Mining with nheqminer - windows

Hello,

I downloaded the windows zip from here: github nicehash/nheqminer/releases

and locally my folder looks like:

USER@CookieMunster MINGW64 /c/Users/USER/mining/Windows_x64_nheqminer-5c/Windows_x64_nheqminer-5c
$ ls -l
total 7345

-rw-r--r-- 1 USER 197121      70 Dec 30 12:25 start.bat

Where start.bat contains:

nheqminer.exe -l us -u my_address -t 8

Yet, when I run this all I see is:

and this will repeat infinitely (Connecitng…no such host…reconnecting)

Any guidance would be appreicated!

are you attempting to CPU mine or GPU mine?

That software is for CPU mining and horrible for GPU mining.

This should help get you pointed in the right direction

I am hoping to CPU mine. This is just to test and understand how things work.
