mining for quark

Question

I installed quarkcoin-qt and wanted to see if I can get it to mine any quarks.

I opened the necessary port and it synchronized.

I opened its console window and connected to the network using

addnode 54.193.30.6 onetry
addnode 54.224.185.35 onetry
addnode 54.200.66.187 onetry
addnode 54.201.33.23; onetry
addnode 86.183.230.58; onetry
addnode 119.252.247.163 onetry
addnode 218.30.67.157 onetry

and then used setgenerate true -1 to (supposedly) put it into mining mode...

calling getmininginfo it returns

{
"blocks" : 420230,
"currentblocksize" : 2978,
"currentblocktx" : 3,
"difficulty" : 2856.00406965,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"hashespersec" : 74772,
"pooledtx" : 3,
"testnet" : false
}

Where can I read about the meaning of all this information?

Is there anything else I need to do? or should I just wait now? And If I only have to wait then how long until I am supposed to see anything?

Answer 1

At this point, all you need to do is wait. As for the getmininginfo...

• blocks = number of blocks mined
• currentblocksize = size of blocks in bytes
• currentblocktx = number of transactions included in the block
• difficulty = how hard it is to mine
• errors = any error messages (you have none which is good)
• generate = if you are mining or not (true = you are mining)
• hashespersec = how fast you are mining
• pooledtx = number of transactions in the memory pool
• testnet = if you are running on testnet or not (false = you are mining real coins, not test coins)

Also refer to guide on official forum.

It will be more profit if you will mine in pool and using optimized miners.
