Slushpool cgminer setup password#
I am assuming my username on slush pool is "Joe" my worker is called "feet" and my worker password is "toes". Make sure you are recursed in to the folder that BFGminer is in and run this code. If your on SSE2 run this command other wise i will have the other command a few lines below (again use screen. (fyi you could make it a bash script too) (run it in screen as well) once you know which SSE you are using, you can then start mining on slush's pool by using this command (make sure you recurse in to the directory that bfgminer is at). Now that you have created both a miner and have built BFGminer, figure out if you are on SSE2 or SSE4. the password would be password I used (in my example "toes"). So "Joe.feet" would be the username I would enter in my mining appplication (BFGMiner).

My new worker (also called miner or instance depending on the pool) would be named "Joe.feet" and the password would be "toes" My selected password would be "toes" for this example.Īfter you made a suffix and a password, you click "Save" and you are now back at the main portal. My entire worker name would be "Joe.feet". Once you entered your login suffix (For example If my username was "Joe" and my computer was called "Feet" (sorry inside joke with some friends have to use it), my suffix would be ".feet". I suggest not using your log in password since it is displayed without any encryption on your main log in thread. It’ll bring you to a page asking you for a login suffix (it is the way to designate each unique computer mining but having it tied to your account) you also are asked to use a password for that miner. Then, in that right section,is a list of workers under the heading "Workers". Once you have finished making BFGminer, go over to slush pool and Make sure you have git as well as your general building tools. (Hence mining in a pool)Ī quick tl dr because it looks like you are using a nix box: And if you some how manage to get a high diff share from that computer possible in a few thousand years you would get a block. So what you have is your own bitcoin instance which you could connect to and mine from.
Slushpool cgminer setup windows#
You need a mining application/program (I suggest BFGminer, if you are on windows then consider guiminer). I think you are slightly misunderstanding, but you are on a logical path. Not sure what is the minimum needed in this configuration file: I've been reading you can't have a period (. What I don't understand is how my pool id is ever connected to what's running on my machine? I also have no idea what to put for my rpcuser and rpcpassword to ensure it is unique.

Slushpool cgminer setup install#


I'm trying to start using an old tower to mine bitcoin and am slowly trying to make sense of the setup…
