Newbie with Big learning curve! *struggling with cmd line*

Hey! thanks :)

Pool mine was my plan using give-me-coins

My plan was to mine feather coins.

i have researched a lot into the issue today and found a way that seems to fix it, i just don’t know how to add command line flags :( restarting the client every 15 mins worked till, like others to got to the point i am now. next release could be ages away! was hoping to have this running my now :(

Its not the profit i’m thinking of so to speak! i render/fold 24/7 on this workstation. using 22 cores and the gpu at night. if im doing heavy cpu tasks it gets paused or the core count reduced. what i am getting at is the workstation runs 24/7 so may as well be for some sort of gain!

Main thing to fix at the moment is how to add flags. how do i add these 2 flags to try get around this issue as i found a few threads down.
Os is windows 10 :( wallet version is the newest available to download as of 16 hours ago from Feathercoin site.

Ok then there is 2 things to seperate.

1/ your wallet (this is not for mining)
2/ your miner (this is not for managing coins ^^)

If you want to mine on Give-me-coin, you only need to set up a miner.
I think it’s NSgminer you have to check. ;)

To launch your wallet with a flag here the process on Windows :
Right click on Feathercoin-qt.exe
-> Properties
-> In the main tab just type your flag after “feathercoin-qt.exe” on the top next after FTC logo.
-> Then click on OK

You are done. ;)

Thanks for clarifying that, i did know that but always better for someone to say it ;)

i can setup NSGminer ok it seems just i dont have a wallet ID… tired using the one in the receiving address and that doesn’t work, nor does private address.

managed to get the fag thing working after some googling shortly after your first reply, small error of not copying the shortcut, kept saying path was invalid!

Added the two flags recommended and still doesnt got past 751… starting to annoy me now…

If you aim to use Give-me-coin, you have to pass the stratum address of give-me-coin in your NSGminer command.

You will then set up your wallet address, in the settings part of your give-me-coin account (i.e. on give-me-coin web site).

Hope it’s help I’ll try to find a command I use for you. (could take some times. ;) )

looarn

minerd.exe --url=stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 --userpass=YOUR_LOGIN.YOUR_WORKER:YOUR_PASSWORD

Important, you need of course to have set an acocunt in give-me-coin.com
You have to create a worker under FTC in give-me-coin.com

Then all should be good.

Thanks for saying :) been following threads and videos on it.

Seems even getting to that stage is ages away :(

i have created an account and set it all up ready for when syncing has finished, except for the wallet address because i do not have that yet :(

looarn

Well just run your feathercoin-qt and go in receive address, then you got one. ;)
Appear as a non issue to me. :D (As you don’t need to be sync, to have an address)

@looarn

Ah when i tried that on give me coin it said it wasn’t valid! hmmm will go have another go.

guessing there is a large risk here any credit gained will be lost because of this sync comedy?

looarn

No risk at all.

If you have FTC addresse, just save your wallet in order to don’t lose it. ;)

@looarn

Thanks for your help :)

Did 9 hours last night and now have some coins! Lets hope this wallet sync sorts itself out!
