Thank you guys

I really appreciate the feedback.

Btw, bonker, I really like your avatar pic Roll Eyes

it made me laugh and fixed my mood for the night, it is 21.25H here.

@Spiral.
Thank you very much for the details.

I guess I will try this new CHN coin then, I guess it won't harm me then, since so many seem to have taken it up.

Just looking for something new, just so I can see something with the obsolete rigs I have, if I am doing it right and getting returns on solo before I go and get anything else new.

Thank you.

Idiot proof?

Feathercoin has been around only for a few weeks and looks like a copycat scam run by a few shady spivs with lots of sock accounts here. So I suppose an idiot proof approach is to not mine the junk at all.

Still, considering the the amount of naive idealists/monged out junkies/bonehead schoolkids on here there's bound to be a few takers of it.

Sinbad Mixer: Mix Your BTC Quickly

Easiest way would be the following:

Download CGMiner (or Reaper, I haven't had luck with it, though): http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/
Sign up for a Feathercoin pool and make a "worker" in your account there, there's many pools to choose from... Quick List:

Make a text file with a .bat extension (name whatever you want) in the CGMiner folder. In, put something like this:

Quote

cgminer --scrypt -o PoolAddress -u workerName -p workerPassword

Then just run the .bat file, it should work. You can fine tune it if you'd like.

Example, I'm on the fhc. ub3rl33t .com/ pool, so I'd use this command:
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://fhc.ub3rl3[Suspicious link removed]m:3334 -u TheSpiral.1 -p x
The URL should be on the pool page itself.

Hi, I know the title is familiar, sorry OP, I snitched it from another forum, but I would like a simple guide that would say, install this, use that.
I am interested in doing solo for now.
I have two computers, one old, heck, both are old.
pc1:
Q8400
P5Q m/b
win XP 32 bit
9600GT 2GB
4GB Ram
Plenty of storage

pc2:
AMD 5450 - 1GB
Atom 330
4GB Ram

Thank you.
