Any Intel or AMD desktop with 16 GB of RAM or more. Mining runs quietly in the background alongside normal use โ no interference, no dedicated hardware, no special setup.
Binaries built from a pre-release version of the source. Linux binaries require glibc 2.38+ (Debian 13+, Ubuntu 23.10+).
Right-click inside the folder where you extracted memcoind.exe โ Open in Terminal (or PowerShell). Copy the block below as one piece, paste it in, and press Enter:
Only after the config file above exists, run:
This runs in the foreground and fills the window with logs โ leave it running, open a new terminal window for every step after this, and let initial sync finish (usually within 10 minutes) before continuing.
Open memcoin_interface.html in your browser, then save the page (Ctrl+S, keep the .html extension) and open the saved file โ it's a local wallet interface where you create or open a wallet and get an address.
If you changed rpcuser/rpcpassword in memcoin.conf from the defaults above, edit those same two values inside memcoin_interface.html to match โ otherwise the wallet page can't talk to your node. Copy your wallet address (starts with M).
Download and extract memcoin-miner-v1.0.0-win64.zip. Right-click inside the extracted miner folder โ Open in Terminal, then run:
Paste your wallet address in place of <your_address>. Each thread needs 8 GiB free RAM.
Linux binaries require glibc 2.38+ (Debian 13+, Ubuntu 23.10+) ยท other distributions: download source and compile.
Each mining thread needs its own dedicated 8 GiB of RAM. On a machine also running the node, budget RAM for both โ the node and the miner do not share their working sets.
Each mining thread needs its own 8 GiB โ aggregation provides no per-unit reduction. Small pools and solo miners have identical per-thread economics. Run alone, or join any small pool you trust.
