That worked and the coins are in the new v1.10 wallet. New wallet looks good.
Are there any active pools?
Currently probably not - developer working on it.
Until recently active was HTCpool.in
But difficulty is very low and
possible is mining solo (directly by wallet or minerd etc.)
1. Sync your PC clock according to ie.
http://time.is (very important step)
2. Run wallet.
3. If you want dig directly by wallet:
- you can click icon mining in top window
- or click Debug window -> console
and write
setgenerate true and hit enter
To disable mining write
setgenerate false and hit enter
4. If you want dig by external program you must setup wallet as server
in your hotcoin.conf (server=1, and rpc* settings)
PS. Hotcoin algorithm is different to others coins. Only one block (in all network) is accepted per 2 minutes.
CPU has a bonus on the GPU. a lot also depends on the element of luck
EDIT:
This is in CET timezone (5 minutes ago)
Good Luck
Best Regards.
