Windows CPU Miner

Mining Windows, with the same working flow and cleaner premium presentation.

Keep the exact sequence that already works: clean the folders, create the mining account, place the correct files, initialize the chain, add chaindata and only then start the miner.

Download official geth ZIP Download chaindata Open pool

Before you start

Use CMD as Administrator for the cleanup, init and first launch steps.

Save password.txt before creating the account. This mining account is not MetaMask.

If the binary is not named geth-inri-windows, stop and correct the files first.

Do not run init again after the first correct initialization, or you will wipe the sync data.

Step 0

Clean everything

This resets the route and recreates the clean folder structure from zero. Run these commands in Windows CMD as Administrator.

Folder preparation

Copy & paste

REM Delete old INRI folders completely
rd /s /q C:\INRI

REM Recreate folders for blockchain data
mkdir C:\INRI
mkdir C:\INRI\data

Step 1

Create a mining account

Choose a simple password such as inri123, save it as C:\\INRI\\password.txt, and then create the local mining account. This account is for the miner route and is not MetaMask.

Password file note

Copy & paste

Open Notepad and save the password text file before creating the account.

Save this first:
C:\INRI\password.txt

Create the mining account

Copy & paste

C:\INRI\geth-inri-windows account new --datadir C:\INRI\data --password C:\INRI\password.txt

Step 2

Place the correct files

Inside C:\\INRI you need the correct binary and the correct genesis file. If the binary is not named geth-inri-windows, stop and fix it before continuing.

Save as C:\\INRI\\genesis.json

Copy & paste

}

Initialize the local blockchain

Copy & paste

Run this command once. Never run init again after the first correct initialization or you will erase the synchronized blockchain.

C:\INRI\geth-inri-windows --datadir C:\INRI\data init C:\INRI\genesis.json

Step 3

Create the miner batch file

Save the batch below as C:\\INRI\\miner_real.bat. Change only COINBASE and THREADS before running it.

C:\\INRI\\miner_real.bat

Copy & paste

@echo off
chcp 65001 >nul

Step 4

Add chaindata

Before the first launch, download the chaindata package, extract the RAR file and copy the chaindata folder into your INRI data route. Then start the miner batch.

Chaindata route

Fast Sync (Recommended). Download the current chaindata package, extract the RAR, then copy the folder chaindata into C:\\INRI\\data before the first run.

Step 5

Start mining

Right-click the batch and run it as Administrator. Then verify that you are really mining on the original network and keep the final C:\\INRI folder structure intact.

Start checklist

Right-click the batch file and run as Administrator.
Check the wallet address saved in wallet.txt and the COINBASE value in the batch.
Watch peers, sync progress and mining output before leaving the machine unattended.

Final C:\\INRI structure

Copy & paste

C:\INRI\
├─ data\
├─ genesis.json
├─ geth-inri-windows.exe
├─ miner_real.bat
├─ password.txt
└─ wallet.txt

Pool

Use the pool page after setup to monitor miners, payments and blocks.

Wallets

Prepare or review the payout wallet before mining.
