Welcome to the creepMiner wiki!

Quickstart Quide

1. Download and unzip

1. Download the latest version of the creepMiner for your OS
   • use the 32-bit-version only if your system is 32 bit
   • if you are not sure if you have a 64-bit-system, try the 64-bit-version first (it will show an error if it is actually a 32-bit-system)
   • the pre-compiled version for Linux is only for Ubuntu/Debian-distributions
2. Unpack the content to where you want it to be
3. Open mining.conf with an editor of your choice

2. Configuration

2.1 Plot-files

1. Enter all plot directories you want to be read while mining into plots
   • on Windows, it looks like this: C:\\plots (double \\)
   • on Unix, it looks like this: /Users/abc/plots
   • if you have multiple plot dirs, separate them with a comma: "C:\\dir1", "C:\\dir2"
   • pro-tip: there are different types of plot dirs (sequiential and parallel)

Now you have 2 choices: solo or pool mining.

2.2 Solo-Mining (only if you have a looooot of mining power in form of hard disks)

1. Enter your passphrase into passphrase->decrypted
   • your passphrase is the password for your wallet-account
   • don't worry, it will be encrypted after the first run of the creepMiner
2. Enter your local ip and the port the local wallet is running at (127.0.0.1:8125) into
   1. miningInfoUrl
   2. poolUrl
   3. walletUrl (optional)
3. Set a low target deadline into targetDeadline
   • otherwise you will flood your local wallet with deadline requests
   • since you are solo-mining, it needs to be very low (recommendation: between 00:05:00 and 01:00:00)
   • you will not see any deadlines higher then this value
4. Make sure the wallet is running and up-to-date
5. Start the miner

2.3 Pool-Mining

1. Enter the ip and the port (http://...:8124) of the pool into
   1. miningInfoUrl
   2. poolUrl
2. (optional) Set a target deadline into targetDeadline or erase it
   • you will not see any deadlines below this value
   • if you leave this field empty, there is no target deadline
   • if the pools target deadline is lower then yours, the miner will use it
3. Start the miner
