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
- Direct download link, it comes from https://rvn.suprnova.cc/.
You will get a .7z file which you can open with winrar or 7zip. - Extract the files to a folder in your desktop or anywhere you like.
Find a pool
- I find the most convenient pool with trial and error. Let's try gpuhot.com first.
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.
- Drag the file
RUN-RVN.cmd
to notepad.
- 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

If you downloaded the wallet from their website
- Go to Receive
- Type any label you want and click in Request payment
- Click in Copy address
- 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:
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?
