Solo mining

Edit mining.conf manually

1. Enter your passphrase into passphrase->decrypted
   • your passphrase is the password for your wallet-account
   • don't worry, it will be encrypted after the first run of the creepMiner
2. Enter your local ip and the port the local wallet is running at (127.0.0.1:8125) into
   1. miningInfoUrl
   2. poolUrl
   3. walletUrl (optional)
3. Set a low target deadline into targetDeadline
   • otherwise you will flood your local wallet with deadline requests
   • since you are solo-mining, it needs to be very low (recommendation: between 00:05:00 and 01:00:00)
   • you will not see any deadlines higher then this value
4. Make sure the wallet is running and up-to-date

If you want to solo mine, follow these points:

• add your passphrase in the config under passphrase->decrypted

    ...
    "passphrase" : {
        "algorithm" : "aes-256-cbc",
        "decrypted" : "<YOUR PASSPHRASE HERE>",
        "deleteKey" : false,
        "encrypted" : "",
        "iterations" : 0,
        "key" : "",
        "salt" : ""
    },
    ...

• start the creepMiner
• it will automatically encrypt your passphrase and write all informations into the fields
• the decrypted field will be cleared, so no one can see your plain passphrase anymore

If you want to, you can activate the option to delete the key after every start of the creepMiner.

Just set the field passphrase->deleteKey to true

    ...
    "passphrase" : {
        ...
        "deleteKey" : true,
        ...
    },
    ...

If you now start the miner, the passphrase->key field will be cleared and you have to enter it again. Remember your key, otherwise you can't decrypt it anymore and have to encrypt your passphrase again.
