Instructions for minings? 

[zsnorbi]

Instructions for minings?  

In Debug window/console type setgenerate true -1

[Sir_Astral]

Instructions for minings? 

in console setgenerate true -1
or cpu miner with -a argon2

[skish85]

Instructions for minings? 

+ getmininginfo 
and setgenerate false to disable miner in wallet

[ig0tik3d]

Instructions for minings? 

add to argon2.conf

Code:

server=1
rpcuser=123
rpcpassword=12345
rpcport=1234

run argon2-qt.exe, after that dowload cpu-miner

Code:

cpuminer -a argon2 -o 127.0.0.1:1234 -u 123 -p 12345 -t number of threads

and wait for profit))

[Sir_Astral]

Any pool?

You can use any open port. 9378 for example, just add it to conf.
