Title: How to mine Freicoin and Novacoin?
Post by: El3k0n on March 02, 2013, 06:48:54 PM
Hi everyone, I write here to know how I can mine some FRC and NVC. Do you know some good pools? And what tools do I need?

The easiest way to get started mining Freicoin on Windows is to make sure you have the latest graphic drivers for your card, then launch the GUI miner program:

https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=3878.0

Create a new OpenCL miner from the menu (try the other choices if OpenCL gives you trouble), and configure it with the following options:

Server: Other
Host: pool.freico.in
Port: 9638
Username: (your freicoin address, from the client, or generate a public address and private key at bitaddress.org - make sure to print this out)
Password: 123 (can be anything, but must not be empty; not used)

Ignore the extra flags for now (efficiency settings - you can research that later). Hit 'start mining' (you may have to resize the dialog box to see the button).

NVC instructions are in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=146861.0

Thank you for your interest.
