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.

Could you dumb down the amd cards for windows part? I have no clue where to put the clpts file and no clue how to launch the miner. Seems very complicated unnecessarily.
Thanks.
