password used with daemon.

Also change the port to 9109 instead of 19109 Save it. • IMPORTANT: change http to https • Run start_local.bat and your gpus will start solo mining.

Mining on the pool • Follow Mining solo guide until step 4. • After that open start_local.bat in a text editor. • For MaxMiners pool, use: Diff 1: Diff 4: • For, use: Diff 1: Diff 4: Diff 8: Diff 64: • For pool, use: • For pool, use: • For pool. Use: • Here 'webloginID' is your username you chose on the pool while creating your account. You can click the name of a pool above to see their Getting started Guide. Create your workers.

Workername & workerpassword are explained there. Try the high-diff port if you're having lots of rejects. Thanks @sambiohazard for the help!

A quick reminder that in a few hours the official launch of, a new interesting PoW/PoS altcoin is happening. Decred is currently running on testnet with the official launch of the mainnet planned on 12:00 PM CST February 8th, 2016 – you can watch. Here crypto currency uses Blake256 14-rounds algorithm for mining and there is a cgminer fork () already available, though currently only getwork is supported and not stratum. The cgminer for Decred GPU mining is available below, compiled for 64-bit Windows, ready for mining solo or on some of the mining pools for DCR.

This cgminer works on both AMD and Nvidia GPUs as the currently available ccMiner forks from tpruvot and sp do not yet have support for Decred even though they do have support for Blake256 14-rounds algorithm. List of mining pools for Decred (DCR): – – – – – – – – List of exchanges to trade Decred (DCR): – – – – If you manage to catch the official launch it is better to start by solo mining with a local wallet as this might be more profitable at the start and then switch to some of the available Decred (DCR) mining pools. This might be a bit of a challenge however as there is no yet a GUI wallet for the coin, so you will need to use the console version of the wallet to make things work before you are able to start mining solo.

There are already binaries available for the wallet, but they are password protected and the password will be posted at the coin’s launch. So you have a few hours to get everything downloaded and ready for the official launch, you can even test on the testnet before the launch of the main network to make sure everything is working properly. – Other Similar Publications: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •. If this fork of cgminer produces too many rejects when mining this new altcoin then it is not worth and you should optimze and beta-test the code first before publishing any releases. I’m a c/c++ programmer myself, although I’m not into forking software for mining, but I have to say that there are many incompetent coders out there who don’t know how to write fast and reliable code. Rejects are mostly caused by hardware errors.

And hw errors are the result of operating the hardware in an inproper fashion. If this is about operating a GTX 750 then you have to know the gfx card inside out, in order how to properly access and execute the GPU’s internal hardware-built functions and take the most performance out of it. We already had those problems with cgminer back in the days of LTC mining with Gridseed until a version of cgminer came out in 2014 which was able to mine Litecoins using Gridseed hardware in the most efficient way with only a few rejects and hw errors. In other words, coders usually need their time to figure out how to wirte proper source to properly operate a certain target hardware. You can’t build common code for all gfx cards or all hardware device. Every hardware is different and requires its special software and drivers to use in the best and most efficient way. In the case of DCR I suggest to wait until an optimzed or better version of cgminer is forked by someone out there.
