Getting Started Guide
- CGMiner Linux/Windows: Download here
- CGMiner Mac OS X: Download here
- CPU Miner Mac/Linux/Windows: precompiled binaries are available Download here.
Settings for Stratum (recommended):
STRATUM: | stratum+tcp://www.coin-base.org |
PORT: | 3453 HighEnd ASIC about 100GHash/s |
PORT: | 4453 (for GFX + slow ASIC up to 1GHash/s ) |
PORT: | 5453 (medium ASIC up to 10GHash/s ) |
PORT: | 6453 (fast ASIC up to 100GHash/s ) |
Username: | Weblogin.Worker |
Password: | Worker Password |
If you use a command-line miner, type:
./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://www.coin-base.org:3453 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password
./cgminer-nogpu -o tcp://www.coin-base.org:3453 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password
If you want, you can create additional workers with usernames and passwords of your choice Here
- Downloading the client & block chain: Download the emark client from here.
Generate a new address and input it on your account page to receive payments.
- Scrypt readme
- Don't set intensity too high, I=11 is standard and safest. Higher intensity takes more GPU RAM. Check for hardware errors in cgminer (HW). HW=0 is good, otherwise lower intensity :)
- Set shaders according to the readme (or look at your graphic cards specifications). Cgminer uses this value at first run to calculate thread-concurrency. Easiest way to get this optimized is to use same settings as others have used here: here.
- There's also an interesting project which gives you a GUI for cgminer. Windows only it seems.
- Here's a great guide how to get up and running with Xubuntu.
