Electroneum Pool Miner v1.2 BETA

[ictcoder]

I'm located in Midwest USA

I installed this miner on a Del Inspiron laptop  with an Intel i7-363QM CPU with 8GB of RAM

I'm running Windows 10 Pro

I have the # of threads set to 12

Pool URL is set to dedpool.io/etn Previously I was using etn.pool.nocroom.com but the miner output was stating 'Starting Process' after a couple of hours.

Hash Rate, Total Shares and Bad shares all empty. 

I have excluded the directory in my MalwareBytes scanning.

I'm not looking to get rich doing this but hoping to learn some more about ETN and mining in general.

Is it normal to say Starting Process for a long time?

Also, when I go to the 'Your Stats & Payment History' on uspool.electroneum.com/ and enter my wallet address it says 'not found'. Not sure if that is because my local miner hasn't reached out yet or something else.

Any Recommendations?

Thank you!

I ended up using Windows Direct Miner which is available on downloads.electroneum.com/. I set up an exclusion for malwarebytes and ran the software it is now synchronizing...which can take along time BUT it is moving. electoneumd.exe is using ~53% cpu, 475MB of RAM and ~40Mbps of Network (depending on the work its doing)

Once synch is done I will give it the etn wallet address I got when I used the offline wallet generator (assuming 'offline' doesn't mean it is unavailable online...we'll find out I guess.

Hey ictcoder....what did you use for the Pool URL? And....is your synch done and working yet?

direct miner doesn't need a pool

[ictcoder]

Ikelemen is correct. The 'command line' miner needs no pool. You enter your wallet, the number of threads and hit enter.

Download the official GUI pool miner for CPU mining, this doesn't need syncing.
downloads.electroneum.com/Electroneum_Pool_Miner_v1.2_setup.exe


If you have a CLI wallet then you should have the CLI direct miner which will sync (https://github.com/electroneum/electroneum/releases/download/v0.11.0.0/win-x64-0.11.0.0.zip).

If you mine to your on-line wallet then no CLI direct miner is needed.


put a pool URL to the GUI pool miner URL field:
stratum+tcp://<pool URL>:<gate number>

for example this works for me
stratum+tcp://pool.etn.spacepools.org:3333

put your wallet address to the "Your ETN wallet address" field of the GUI pool miner, select number of threads and press start mining.

If you have a good GPU then you could use Awesome Miner to mine with your GPU.
Download it from here
www.awesomeminer.com/download/setup/AwesomeMiner.msi

The setup is a bit more complicated, you can find videos on youtube to help you or you can ask here again for help

Hi there I am using the same pool url as you but when I put my etn wallet address on the spacepools website to check activity
it says 'address not found'. I have been using this wallet ok since day one on the Electroneum Pool Miner v1.1 beta.
With the v1.2 beta version the miner seems to be trying to work but hash rate and share fields remain empty. Am I missing something ?

[lkelemen]

how did you create the wallet. What is the exact error message?

There are better miners out there than the Pool miner or the CLI miner, many with easier setup and more support and documentation. Check out this post for a few recommendations: electroneumtalk.proboards.com/post/5057/thread
Hopefully, this thread will have more recommendations as time goes on.
