Windows Automatic Update Tutorial

1. Acquire sub-account

In order to earn qus, one must mine to a sub-account. Head over to https://www.apool.io to finish email registration.

Apool will allocate a sub-account automatically under your name. Check out your sub-account name in 'My miners' page.

2. Download the mining software

Download link：https://github.com/apool-io/apoolminer/releases

3. Modify the configuration file miner.conf and change the account to your own.

If you need to adjust other parameters, remove the # comment and modify the corresponding values according to the parameter description.

algo=qubic
account=my_sub_account
pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334

#worker=my_worker
#cpu-off=false
#thread=4
#gpu-off=false
#gpu=0,1,2
#mode=1

Configuration file example

Configuration files for mining with GPU and CPU (Recommended mining configuration for all resources)
```
algo=qubic
account=my_sub_account
pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334
```

Configuration files for mining with GPU only

algo=qubic
account=my_sub_account
pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334
cpu-off=true

Configuration files for mining with CPU only

algo=qubic
account=my_sub_account
pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334
gpu-off=true

Configuration files for mining with GPU and open hybrid mode

algo=qubic
account=my_sub_account
pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334
cpu-off=true
mode=1

Configuration files for mining with CPU and specify the number of CPU thread

algo=qubic
account=my_sub_account
pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334
gpu-off=true
thread=8

Configuration files for Qubic mining idle mode, switch to user-defined third-party mining
1. You need to download the third-party executable program yourself and put it in the same directory as the configuration file.
2. The third_cmd parameter must be a mining startup command and cannot be written as a startup script
3. If the third-party program also runs the apoolminer program, you need to copy apoolminer and rename it to another program name.
```
algo=qubic
account=my_sub_account
pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334
third_miner = lolMiner.exe
third_cmd = lolMiner.exe --algo PYRIN --pool de.pyrin.herominers.com:1177 --user pyrin:qq92h3nryfwq0gkh73cwvjh9hhqlq2mank9sfxtgc99hqwn2ec6u2gszphr0u
```
Need to copy a file named 'apoolminer' in the same folder and rename it to 'oreminer'

algo=qubic
account=my_sub_account
pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334
third_miner = oreminer.exe
third_cmd = oreminer.exe -A ore --solo 192.168.0.191:3080 --account AbcsaX71223k777777777777779j999999999999946d --gpu-off

Save the Configuration files after change

5.Run

Select the execution script according to your needs
- Autoupgrade Start command
If you want to run an automatic upgrade of apoolminer, you can execute the upgrade_and_run.sh script
