HowTo mine Bitcredits (BCR) - Update @ 03/21/2015
A. Solomining
Download the wallet (current version 0.30.14):
Windows:
https://mega.co.nz/#!Zsoz3RZI!hbM2_StwgbprnRvPrMmyoQEd7VvHfq6k1dB09XZniZ4 Linux: (must be compiled by you - to many dependencies to meet - see HowTo Linux Compiling Wallet at the end of the post)
Source:
https://github.com/bitcreditscc/bicreditsnewStart the wallet and leave it to synchronize with the network.
Create an bitcredit.conf file:
Windows: %appdata%\Bitcredit\bitcredit.conf
Linux: ~/.bitcredit/bitcredit.conf
with the following content:
server=1
genproclimit=0
rpcuser=<someuser>
rpcpassword=<somepass>
rpcallowip=localhost
rpcport=8776
then point your miner to localhost:8776.
eg: clpts_x86-64.exe -o localhot:8776 -u <someuser>:<somepass> -g 2 -a 0

1. CPU
Best miner at the current date is yam M7v by yvg1900:
https://mega.co.nz/#F!UlkU0RyR!E8n4CFkqVu0WoOnsJnQkSg1.1 Windows - 64 bit
Download the appropriate miner for your OS and processor type.
See yam-bcr.cfg example inside the archive and modify to your needs putting your BCR address and pools inside.
Copy the yam-bcr.cfg in the same directory with yam.exe.
Create a .bat file with the following content:
yam.exe -c yam.bcr.cfg
pause
Save it and run it.
1.2 Linux & MacOS - 64 bit
Download the appropriate miner for your OS and processor type.
See yam-bcr.cfg example inside the archive and modify to your needs putting your BCR address and pools inside.
Copy the yam-bcr.cfg in the same directory with yam.
Create a start.sh file with your favorite editor with the following content:
#!/bin/bash
screen -dmS bcr ./yam -c yam.bcr.cfg
Save it, "chmod +x start.sh", run it.
To connect to the screen "screen -r"
To deattache from the screen "CTRL+A after CTRL+D"
2. AMD Cards
Best miner at the current date is clpts v2.0 by NaN (

Clpts:
Poolmining:
Note: clpts_x86.exe stand for 32bit exe, clpts_x86-64.exe stand for 64bit exe.
Copy the appropriate binaries kernel for the AMD drivers that you have installed into the "binaries" directory.
Create an .bat file with the following content:
clpts_x86-64.exe -o 1 -u 5qN3ZasN345N5UoEVg2iZ4DtwA8YjyjJic:x -o 2 -u 5qN3ZasN345N5UoEVg2iZ4DtwA8YjyjJic:x -g 2 -a 0
pause
Save it and run it.
Modify the BCR address. This will use p2pool.website as primary pool and bcrp2pool.website as secondary pool for mining. See readme.txt.
