Quick How-To Guide
I was recently approached by a gamer who had built a system over this past holiday season and wanted to get into mining with some of his rig’s spare cycles. We chatted a bit and decided LOKI had the most promise, so here is a quick how-to on what we did for his rig.
Download and install the LOKI Electron wallet from:
https://github.com/loki-project/loki-electron-gui-wallet/releases
Once the wallet is downloaded, install it, create a loki address, and copy your wallet seed. You will need that in case you have to reinstall it somewhere else, some day.
Now for the fun part
Download the latest version of XMRIG from here (this will be your mining software)
https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases
Unzip the file to your desktop. You may have to add some exceptions to your Anti-Virus for it to work, because AV loves to throw all sorts of false positives
Once it is unpacked, open the XMRig Folder
Right click on START.BAT
Select Edit
Delete everything in this file, and replace it with the following:
@echo off
xmrig.exe -a cn-trtl --donate-level 1 -o loki.miner.rocks:4005 -u WALLET-ADDRESS-HERE -p w=Rig1 -k -o ca.loki.miner.rocks:4005 -u
WALLET-ADDRESS-HERE -p w=Rig1 -k
pause
Save the File, and Exit
Now double click on Start.bat
You will see your machine start mining LOKI
