FAQ About Getting Started with Cortex Solo Mining
What is Cortex (CTXC)?
Cortex (CTXC) is a decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) platform built on blockchain technology. It combines AI with blockchain to provide AI models that can be executed in a decentralized manner, making it a unique and versatile platform for developers and researchers.
Why choose solo mining over pool mining?
Solo mining allows you to keep the entire block reward for yourself, providing a higher potential earnings compared to pool mining. It also gives you independence and control over your mining operations, with lower fees and a direct contribution to the network's security and decentralization.
How do I set up a Cortex wallet?
To set up a Cortex wallet, download the official wallet from the Cortex website. Install and open the wallet application, create a new wallet with a strong password, and back up your seed phrase or private key. Finally, obtain your wallet address to store your mined CTXC.
Which mining software should I use for Cortex solo mining?
The recommended mining software for Cortex solo mining depends on your GPU. For Nvidia GPUs, GMiner is a popular choice, while AMD GPU users can opt for lolMiner. Both options provide stability, efficiency, and detailed configuration settings to optimize your mining experience.
How do I configure my mining software to connect to the 2Miners Solo Pool?
To connect your mining software to the 2Miners Solo Pool, edit your configuration file with the correct pool URL and port. For GMiner, use the following settings: miner.exe --algo cortex --server solo-ctxc.2miners.com --port 6666 --user YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS.RIG_ID pause
. For lolMiner, use: lolMiner.exe --coin CTXC --pool solo-ctxc.2miners.com:6666 --user YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS.RIG_ID pause
. Replace "YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS" with your actual Cortex wallet address.
