Will Bitcoin-qt mine bitcoins if all I have done is downloaded and installed Bitcoin-qt, and typed in "setgenerate true" into the console? Are there other steps or configurations necessary? If so, what are they?

    There are no other steps or configurations necessary. You can type getmininginfo to verify the mining process is running. However, it is extremely unlikely that you will find a block using this method, because CPU mining for Bitcoin is far too slow for the current difficulty.

  • @NateEldredge Would it be correct to assume that it is a duplicate then?

  • Hey Murch, No. He happened to answer this question in his answer to a question about JSON. That's because the questions were related, not because they were the same.
