How to mine newly created coin from GENCOIN.IO (or is it just a big scam ?)

[masterfred]

Hi Everyone !

Happy to be able to post now !

I've created my coin for testing purpose. I want to test some of this new digital currency in computer class I teach.

I just received my package from gencoin.io. I choosed scrypt version.

How the hell do I mine my own coin ?

I've done alot of reading during those 4 logged hours ... not to mention google, it's no where to be found !

I want to :

- Solo Mine either CPU or GPU

I also want people to mine those coins via pool or similar

It seems that this is locked to their ip (coingen.io) at the port I choose (5555).

During my search I found out that ALOT of people are in the same boat and unhappy with gencoin.io ... 0 support

With your help I want to create a how to / tutorial on how to mine you new own coin ...

Thanks all !

I speculated into solo CPU or GPU mining a while ago, but was never very successful at discovering any definitive answers.

C'mon, this guy he's from the forum, it's borderline scam this coingen thing ... espcially if he has sold it ...

What a ripff

Go to the Help console in the client.

Type setgenerate true -1.
 
Type getmininginfo.  If it says generate = true you are mining.

It worked for me. see this howto: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=406476.0

I just downloaded the swisscoin client form here:

and was able to start mining..
