How do we set up the KNCs to mine alt-coins? Care to elaborate?
Download PPcoin Client
Install PPcoin client to a windows PC
Run once ppcoin client and quit
If your PC is Windows 7 goto Users/your user name/AppData/Roaming/PPcoin and create ppcoin.conf as follows

rpcuser=anyname
rpcpassword=anypassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=your pc ip
rpcport=9902
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
gen=0

Then restart your ppcoin client and let download the whole block chain.
After that goto your miner and point to
your pc ip:9902
anyname (as above in ppcoin.conf)
anypassword
Restart cgminer, ensure via ssh that is working and hashing and wait
Average block finding time is 4-8 hours for a Saturn (each block equals to 0,41 BTC)

That is how to solo mine PPCoins.
For the rest, nobody posted about it.

Should I expect 12-16 hours on a mercury?  wow thats pretty sweet.  Im getting .21 since the diff jump for 24 hrs on btcguild with 160 GH (has 20 GH of other stuff too)

I'm just trying. It might be unprofitable now but I bet that in 1 or 2 difficulty jump alt coin will be more profitable.

Why would you want to mine Unobtanium (UNO) coins ?
It's not profitable versus BTC. Nothing is : http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency/?sha256

I'm trying to mine alt coin with a jupiter.

I put for exemple stratum+tcp://un.coinmine.pl:6200 in thee pool url and then I put worker name and password but when i click the apply/ restart button, it reset to the old configuration.

I tried with different pool, same problem.
