Startum - How To?

[ipaint]

Can someone write a "How To" for setting up Startum? I would but I don't know how you set it up, because I don't use it.

What do you mean on how to set it up?

Basically mining software either uses the getwork or stratum protocol.  I believe cgminer and cpuminer support both protocols.  Many pools do as well.

For instance to use stratum, the url would something like stratup+tcp://miningpool.com:2233

This is my cgminer .bat file for cryptomine using the stratum mining protocol:

Code: [Select]

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://gld.cryptocoinmine.com:2020 -u username.1 -p password -I 20

I was doing some reading and downloaded startum_proxy.exe and .py files. I take it I need to download python to run them.

If you have a cgminer compatible GPU, you only need to download cgminer and run the executable via a batch file with some parameters like the ones I provided.
