before you can start mining you first needs to create a mining account. This can be done with Gulden-cli createminingaccount "Mining"

after that you can enable mining on your GuldenD.

Easiest way to do this is to add gen=1 to your config and restart GuldenD. Then it will always start mining when GuldenD starts.

you can also use the Gulden-cli setgenerate command to enable/disable mining. 

setgenerate generate ( gen_proc_limit )

Set 'generate' true or false to turn generation on or off.
Generation is limited to 'gen_proc_limit' processors, -1 is unlimited.
Arena setup is limited to 'gen_arena_proc_limit' processors, -1 is unlimited, takes the value of 'gen_proc_limit' if not explicitely set.
See the getgenerate call for the current setting.

Arguments:
1. generate             (boolean, required) Set to true to turn on generation, off to turn off.
2. gen_proc_limit       (numeric, optional) Set the processor limit for when generation is on. Can be -1 for unlimited.
3. gen_arena_proc_limit (numeric, optional) Set the processor limit for when generation is on. Can be -1 for unlimited.
4. gen_memory_limit     (string, optional) How much system memory to use, specify a letter G/M/K/B to determine size e.g. 524288K (Kilobytes), 512M (Megabytes), 3G (Gigabytes).
5. account              (string, optional) The UUID or unique label of the account.

Examples:

Set the generation on with a limit of one processor
> Gulden-cli setgenerate true 1

Check the setting
> Gulden-cli getgenerate 

Turn off generation
> Gulden-cli setgenerate false

with Gulden-cli gethashps you can see the current hashrate.

Simply set up a GuldenD instance like normal and then use the following cli commmands.

  1. createminingaccount "my_account_name" (only need to run this once)
  2. setgenerate true num_threads num_arena_threads (when you want to turn mining on)
  3. setgenerate false (when you want to turn mining off
  4. gethashps to view mining speeds
  5. getnetworkhashps to view estimates of network mining speeds
  6. getmininginfo for other mining info (and to check that you are using AES optimised algorithm that matches your CPU etc.)
