You didn’t follow the instructions in the first append of this thread. Specifically Steps B3 B4 and B5.

yes i did. like i said, i can get the node and miner running just fine after initial install but when i close them with the ‘Q’ command, the grin node throws those ‘false’ errors.

By “throws those ‘false’ errors” do you mean:
> [@hodl](#):
>
> the Mining server enabled and Mining server running both state “false”.
Those are not errors. It means that the copy of grin-server.toml being used has not been edited so that:
`enable_stratum_server = true`
Are you in the directory ~/grin when you run the grin command?
`cd ~/grin; grin`

Today was an interesting case. grin-miner (1.0.2, binary) was working almost OK until today, then after the next restart (my 4x280Ti rig is still in debugging state) it refused to start with message:
> error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file
ldd showed that this file is absent. OK, but how does grin-miner worked without it? 😕
I installed [libncursesw5](https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libncursesw5) package and everything became well again. 🕶

I see that grin-miner is CPU-intensive. But does it use all available CPU threads? It seems that no:

- Add command grin to environment variables for current user permanently
```auto
cd
vi .profile
```
Add the following line to the last line of .profile and save
```auto
export PATH="$HOME/grin/target/release:$PATH"
```
Then i’ lost the vi or vim editor is totally a piece of crap to use i can not add the line to it so i need detailed insturction on what keybord keys to push to be able to edit the profile file .(whomever wrote vi is a moron and hasn’t herd of keep it simple ,simple)
i have tried to read up on vi or vim as it’s also called but i’m not shore why the help page i’m reading does not seem to work the way it says and (whats with rewriting keyboard commands in a freaking text editor, why not use the 12 function keys or the 18 number keys as i said a moron wrote it)

When I start my listener it say: Starting HTTP Foreign listener API server at 127.0.0.1:3415
When I start the grin miner it say: Can’t establish server connection to 127.0.0.1:3416
Should I change the config file so the api listener work on port 3416 ?
It seems that the config is initially wrong.

Thanks for this awesome guide!
I got all the way to “enable\_stratum\_server = true” and I’m getting the error: enable\_stratum\_server: command not found
Please let me know if you have any idea what I might be doing wrong!

Hi! After several hours, I think I’m working on this end. I would like to test whether my wallet will receive, can someone help me with that?

That’s not a command. It is a line you need to change in the grin-server.toml file:
In the file `~/.grin/main/grin-server.toml` , change:
enable\_stratum\_server = false
To:
enable\_stratum\_server = true

IS it normal to mine this much and have a balance of 0?

Hello,
I am new in mining and I rented a RIG of 8 gpu nvidia in 1070, after having followed the tutorial, I find myself with this error:
luginNotFoundError("/home/nv08/grin-miner/target/debug/plugins/cuckaroo\_cuda\_29.cuckooplugin - Custom { kind: Other, error: StringError("/home/nv08/grin-miner/target/debug/plugins/cuckaroo\_cuda\_29.cuckooplugin: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory") }")
my file grin-miner.toml is :
#[[mining.miner\_plugin\_config]]
#plugin\_name = “cuckaroo\_cpu\_compat\_29”
#[mining.miner\_plugin\_config.parameters]
#nthreads = 4
and :
# currently requires 5.5GB+ GPU memory
[[mining.miner\_plugin\_config]]
plugin\_name = “cuckaroo\_cuda\_29”

Getting the error below after trying to run `grin wallet init`
```
error: Found argument 'init' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context
```
USAGE:
As of v1.1.0, the wallet has been split into a separate executable. See [https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-wallet/releases](https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-wallet/releases) to download

What could I have done wrong or what do I need to update?
