Dec 19, 2012 at 23:53	comment	added	SparrowG		Fine, I'll install a good miner. Any suggestions?
Dec 19, 2012 at 23:51	comment	added	SparrowG		I did the rpc call, note the generate attribute is true. So, I expected bitcoind to mine.
Dec 19, 2012 at 11:29	comment	added	Pieter Wuille		@DavidPerry Yes, I suppose that will happen soon.
Dec 19, 2012 at 5:50	comment	added	David Perry		Isn't it in the plans to fully deprecate both `-gen` and its related statistics fields?
Dec 19, 2012 at 4:32	comment	added	Pieter Wuille		Start with -gen, or run the RPC command: ./bitcoind setgenerate true. But really, even if you want to do CPU mining, use an external miner program. It'll be a lot faster. Especially as the built-in miner cannot use pools, the result of running it will be a 99.97% chance for having nothing after a month, and a 0.03% chance for 25 BTC.
Dec 19, 2012 at 2:44	comment	added	SparrowG		I'm doing this for fun rather than profit. How can I get the reference miner to do some work? Need not be significant.
Dec 19, 2012 at 0:12	comment	added	Pieter Wuille		Indeed - it doesn't do that by default, and there is no reason to turn that on either. The internal miner is just there as reference, but is 1) not optimized 2) you shouldn't mine on CPUs anyway.
Dec 18, 2012 at 23:49	comment	added	SparrowG		Does that mean my bitcoind instance is not trying to mine?
