Prerequisite for Windows

Mining
1

I am a person who really wants to mine creditcoins. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to mine for over a month because the settings aren’t perfect.

I have little knowledge of programming, but I have successfully mined Ethereum and Chia coins. Looking at it now, these were easy.

While trying various things, I found the following content on Gluwa Github yesterday. Do I have to do this? I don’t even know how to install it. I would be really grateful if someone kindly provided a detailed explanation.

Prerequisite for Windows

Boost 1.67.0 source

Place the source of boost 1.67.0 to C:\local\boost_1_67_0 .
