How to CPU mine Myriadcoin using Windows
Get a wallet address.
Go to www.myriadcoin.org/ and get a wallet address. It'll look like: MUZxNptmnR4H2fMzuu2uwfbPiGB34iCKQW
Get the mining software.
The myriadcoin website recommends cpuminer-opt which is at github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt/releases. There are others which should also work, like cpuminer-multi which can be found at github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi.
I'll try cpuminer-opt. At that page, download the zip file, which looks like cpuminer-opt-3.17.0-windows.zip (it might change with updates). Unzip that zip file and stick it wherever you wish. There really is no installing of software, just unzip the zip file. Inside, you'll see files like this:
Customize the start script.
To mine, you need a script like below:
cpuminer-avx.exe -a argon2d4096 -o stratum+tcp://mine.zpool.ca:4240 -u MUZxNptmnR4H2fMzuu2uwfbPiGB34iCKQW -p c=XMY,zap=XMY
The underlined print is stuff you may want to change. You definitely want to change the XMY address.
To break this down...
cpuminer-avx.exe // This means run the cpuminer software
argon2d4096 // This refers to the algorithm, you can try the ones listed for CPUs on Myriadcoin.org (argon2d4096 or yescrypt). You likely will need to try each of the xxxx.exe files until you find one that works. Just right-click the .bat file, choose edit, type in a new “cpuminer-avx.exe” file, save it and try it. The ones like cpuminer-avx----.exe are for argon2d, and cpuminer-sse1.exe is for yescrypt. (Yescrypt did not work for me, argon2d did.)
-o stratum... // Describes the pool. I had success mining with the zpool.ca pool. There are others too that can be tried, I believe, but that one worked for me.
-u MUZ... // Is the user or miner. You want to put your own XMY address in here.
-p // Refers to an optional password.
-c // I think refers to which coin to mine
To make it easier to start mining, create a “batch file” (.bat file).
Open Notepad.
Paste in the script above, so mine looks like:
cpuminer-avx.exe -a argon2d4096 -o stratum+tcp://mine.zpool.ca:4240 -u MUZxNptmnR4H2fMzuu2uwfbPiGB34iCKQW -p c=XMY,zap=XMY
Save the file with the extension .bat and make sure it's in the same folder as all of the cpuminer-opt folder. It doesn't matter what you name it, just make sure it ends with .bat (and not .bat.txt).
My file is called:
start_myriadcoin_miner.bat
You might need to change the cpuminer-avx.exe part of the script to another cpuminer-xxxxxx.exe listed in the cpuminer-opt folder. Just try until it works.
You also might want to right-click on your .bat start file and create a shortcut. You can then put it anywhere you wish for convenience.
