hi, im too busy making casino, so need some help, does somone want to make a REDCOIN mining guide for newbies?

Nothing technical, nothing flash, Just Simple step, by step instructions, with Video or Screen shots, for mining both solo and pool. using cgminer and guiminer, and put on an html file, and supplied to me in a zipfile, So that I can upload to the website. 1 page is sufficient, any videos can be put on youtube and imbesdded in the page.

Must include everything from the enabling of hidden files to the pool signup process, and a brief explination of what a pool is and the differences of that and solo

Keeping in mind that many of the viewers will not even know what bitcoins or cryptos are

bro, that info is fine for somonme whos been mining before, but if i paste that on the website, how to mine for newbies, that will make them more confused ::)

oh come now... just because you didn't copy/paste it yourself!  :D

Every new coin needs a lot of newbies. More miner, More Hope.

Is this offer still open RED?

Well i did start on one, but its back to the bottom of my todo list, so Yes offer still open

I'm working on it, but request somewhat higher bounty (I'm thinking of 5 LTC or alike). Of course anyone with lower bounty is welcome to submit before me...

i think Oldminer is making one allready

I'll pay you 5LTC if you come up with one that RED approves of?

Ok, that's fine. How much more details do you require in comparison with innovation's post?


Edit - my address (LTC); just in case:

Redcoin mining guide for noobs

I'll concentrate on Windows, as all noobs use Windows.  ;)

1. Download the client from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=246693.0 , unzip it (I recommend 7zip), then run it for the first time.

2. Go to "My Computer", Tools/Organize => Folder options => View, switch on "Display the contents of system folders" and "Show hidden files". Then switch off "Hide extensions for known filetypes". You can aslo find this menu by doing what's written here: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows7/change-folder-options

3. Go to C:/Users/YourUsername/AppData/Roaming/Redcoin, make a new text file, rename it to redcoin.conf, paste this sample config and save the file, feel free to modify the settings to your likings, just don't call me if it doesn't work:

4. Restart your Redcoin client to make use of the new config

5. Get GUIminer-Scrypt from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150331.0 , unzip it to a location of your choice. Be sure to use an external unzipper as the Windows built-in unzipper has problems with the file (at least in my experience), then run it.

6. If you want to mine solo, add the following values into their respective fields in GUIminer, also note that your redcoin client must be running while mining solo:
Host: localhost
Port: 11632 (or whichever port you specified as rpcport in the redcoin.conf)
Username, Password: The rpcuser and rpcpassword you specified in the redcoin.conf
Device: Choose which device you want to mine on
GPU Defaults: Choose your GPU, the default values are rather optimal
Extra flags: none if the time between blocks is close to the intended time, -s 1 -E 2 -Q 0 if blocks get solved very fast.
Use stratum: No

If you want to mine on a pool, change the following settings from their counterpart above, you can close the redcoin client if you want to:
Host: The pool address, without http://
Port: The port the pool runs on, normally shown on the how to page of the pool or in the address bar if it's a p2pool.
Use stratum: Depends on the pool, some use it, some don't, check the how-to page. P2Pools always have stratum enabled.
Username, Password: On P2pools use your wallet address as username and x (or anything else) as password. On normal pools use the worker name and password, which you can specify on the worker page of the pool.

7. Hit start!

8. I recommend you install MSI Afterburner or a similar tool to check the temps of your GPU. If it runs too hot (above 80°C is too hot), set the fan to a fixed speed (85% max, above will ruin your fan) or you can try to undervolt your card (must switch on voltage control in settings first). You can also downclock it, but this will make the card run slower.

9. Keep watching your redcoins fly into your wallet.  ;D

If this "guide" is up to your standards, send the amount of coins you deem adequate to:
