Dump her!

No, do not use your PC's username and password! You may set the rpcuser and rpcpassword parameters to anything, and these parameters are only needed if you're going to mine solo, so you can connect to your local server.

If you're going to solo mine LTC, for example, you might set up your litecoin.conf file like this:

rpcuser=phil92
rpcpassword=ltc
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=9332
daemon=1

Then you should start the litecoind.exe program or, from a command line, go to the Litecoin program folder and run litecoin-qt.exe -server (or create a shortcut to the litecoin-qt.exe program and add the -server parameter in the shortcut's target field). Next, you should point your miner program to your local server. The server's address would be 127.0.0.1 (or the address of your machine if you have a local network set up), the server's port for mining would be 9332, your worker's username would be phil92 and your worker's password would be ltc.

Instead of running the Qt program with the -server parameter to mine solo with it, you may include the following line in the config file:

server=1

I don't like that approach because your coin's Qt program would be starting as a server every time you ran it.

Now if you're going to mine on a pool, the pool's address, pool's port, pool worker's username and pool worker's password will all need to be set in the program you use to mine - the values from the coin's config file will be ignored.

You may use this guide for any coin. Note that each coin uses a different port to connect to that coin's network. You usually don't need to specify that in the coin's config file - the coin's Qt or daemon program will know that value by default. Litecoin's default P2P port, for example, is port 9333. If you do need to specify a P2P port value, then you'd use the port parameter (ex. port=9333 for Litecoin). When solo mining, people usually set the rpcport parameter to a value immediately above or below the coin's default P2P port value.



This is very important. Choose a long and hard to guess password so your wallet isn't exposed to malicious external accesses. You may also restrict the IP's that can connect to your local server with the rpcallowip parameter. To only allow connections from your own machine you should use:

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 (or your machine's address if you have a LAN set up)

And don't forget to encrypt your wallet!

You can't trade IFC directly for BTC or QRK on Cryptsy. You'll need to trade your IFC for LTC or XPM there, then LTC or XPM for BTC, and then BTC for QRK.

I seem to be on the same boat as you. Please post again when/if you get paid by Middlecoin.

People, do not trust any emails with strange attachments no matter how "legit" the sender's address looks. Also, do not trust anti-viruses and anti-malware programs - they won't detect 99.99% of the zero-day viruses, malwares and exploits that will really cause damage until that damage is already done. Your best protection is and will always be your COMMON SENSE.

Thank you for posting about this. It's great to see people exposing these cryptocoin related scams.

Yes, unfortunately some "brilliant" mind came up with this pointless policy that forces you to stay on the "Newbies" forums for some time (even if you're not a real newbie), which only leads to a huge amount of needless, useless posts on this forum.

I'd rather concentrate on the alt coins I believe have the most potential to succeed (unless you're gonna dump them as you mine). My current favorites are: DGC, ANC and SBC.

I don't think you're gonna get many "customers" with just one post...

The only 100% safe way to trade Bitcoins with PayPal without risking having your account frozen and your funds held is the one I describe on my guide at BitcoinPayPal.info, which I use myself.
