Is there no GUI?

[Greedi]

to many issues, don't know where to start..

1), much of all the files says Bitcoin instead of PPcoin
2), i just installed the client, the only thing i got was an uninstall file
3), very confusing site
4), and so on

don't take this the wrong way

[Greedi]

building on my *nix server now, i'll see how that will go

OP released a link to the source in the other thread at the promised time (5 min before 18:00 UTC)  There was no premine.  By the time I had built from source and got things running, there were 5 blocks mined.

Did you add
rpcuser=<user>
rpcpassword=<password>
to ppcoin.conf ?

//DeaDTerra

you need to make ppcoin.conf

in ./ppcoin folder

you need to make ppcoin.conf

in ./ppcoin folder

I have made on in the roaming/PPcoin it's called ppcoin.conf
and it contains
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=
but it doesn't work

I gave it a password, still didn't work. Must the pass have certain characteristics.

Any miner should work.  I'm using cgminer.

//DeaDTerra

Hmmm, no idea.  There are no special password requirements, a single character should work even.

What miners is this supporting ?

scrypt

[Greedi]

@Sunny King how can the diff be that high?

[dust]

What miners is this supporting ?

scrypt

@Sunny King how can the diff be that high?

It is that "high" because it is not scrypt based. Standard SHA256.

scrypt

@Sunny King how can the diff be that high?

It is that "high" because it is not scrypt based. Standard SHA256.

then i'll need to ask, how can i mine with scrypt ??

You can't, because it's based off SHA256.
