START MINING THE COOLEST COIN NOW WITH YOUR CPU!

Ok, this might sound as a joke. But well, you can select to mine for any (or all) of the next reasons:

  • For the lols
  • For the experience
  • To support (a little ) the coin
  • To hold

The other day I managed to mine 2 HTH with my 4 year old laptop. We can laugh at it or we can think of the people who mined 1 or 2 BTC when the difficulty was 100 or so instead of 7,454,968,648,263...

However, as an experiment this was quite fun to get working. So if you want to give it a try, follow the next steps, to mine HTH too.

Download a CPU miner

Find a pool

  • I find the most convenient pool with trial and error. Let's try gpuhot.com first.
    alt
    As you can see, they have listed $HTH and they have a good amount of miners and Hashrate, so it won't be so difficult to find a block together.
  • The base line to mine with them is:
    -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://gpuhot.com:36361 -u <wallet>-p c=HTH
  • For me http://gpuhot.com worked as well as https://bsod.pw
  • There are more pools, you can find them all in the HTH discord server: http://discord.gg/xqJxYKK

Get your file right

  • Open the good old notepad in your computer.
    alt
  • Drag the file RUN-RVN.cmd to notepad.
    alt
  • Delete whatever is there and change for something like this:
cpuminer-x64 -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://gpuhot.com:36361 -u  -p c=HTH --threads 2

This is an example with my file:

cpuminer-x64 -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://gpuhot.com:36361 -u H7zeQUKuf18rtpvWH6uCELm5PBmnpz8N4B -p c=HTH --threads 2
  • --threads 2 means the number of workers, in my case my cpu has a processor of 4 cores, but if I use them all it goes crazy, overheats and dies. So 2 or 3 is better. You can try modifyng this, start with 1 and see how it goes, then increase.

If you don't have a wallet address yet, you should:

  • Download the official HTH wallet from their website: https://hthcoin.world/downloads.php
  • Mine directly to a shared Masternode service like mintnodes.
  • You can try to mine directly to a deposit address in crypto-bridge. But honestly, I haven't tried it. (If you have tried it please let me know if it works or doesn't).
  • Point it to a charity

Help The Homeless Worldwide https://helpthehomelessworldwide.org/
HTH Address HF5rjaXU7s3QCKuSb6uYJvAeVa3qWC3MKm

Landforthehomeless.org http://www.landforthehomeless.org/
HTH Address HFWpQU9VbEFMvEnNgdXjH6xC5zdUvKEadr

Grassroots Crisis Intervention http://www.grassrootscrisis.org/
HTH Address HUrsYtBYQqCPCqezHN5k51vKWXpFiNpwrz

The Salvation Army of Athens, Greece http://www.salvationarmy.gr/
HTH Address HQvnLwk1wvzY8jPjVtDdx8JVBnD3i6G5zk

If you downloaded the wallet from their website

  • Go to Receive
    alt
  • Type any label you want and click in Request payment
    alt
  • Click in Copy address
    alt
  • Paste that address in the right place in the RUN-RVN.cmd file.
  • SAVE the file

START MINING

  • Open the RUN-RVN.cmd file by double click on it.
  • You should get something like this:
    alt

In my case when I mine with bsod the stratum difficulty starts decreasing:

Until I start getting these yes!!

Check your balance

You can check your balance in the mining pool by checking your wallet there. Just go to Wallet in their menu and your wallet in the input box, you will get something like this:

Are we rich yet?
