CPU Mining Mode
Initial Setup for CPU Mining
The EMC Client interface defaults to CPU mode, as shown in the following image.
EMC Client will automatically detect the local CPU core hardware resources, complete initialization, and node connection status. The image above indicates successful initialization and node connection.
Note:Ensure sufficient gas fee before CPU mining(Visit The Gas Fee Collection Section);Otherwise, an error message "Insufficient Gas fee" will appear.
EMC Client CPU Mining
After claiming the gas fees, return to the EMC client to start CPU mining.
EMC clients usually perform CPU mining automatically. The client must stay running to manage the calculation and distribution of mining rewards.
