Title: Can someone give me an idiot proof guide to mining Feathercoin?, solo please. Post by: aries1470 on April 30, 2013, 02:14:58 PM Hi, I know the title is familiar, sorry OP, I snitched it from another forum, but I would like a simple guide that would say, install this, use that.
I am interested in doing solo for now. I have two computers, one old, heck, both are old. pc1: Q8400 P5Q m/b win XP 32 bit 9600GT 2GB 4GB Ram Plenty of storage pc2: AMD 5450 - 1GB Atom 330 4GB Ram Thank you.

I just do not want this thread to get burried to far down before someone that would know how to help misses it ::) Thank you. Title: Re: Can someone give me an idiot proof guide to mining Feathercoin?, solo please. Post by: TheSpiral on May 01, 2013, 09:15:17 AM Easiest way would be the following:
Download CGMiner (or Reaper, I haven't had luck with it, though): http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ Sign up for a Feathercoin pool and make a "worker" in your account there, there's many pools to choose from... Quick List:
Quote cgminer --scrypt -o PoolAddress -u workerName -p workerPassword Then just run the .bat file, it should work. You can fine tune it if you'd like.Example, I'm on the fhc. ub3rl33t .com/ pool, so I'd use this command: cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://fhc.ub3rl3[Suspicious link removed]m:3334 -u TheSpiral.1 -p x The URL should be on the pool page itself.

Feathercoin has been around only for a few weeks and looks like a copycat scam run by a few shady spivs with lots of sock accounts here. So I suppose an idiot proof approach is to not mine the junk at all. Still, considering the the amount of naive idealists/monged out junkies/bonehead schoolkids on here there's bound to be a few takers of it.

I really appreciate the feedback. Btw, bonker, I really like your avatar pic ::) it made me laugh and fixed my mood for the night, it is 21.25H here. @Spiral. Thank you very much for the details. I guess I will try this new CHN coin then, I guess it won't harm me then, since so many seem to have taken it up. Just looking for something new, just so I can see something with the obsolete rigs I have, if I am doing it right and getting returns on solo before I go and get anything else new. |
