I'll share a bit of a secret of mine. You're free to do with it whatever you want:
In this example I'll use sCoin as an example since all pools of the coin seem down.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First you need to have a working scoin.conf file.
The location of this file is (assuming you're using windows) %APPDATA%/scoin/ (paste this in your file browser to go there)
This /scoin folder does not exist at first.
If it doesn't exist, your wallet has to be started once. Now exit the wallet before proceeding to the next step.
You can make the scoin.conf file (if it doesn't exist) by creating a scoin.txt file and pasting something like this in it using notepad:
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=6789
#Nodes below, you can add more if you can't sync at all. Check the forum thread if you have issues
addnode=72.200.125.180
addnode = 5.199.149.228
addnode=101.231.170.120
addnode=106.68.150.207
addnode=192.227.238.143
addnode=184.171.220.177
addnode=95.96.146.121
addnode=219.102.68.28
addnode=70.81.235.22
addnode=72.23.75.209
addnode=95.95.107.190
addnode=24.21.47.215
addnode=50.173.102.177
#This means every miner from the internet can connect and mine for you. I use this to point cloudminers from leaserig to mine sCoin.
#Only miners WITHOUT LRP can be used this way.
rpcallowip=*
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
gen=0
rename your scoin.txt file to scoin.conf. If you don't see file extensions, enable them, see this short video if you don't know how to do so:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxIIskKmUQAYou also need to port forward the RPC port
6789 to your local machine on your router. There are settings in your router to do this.
Go to the settings panel by navigating to 192.168.1.1 in your browser and login to your router. I can't help you there further since most routers differ. Google will help you.
Now to start mining you need to point your miner to the right IP and Port.
If you're mining from your PC you could point your miner to:
http://127.0.0.1:
6789If you're mining using a cloudminer from leaserig.net, point the miner to:
(Let's assume your internet IP is
64.23.120.32 check yours on cmyip.com)
http://
64.23.120.32:6789Make sure that the RPC port
6789 is the same as the one used in your scoin.conf
If you have any problems or question, send a message.
