MINERSCOIN X15 GPU and CPU Mining Guide.

MINERSCOIN is a new X15 based cryptocurrency, read more about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=766157

MinersCoin can be mined by a CPU as well as on a GPU using one of the optimized Miners below.

It is quite easy to mine it currently as diff is quite low:

CPU Mining:

Download the X15 Cpu Miner from one of the links below

CPUminer-Multi

Release Binaries: https://github.com/LucasJones/cpuminer-multi/releases

Bitblock-CPUminer:

Windows (pre-compiled):

Register at any Minerscoin pool e.g https://mic.best-pool.com for an account and set up a worker under "My Workers".

To Compile cpuminer on Linux do:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev zip automake screen libjansson-dev
git clone https://github.com/bitblockproject/Bitblock-CPUminer
cd Bitblock-CPUminer
chmod +x autogen.sh
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make

Start your worker:

enter a "screen" for getting the thread into the background:

Code:

screen

Start your miner:

Code:

./minerd -a bitblock -o stratum+tcp://stratum.best-pool.com:3017 -u worker.username -p worker.passsword &

You can now put this thread into the background by pressing CTRL-A and d
or screen -d

For Windows:

Open a DOS Box where you've downloaded the CPU Miner and:

Code:

minerd -a bitblock -o stratum+tcp://stratum.best-pool.com:3017 -u worker.username -p worker.passsword

For solo mining use:
minerd -a bitblock -o http://127.0.0.1:<rpcport> -O
<rpcuser>:<rpcpassword>

You should now see something like this:

Code:

 Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://bbl.suprnova.cc:3663
 Binding thread 0 to cpu 0
 Binding thread 3 to cpu 3
 4 miner threads started, using 'bitblock' algorithm
 Binding thread 1 to cpu 1
thread 2: 2097152 hashes, 37.03 khash/s
 thread 1: 2097152 hashes, 37.00 khash/s
 thread 3:
2097152 hashes, 36.87 khash/s
 Stratum detected new block
 thread 1: 2097152 hashes, 37.03 khash/s

Check your hashrate on the pool, it should reflect your minerhashrate +-50kh/s

You're now mining MinersCoin!

GPU MINING:
Download the miner for your card, edit your pool, worker,
password and run
