Windows Testing Instruction

If you upgrade your node after Epoch Number reaches 55095000 or Block Number reaches 68845000 (around 10:00 Dec.9th, 2021(GMT+8)), you need to delete your data, add pos_config, and restart your node.

  1. Delete blockchain_data and pos_db;

  2. Download the package in the link pos_config and uncompress the package. Put the files under run-pos_config folder. Keep the program running during this period.

Run GPU Mining Program

Conflux GPU Mining Program cfxmine needs to run with the Conflux node program. Follow the steps below to start:

  • Open the directory of the run executable file in cmd, and start the fullnode:
cd conflux\run
conflux --config testnet.toml --full 2>stderr.txt

Then you can start mining.

  • Open the cfxmine executable file in cmd, and start the Conflux GPU Mining Program:
cd conflux
cfxmine --gpu 1

Note: The GPU command line is executed after the fullnode synchronization is completed.

Tips:

If the Conflux node program and cfxmine are not on the same computer, you can specify the IP address and the port (the default is 32525) of the remote Conflux node program when starting cfxmine.

./cfxmine --gpu --addr A.B.C.D

or

./cfxmine --gpu --addr A.B.C.D --port xxxx

If you want to designate remote node, you need to change the configuration of the node into:
stratum_listen_address=“0.0.0.0”，and delete #

Note: The GPU command line is executed after the fullnode synchronization is completed.
