Client version

If you are running a pool or are solo mining, you have to make sure that you are running the latest version of the Titcoin client. Go to https://github.com/titcoin/titcoin/releases to see what the most recent version is!

In order to find out what version of the Titcoin client you are currently running, there are several options:

  • If you are running the graphical wallet:
    • The version will show up on the splash screen during startup
    • Go to Help -> Debug window -> Look at the "Client version"
  • Start the program (titcoind or titcoin-qt) using the -version switch on the command line
  • Use the getnetworkinfo RPC call, look at the version or subversion field.

Solo mining (mini tutorial)

  1. Download BFGMiner: http://bfgminer.org/

  2. Go to the Titcoin data directory. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory

  3. Create a plain text file called titcoin.conf (not titcoin.conf.txt!) with the following content:

rpcuser=someusername
rpcpassword=somepassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1

  1. Start the Titcoin wallet and leave it open while you mine. Create a new payment request called "mined" or something similar. You will use this address to receive block rewards.

  2. Execute the following in a command prompt (For running Windows exe files in a command prompt, see: https://www.howtogeek.com/209694/running-an-.exe-file-via-command-prompt/):

bfgminer.exe -o http://localhost:8697 -u someusername -p somepassword
	--coinbase-addr 1yourminingaddressxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
	--stratum-port=3333
(OR)    --http-port=3333
  • You need to write everything on one line. 8697 is the Titcoin RPC port. Choose between using --stratum-port and --http-port depending on what protocol your miner supports.
  1. Then connect your miner to:
stratum+tcp://localhost:3333
(OR) http://localhost:3333
