There is no need for addnodes
When the wallet starts, it looks at a dedicated node for connections.

as for cpu mining - the ./minerd is for linux


For windows, if you want to join a pool, the easiest would be to make a batch file.
open up notepad and saving as START.BAT

the start.bat should go into the same folder as the minerd.exe

You will of course need to sign up for a pool, there should be several listed on the Emerald web site - just click the link in your wallet to open a browser to the home page.
Most pools have a help section that will explain things better, like how to make a worker, what port number to use ...

If you want to simply use your wallet to mine, you can add the line:
gen=1

to your emerald.conf file.(which you might have to create - in the same directory as the wallet.dat file C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Emerald )

emerald.conf
The gen=1 turns on the miner that's built into most wallets -
unfortunately, mining difficulty is high enough that I would be surprised if you found more that one block in a 24 hour time.

most mining pools are setup so that you get a share of each block found in proportion to the work you do.

make up what you want.
you will not have to remember them.

Normally, windows-QT wallet's don't require a config file.
So if you want to add things like:
addnode=
gen=
maxconnections=

you would have to create the config file.

If you are going to mine with a pool, you do not have to mess with a config file - it is not needed.

well now.
I have never tried using the bottstrap - so  have never ran into that problem.
My first thought is the wallet is "starting over" with the import - but you can't see anything happening until it gets back up to the block you stopped it at.
You should be able to tell if the hard drive light on your pc is mostly on - or flickering a lot.

It started back up, thankfully. What a relief. Now, ...lol... my antivrus program keeps removing minerd.exe.

I specifically excluded minerd's path in my antivirus program (Norton).
