Before installing any mining software make sure you have downloaded and installed both

Step 1) Download the appropriate version of GLDcoin-qt wallet.

Linux x64 Binarieshttps://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-V2r5eb7IgtYlh2UWVyajRtUEE/edit?usp=sharing
Linux 32bit Binaries https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-V2r5eb7IgtVHp1T2VyYXFtWXM/edit?usp=sharing
Windows Binaries https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-V2r5eb7IgteHRCb09RUkpJQlU/edit?usp=sharing

Unzip to your desired location.

Step 2) Download cgminer:

Cgminer:
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer

One you have downloaded cgminer, unzip it.

Step 3) Setup GLDcoin.conf

On a windows machine, click the start button and type: %appdata% then click enter.
In the window that opens navigate to the GLDcoin folder and open it.
Once inside the GLDcoin folder, right-click and create a new text document.
Name the new document GLDcoin.conf
Open the newly created GLDcoin.conf in any text editor and copy the and paste the following:

rpcuser=ChooseAUsername
rpcpassword=ChooseAPassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8122
server=1
gen=0

Choose whatever username and password you would like to use for your miner.
You will need this information again to enter into your cgminer batch file in the next step.
Save GLDcoin.conf and exit your text editor.

Step 4) Create cgminer bat

Navigate to the folder where you unzipped cgminer.
Again right-click and create a new text file.
Inside the next text file copy and paste the text below:

cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:9112 -u ChoseAUserName -p ChooseAPassword

Change the -u to the username you chose in the previous step and the same with -p for the password.
Save this document as startmining.bat

Step 5) Launch GLDcoin-qt in server mode

Click the start button and type “cmd” and click enter.
In the command prompt that opens, navigate to the location you unzipped GLDcoin-qt and run GLDcoin-qt.exe with the -server flag.

For instance:
c:\users\yourusername\desktop\goldcoin\GLDcoin-qt.exe -server

In a few seconds your GLDcoin wallet should open. If this is the first time you have opened it, it may take a few minutes to download all of the block chain data. Once GLDcoin-qt is up-to-date, navigate to the mining tab.

Enter the following:
Server – 127.0.0.1
Port – 8122
Username – ChooseAUsername
Password – ChooseAPassword

Again be sure to use the same username and password from the previous steps.
Click the Start Mining Button.

Step 6) Open cgminer bat

Navigate to the cgminer folder where you created your startmining.bat
Double-click startmining.bat
It may take a minute or two for cgminer to start running.
If everything is setup right, you should now be mining GLDcoin!
