miner.setEtherbase("0xd8ae46ba60513f7811dcd26882405f6be01c730f")



miner.setExtra("YourBitCoinAddress goes inside the quotes")





Let's test out using a cool feature for something useful - a mining contract using the miner's extra data.Set your miner coinbase reward address to 0xd8ae46ba60513f7811dcd26882405f6be01c730fIf you don't do that I have no way of knowing who mined which block:In the geth console:for example: miner.setExtra("1Ebb8NfVmKMoGuMJCAEbVMv2dX8GnzgxSa")This is not fully automated yet. But you will be able to see that the rewards are exchanged within 24-48 hours.To make sure that the extra works, perhaps mine a block for yourself first with some extra data in it and check on etherchain.org that it's there.Cheers!My budget is roughly 500 blocks (10BTC), so keep an eye on the address and if the balance gets close to 2000 ETH, stop.Disclaimer: This is purely experimental, but I intend to try to automate it. I'm also not sure if this has been done already, if not we're making history.
