Account id is the number we get from vol wallet
Target_deadline is the number we get from pool
Plot_dirs are the paths to your plot files at your plotted hdds
Finaly url is the web address of the pool and port.The format of this file is very important you can use notepad++to edit this file.
At this point your miner is configured,and to star mining there is just 1 more step and that is staking to a pool
