Well done. If you are copying the backup in then paste did it say are you sure you want to copy over wallet.dat?
P.S. you can also give kudos by up voting posts, the up arrow at the bottom right.
-
Gotta go now, I’ll check back later, did you get the wallet.dat copied and restart the feathercoin-qt.exe?
-
@wrapper Hi wrapper, under wallet.DAT edit which had all the info I pressed paste .Will wait and see what happens…Alan
-
You should see a different date for the new (backup) file?
You haven’t described what you have done enough to know if you have done it correctly
Opened explorer found and opened the USB, right clicked on wallet.dat, chose copy from the menu
then in file explorer --opened C:\users\youruser\ %APPDATA% \ roaming found Feathercoin
Clicked on that folder and pasted the backup wallet.dat file - are you sure you want to over write wallet.dat? then clicked yes. Then restarted feathercoin-qt.exe
later - gotta go.

@wrapper Hi wrapper, it all seems to have gone wrong. I pasted USB stick info into wallet, and then feathercoin app would not open saying… wallet corrupt…then tried to start again by uninstalling everything and re installing .But it just keeps saying wallet corrupt. Tried this a few times, changed browsers etc but to no avail…Alan
-
@harmoye22 Did you copyed all files over or just the wallet.dat?
You should only paste the wallet.dat into the directory.

@tobi97l Hi Tobi, bit pointless now as can’t get into my feathercoin wallet. Downloaded new wallet but , just the same script appears…wallet corrupt…Alan

Fraid we can’t diagnose whats up without seeing it, running blind here. You can fix currupt wallets (if that is the problem) or extract the keys. You will need someone with more computer knowledge to help.
-
@wrapper Thanks wrapper, think I have just located a geek, so will let you know how I get on.Thanks for your help…very best, Alan
-
Let us know what he finds, we can chat him through it, if he/she gets a better idea where you stand.
-
Okay wrapper, will do…Alan

How to mine using Intel HD Graphics?
-
@mamoonfarooq Tbh i don’t even know if there is a miner for Intel HD Graphics. But even if there would be one you shouldn’t use it if you have to pay for electricity. The electricity costs would be higher than the payout so you wouln’t gain any money. The intel gpu is very weak.

Hello! Good work!

So tell me, can I mine Feathercoin with Zeus Thunder miners?
I use Minera on a Pi Raspberry. I am an old skool miner from 2014, in that time there was only scrypt and SHA256.
But now? Do I have to install something for Neoscrypt? Maybe someone can tell something about that.

@jello624 said in Newbie Quick Start Mining Guide:

Simple answer: NO
More exhaustive answer:
Feathercoin is using the neoscrypt algorithm, which is ASIC resistant, what means Feathercoin can be mined with CPU or GPU(s) only. -
To add to that… it’s purposely by design.
It’s supposed to be asic resistant.Mining for the masses rather than huge centralised farms in dodgy territories

I get the error als devices disabled, cannot mine, I have asus croshair formula iv, and ATI RAdeon hd5450 gc

Hello
I am replying firstly so that (hopefully) I will be able to reply on other topics, but secondly I am also curious if there exist a topic or a web page with approximate hash rates for different GPU cards for feathercoin. I would like to get into mining but am not sure if I should go for a more expensive cards like 1060/70 or would 1050 be almost as good but for half the price?
If I missed some rule or picked completely wrong section please excuse me and move/delete this post. -
Hi, I think that tpruvot miner doesn’t work anymore or something? I got this one to work tho.
