Here a simple and quick guide for mining/wallet setup for SHIFT:
First you will need the following to download:
Wallet daemon/CLI wallet and GUI wallet:
https://github.com/shiftcurrency/shift-executablesEtherminer:
http://cryptomining-blog.com/5612-updated-ethminer-0-9-41-opencl-and-cuda-for-windows/Next you will need to create bat files to simplify start ups of the wallet and miner:
Create a new txt file. After that, then change the extension to "
.bat", instead of "
.txt". Then right click and edit it to type in the script to execute the file, then save.
Once these bat files are created, you just need to double click on them to execute them. No longer need to use CMD to run them.
If you don't feel like creating the bat files, here's a link:

If you don't feel like creating the bat files, here's a link:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4GYLGZ1qlo_X3JPQXdaQ2x3ajQ&usp=sharing1b) Enter the following script in the bat file by right clicking on the bat file and editing it: shift-windows-amd64 --rpc --rpcaddr "localhost" --rpcport 53901 console
1c) Execute the bat file by double clicking it. Don't create an account yet, it will be created later in the GUI wallet.
STEP 2:2a) Double click on the ShiftWallet.exe (Note I put the file in the same directory as the wallet daemon/CLI wallet)
2b)Click on the "New Account" tab.
2c)Enter you password.
2d)Let the wallet sync for a bit before you go to the next step to mine. Let the GUI wallet have full bars to make sure it's synced.
STEP 3:3a) Create a bat file by making a txt file and renaming the extension to bat. (Note: make sure you have windows unhide the extension, otherwise this won't work)
If you don't feel like creating the bat files, here's a link:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4GYLGZ1qlo_X3JPQXdaQ2x3ajQ&usp=sharing3b) Enter the following script in the bat file by right clicking on the bat file and editing it:
For a local wallet: etherminer -F
http://127.0.0.1:53901 -G
For a wallet on the network when running multiple gpu mining rigs: -F http://(IP Address of Wallet, ie 192.168.1.1):53901 -G
3c) Now double click on the bat file and you should start mining. Be patient solo mining will always take a while before a block is found or you can join a pool instead.

Final Note: Make sure that at least the bat files for the wallet and the miner are running to mine properly. Also, that you make sure that the wallet is synced before mining. There is also a glitch with unlocking with the GUI wallet, for now until the issue is resolved, use the CLI command to unlock the account.
Here is also command you can run in the CLI wallet:
List your local accounts:
personal.listAccounts
Show balance of an account: (this is not fully rebranded for shift yet)
eth.getBalance("Shiftbase/Account Address, ie. 0x1234...")
Unlock account:
personal.unlockAccount("Shiftbase/Account Address, ie. 0x1234...")
Create a new account:
personal.newAccount("Password")
Get information about blockchain sync:
admin.chainSyncStatus
Show connected peers:
admin.peers
Show mining hashrate:
miner.hashrate
