    Very helpful tutorial, I couldn't get out of the starting gate without it.
    Everything seems to work until I run start_local.bat I get ths
    [2016-01-28 17:54:57] Started cgminer 3.7.2
    [2016-01-28 17:54:57] Started cgminer 3.7.2
    [2016-01-28 17:54:57] Probing for an alive pool
    [2016-01-28 17:54:57] Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid

    Should something be changed in the start_local.bat address, or am I missing something else?

    18:06:22 2016-01-29 [ERR] DCRW: invalid passphrase for master public key
    Constantly appears that the problem?

    1. dcrwallet -u walletuser -P walletpass --dcrdusername = [Должны быть такими же, как в шаге 1] --dcrdpassword = [Должны быть такой же, как в шаге 1] --noclienttls --noservertls
    walletuser ,walletpass -where to take them?

    If you are asking where you can find username & password for wallet, then you can simply decide them to be whatever you want.

    как dela?


    ---------------------------
    Also make sure your mining address is really the one that is in the wallet, when I did a getnewaddress it gave me a seed and a wrong address. I've seen this with other wallets too.

    What do you mean? Are you saying getnewaddress gave you a seed instead of an address? and what do you mean by wrong address? Do you mean invalid address when checked with "validateaddress"?

    But this line in step 5 doesnt end with -notls but -noservertls, does it make a difference?
    1. dcrwallet -u walletuser -P walletpass --dcrdusername=[must be same as in step 1] --dcrdpassword=[must be same as in step1] --noclienttls --noservertls
    im going to try it 1 more time to see how it goes.

    It was suggested by devs in some other thread to turn off TLS for windows. Its different for dcrwallet & dcrd. I just took their advice & it worked for me so i put it in the guide. All the best. :)

    Ok i got it finally to work omg, got my damn address pfff.

    Now when i right click on the bat file which i extracted it only says open, there is no open with so that i can open it with text document, weird. I have cgminer w32 version, but my pc is 64 bit, maybe because of that? afaik there was no cgminer w64 in the list given.

    That is great to hear! can you explain what was the problem? It might help others if they have similar problems.

    Also, you can open .bat for editing by dragging & dropping it on already open notepad. or if you have an "Edit" option use it, it will open .bat in notepad.

    Well i left out the square brackets and double checked the usernames and passwords. but i think it had to do with the latter because first time i dint insert square brackets.

    Ok im mining now, freaking awesome. running around 405 mh/s with 750 ti and i see 4 times "new block detected on network" does that mean i mined 4 blocks and got the 'test' decreds in that block? Where do i see how many test decreds i got?

    Also am i mining solo? and when mainnet launches are the steps excactly the same as now or are there differences to get it going?

    I had the same problem in Wndows 10. I first chose to show file extensions (google how to do this if you don't know for your specific operating system), then I changed the file extension from .bat to .txt, then the file automatically opened in notepad when opening it, I made the edits, saved the file, closed it, then changed the file extension back to .bat.

    So my suspicion was right. Its confusing to have 2 sets of user/pass.
    With mining, you will see something like "Accepted jfa9ggjt4" when you mine a block and number against A: in miner becomes more than 0. You can check your balance after 16 confirmation on your mined block ie if found block# 10 you will see your balance change after block# 26.
    "new block detected on network" means someone else mined a block.

    I guess you quoted the wrong post. Anyways, I think you are asking what the username should be. It could be anything you want, its like choosing a name for login, its your choice. Same thing applies to password. Just make sure you use the correct ones in following steps once you have chosen them.
