Anyone with a good config file? And should it be named animecoin.conf?
Hi, Antonio8,
Excuse me for my newbie question, but I'd really like to learn more and more about cryptocurrencies: What is the function of the config file in this case? I ask this, because I have been using Animecoin wallet (windows) for quite a some time now, and it mines about 10240ANI daily for me (solo mining on function). I don't usually have issues with the software but only sometimes when it freezes (maybe for being active non stop for a long time), but I restart it and it goes on doing it's job very fine (at least I see it as very fine, maybe because I have never had any other examples to compare).
What I've done: in the beginning, I have just downloaded the bundle software as offered at the Animecoin site, unzipped it, and started it running just like received. The only special config by me was to have manually opened port 8333 at my router's firewall and windows firewall: it usually has more than 8 active connections (case in which I believe I am contributing to the network).
If it is not much trouble, could you (or someone else) please give a light here: I'd like to know if I am doing things right.
Thanks
I am also still a rookie at this but here is from my understanding. Someone else can chime in also.
The configuration file is just basically a file that has everything assigned to help in solo mining. Like username and password, port, nodes to help with connections.
I do not personally like opening ports on my router.
So basically with the config file it allows the process of solo mining by bypassing port forwarding.
Just know that the config file must be placed in the coin's appdatta folder. Also you must create a shortcut of the coin qt file and assign the short cut to "-server".
Also with this method I can solo all 4 of my rigs to the same wallet.
