I’ve started ./src/zcashd and it’s downloading blocks right now. Once it starts mining, where to the proceeds go / what wallet do they end up in and how is this setup?

If you are installing and syncing Zcash4win, that is the wallet, not a miner

Just let me know and I’ll edit this first post and add it. I personally don’t like to feel like I’m snapping at someone because they asked the same question someone else asked an hour ago or the day before, so I’m hoping this will take the strain off some of the regulars who try to help out as much as they can slight_smile Last Updated: Feb 2nd, 2018 …
