Setting up the Origin Client

First of all, in order to use the Origin wallet and mining client, you need to download Java from https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and install Windows Offline (64-bit). ONLY 64-bit will work.

If you would like to mine origin without using a command line, just download the Origin.exe client from https://bitbucket.org/backspace119/ki-project-origin/downloads/

Once Origin.exe is downloaded, create a new folder named Origin on your desktop, and place Origin.exe inside. Double click Origin.exe and it will begin its initial setup.

If you would like to use the command line, please continue reading.

  1. Download the latest Origin-#.##.#-BETA-shaded.jar from https://bitbucket.org/backspace119/ki-project-origin/downloads/.

  2. Once the Origin-#.##.#-BETA-shaded.jar file is downloaded, create a new folder named Origin on your desktop (if you do not have one already), and place .jar file inside.

  3. Rename the file from "Origin-#.##.#-BETA-shaded.jar" to "Origin.jar". (If you do not see the .jar file extension in your Windows Explorer, do not worry. Just rename this file as "Origin")

  4. Now, you will need to create a .bat file. To do this, right click inside the Origin folder where the .jar file is located.

  5. After right clicking, select "New" in the drop-down menu and then select "Text Document". Rename this document as Origin.bat and change the file type from ".txt" to "All files".

  6. Once you have Origin.bat in your folder, right click the file and select "Edit".

  7. Copy and paste this into your Origin.bat file: java -jar .\Origin.jar pause

  8. Save the file, and you can now double click Origin.bat to run the client. Once the client is launched, it will begin the initial setup. Please don't worry if it seems like your client or computer freezes as the GPU will benchmark itself for optimal mining values, and new folders are being created.

  9. Upon opening the Origin wallet/mining client, you will be prompted to enter a password. Please enter a password, and DO NOT FORGET IT. You will NOT be able to recover your keys if you forget your password or type it incorrectly.
