If you are a speculative miner, like myself, you cannot resist hitting a new coin.  You rush to find what wallet you already have supports that coin and quickly grab an address and you are off to the races running to get the that potential pot of gold.   I happen to do that myself a while back with Shiba Inu the internet darling a few months back and so-called Doge killer.  It just so happens today I was thought I would check on it.  Well after looking at six wallets on my phone and another eight on my computer I was left scratching my head as to where in the crypto word I could have possibly sent this Shib.  I finally discovered the proverbial doghouse was on a popular exchange.  I have never had this issue before because almost everything I mine to goes into a specific multi-coin wallet and the others I mine into their specific wallet; however, at the time my multi-coin had yet to add Shiba Inu and time waits for no code developer so I grabbed an address off an exchange.  The point is I was completely lost due to my incompetence at record keeping.  I do keep a spreadsheet of my coins and where I hold them, but in this case I forgot.  So I figured out a way to help this from never occurring and to satisfy the computer geek that dwells inside of me.  That way is a simple ECHO written inside my batch files I use to launch the miner software.

When you setup a new batch file for mining the first thing you do is find out the pool url address and port and then you go and get your wallet address.  That is the best time to make a simple remark in your batch file so you will never forget.  Batch files do not typical have a remark feature so we can use the ECHO command which simply adds a message to the command line interpret screen as it launches.  Here is an example of a batch file for NBMiner:

nbminer -a kawpow  -o stratum+tcp://minesomeraven.com:4444 -u 0x0000000000000000000000000000000.Rig01 

Two months later when you forgot to record where that wallet is you get to search the known universe looking for it or you can write the file like this:

echo Gate.io exchange

nbminer -a kawpow  -o stratum+tcp://minesomeraven.com:4444 -u 0x0000000000000000000000000000000.Rig01 

It is that simple.  This will not affect the launching of your miner in any way and serves as a quick unforgettable way to remember where you are actually sending your funds should you forget to open up your spreadsheet or need to do it at a later time.
