Mining

Use the following instructions to mine.

The message “Syncing Headers (0,0%)” will disappear once you mine your first block.

Close your wallet and create the file bitcoinbronze.conf in the folder “%APPDATA%\bitcoinbronze\”.

Paste the following text into bitcoinbronze.conf and save the file.

rpcuser=rpc_bitcoinbronze
rpcpassword=f857307098687df529d102564
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=27809
listen=1
server=1
 

Open your wallet.

Create a .bat file named mine.bat in the same folder where you extracted bitcoinbronze-cli.exe and paste the following text into mine.bat.

@echo off
set SCRIPT_PATH=%cd%
cd %SCRIPT_PATH%
echo Press [CTRL+C] to stop mining.
:begin
bitcoinbronze-cli.exe generate 1
goto begin
 

Save the file.

Execute mine.bat to start mining your first block.

It will take about +/- 30 minutes to mine your first block, depending on your computer hardware.
