RUM AND CARROTS: A PIRATE LIFE FOR ME







LegendaryActivity: 1176Merit: 1001RUM AND CARROTS: A PIRATE LIFE FOR ME Terracoin a FPGA coin? November 03, 2012, 07:08:02 PM #1 As terracoin seems to be more or less just a copy of Bitcoin. It could prove tempting in the coming ASIC days as a FPGA coin. There are a large number of Bitcoin FPGA's that won't mine LTC and won't be competitive against ASICS. As Terracoin is new, a copy that is likely to get mocked to no end, regular GPU miners will most likely prefer to Mine LTC. But FPGA's wont have the luxury, and since BTC is actually valuable ASICS's will hang out in BTC world (for now). So perhaps that makes Terracoin and ideal FPGA coin (for now)? more or less retired.

Holy crap, I mined my first 20 TRC in under 30 minutes with just 25Mhash/s!

Nice! Difficulty is low right now so it's easy to mine blocks. Unlike some other coins the rewards aren't super high do don't feel bad about not having a million coins 2 days after you first hear about it. :-) Nice!

Thank you for your quick reply. I do have the Terracoin wallet installed. I did download BFGMiner, but I haven't configured it.



I don't have the Terracoin client (wallet) set up as a sever. I think that is what you are asking.



I currently have GUIminer installed.



I know that I need more instructions to get mining software confirgured to work with Terracoin.



I have to go to work in several hours so I won't be able to respond to your reply for another 16 or so hours.

OK hope I can help here... as I have GUI Miner setup on a comp, along with the TRCoin client and have successfully mined some Terracoins.



All I did was:



1) download the Terracoin client from terracoin.org (the sourceforge project)



2) Unzip all the files.



3) Double click the Terracoin-qt to start the wallet.... and create the necessary folders in your %appdata% folder



4) On windows (XP or 7 or Vista i believe) click the windows start icon > Run... (or Search) and type in %appdata% including the % at the start and end.... This opens your "Roaming" directory.



5) open the Terracoin folder



6) I use Notepad++ to create a file called terracoin.conf (important NOT to have the .txt at the end) in this directory



7) add the following lines to your conf file.... (Change ur username and Password to ones unique to you)



server=1

rpcuser=YOURMINERUSERNAME

rpcpassword=YOURMINERPASS

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

rpcport=18332



(NOTE you can add the line.... gen=1 to the bottom as this will use the client to use your CPU in attempting to generate blocks... but you do NOT NEED to do this if you have another mining software installed...)



Now I simply put the following values in my GUIMiner and chugged away with the Hashes



Pool = Other

Host = 127.0.0.1

Port = 18332

Username = YOURMINERUSERNAME

Password = YOURMINERPASS

flags = (whatever your setting you like... but i use -v -w128 to squeeze a bit more out of one or two of my cards)



9) you have to have the Terracoin -qt ... OR the terracoind daemon running in order to be able to connect your mioner to the host you have specified, but so long as you have the client running, and have your config file setup correctly, and your GUIMiner configered correctly, you should be able to mine to your hearts content.....



Hope this helps and I do hope to be experimenting a little with this Terracoin in the next few days/weeks as I have some coding ability etc and want to get to grips with some other areas of cryptocurrencies... like the blockexplorer and a mining pool.. and figured this would be a good coin to practice on... rather than BTC

I feel the same way. Doing what's already been done, just doesn't feel as satisfying for some reason. Even if it's only a minor difference. I feel the same way.

Thank you Strata.



I setup my GUIMiner and Terracoin client as you instructed. I ran the miner last night for about 8 hours and it only accepted 10 shares. It seems to be running with one Nvidia card at 1.2Mhash. CPU usage on the 4 threads is 100% and even running the 2nd Nvidia card doesn't do much to effect the share acceptance.



It used to run close to 30 MHash with bitcoin client in a pool running both cards. I guess this mining operation for Terracoin is less efficient.



It'll probably take a month before I get lucking and solve a block and get 20TBC.



What do you think?

(or Search) and type in %appdata% including the % at the start and end.... This opens your "Roaming" directory.5) open the Terracoin folder6) I use Notepad++ to create a file called terracoin.conf (important NOT to have the .txt at the end) in this directory7) add the following lines to your conf file.... (Change ur username and Password to ones unique to you)server=1rpcuser=YOURMINERUSERNAMErpcpassword=YOURMINERPASSrpcallowip=127.0.0.1rpcport=18332(NOTE you can add the line.... gen=1 to the bottom as this will use the client to use your CPU in attempting to generate blocks... but you do NOT NEED to do this if you have another mining software installed...)Now I simply put the following values in my GUIMiner and chugged away with the HashesPool = OtherHost = 127.0.0.1Port = 18332Username = YOURMINERUSERNAMEPassword = YOURMINERPASSflags = (whatever your setting you like... but i use -v -w128 to squeeze a bit more out of one or two of my cards)9) you have to have the Terracoin -qt ... OR the terracoind daemon running in order to be able to connect your mioner to the host you have specified, but so long as you have the client running, and have your config file setup correctly, and your GUIMiner configered correctly, you should be able to mine to your hearts content.....Hope this helps and I do hope to be experimenting a little with this Terracoin in the next few days/weeks as I have some coding ability etc and want to get to grips with some other areas of cryptocurrencies... like the blockexplorer and a mining pool.. and figured this would be a good coin to practice on... rather than BTCany donations greatly appreciatedTRC: 1FzdruHpffAeW2ZBctDLwR8P4APVpATu2jBTC: 1FvMYwtkrQakoL8Zq1GjfKqTkm2a7TKt6NLTC: LbMPUzwPRkWa5hCJGrEiRCeoYExY6Ujt1DLQC: vbJVpeF82Ezd3Dx8ubWeiFeEguFwPctzJLI0C: jU8MuSJcw7XmauyddGFSoo5HzEAPgjxfszIXC: xhUfkeNiVGaWFkEcuv8tTUGHX6PLt9dZ94PPC: PDtcFPhMa9Hc9zTfoRG7zcURCRpcpRdMym



Thanks subSTRATA ,



I finally got it up an running Tuesday night. It has accepted over 400 shares on each of the two nVidia cards. But, as I have seen today, apparently solo mining for terracoin is becoming if not too difficult. So now I need to find a pool.





Fuzzybear thank you for your help too.



Do either of you know of an easy way to join a terracoin pool?



I started reading a bit about it, but since I have a day job, my time is limited to late nights and weekends to catch up on BTC and now TRC.



Thanks again,
