Hello, im pretty much new to this, I want to clear things: there is no gui wallet, like monero? dont you have to sync with ur network? with merged mining, I mine for both fantom and monero in a monero pool? Sry for being a noob, but seems interesting nonetheless
Right, there's no GUI wallet to date. If you want to merge mine, you'll need a wallet address for FCN and for one of the other coins (like BCN). To get a wallet address for each, you'll need to follow the instructions on the first page of this thread. I've copied those instructions below and added my commentary underneath each step in blue text that I hope is newb-friendly. I used Ubuntu 14.04 on a 64-bit system.
First of all be sure of two things:
You have BCN or BMR address. If you don't know how to get it, please visit this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bcn-bytecoin-not-a-bitcoin-fork-how-to-544715
You downloaded FantomCoin binaries and extracted them somewhere.
I used the Linux binaries https://mega.co.nz/#!dNchULBa!V_3ym3FuwHx46ceMziehoo0UOvy4F3lImLGeGhvYPj0
and extracted them to /home/ME/fantomcoin
If you don't have the other coin's binaries (ByteCoin for my example), get those binaries from its site. I extracted mine to /home/ME/bytecoin
1. Launch Bytecoin's or Bitmonero's daemon and wait till its synchronization.
I opened a Terminal and entered these commands:
cd bytecoin
./launch bytecoind
It may be a good idea to periodically type 'save' (without quotes) while it's downloading the blockchain. The ByteCoin blockchain took me 2-3 hours.
The output in the Terminal will tell you when the blockchain has been downloaded (synched). Be sure to type "save" after you see that message.
You need to do this before you can generate a BCN address.
(All of this info can be found in the README file. It will tell you how to generate your address as well. For me, the README was located at /home/ME/bytecoin/README)
2. Start FantomCoin's daemon. The process is very similar to BCN's: launch command line, navigate to the right folder and launch fantomoind.exe .
Use "save" command after synchronization.
You can do this while the ByteCoin chain is downloading, or you can wait until it is done and then do this.
I opened a separate Terminal and entered these commands:
cd fantomcoin
./launch fantomcoind
It may be a good idea to periodically type 'save' (without quotes) while it's downloading the blockchain. The Fantomcoin blockchain will take probably an hour or less to download.
The output in the Terminal will tell you when the blockchain has been downloaded (synched). Be sure to type "save" after you see that message.
You need to do this before you can generate a FCN address.
(All of this info can be found in the README file. For me, the README was located at /home/ME/fantomcoin/README)
3. Create FCN's address. Again it is the same process as for BCN and BMR: open another instance of command line, navigate to Fantomcoin’s folder
and generate new wallet with “simplewallet”.
simplewallet --generate-new-wallet=example_wallet.bin --pass=12345
Here “example_wallet.bin” is the name of the wallet (use .bin file extension) and “12345” is the password for your new wallet.
At this point, you should have both of your wallet addresses. To merge mine from the command line, continue below. If you'd rather use a GUI to mine, get the SoloMiner, which doesn't require you to have bytecoind and fantomcoind running (meaning you don't need to be downloading each blockchain), skip Step 4 and go to GUI Mining Instructions below.
4. One more command line is needed. Navigate to Fantomcoin's folder and launch minerc.exe using the next command:
minerc --node1=127.0.0.1:8081 --node2=127.0.0.1:24081 --wallet1=%your BCN or BMR address% --wallet2=%your FCN address%
Do this after your wallets are created and saved. You can exit your wallets, but you need to have both bytecoind and fantomcoind running (in separate Terminals) before proceeding. As for the original example above, don't actually enter the percent signs. In the Ubuntu Terminal, my example is like this:
./minerc --threads=3 --node1=127.0.0.1:8081 --node2=127.0.0.1:24081 --wallet1=your_BCN_or_BMR_address --wallet2=your_FCN_address
I believe the default threads are 1, so if you want more than 1 thread, you'll need to specify as in the example above.
--node1=127.0.0.1:8081 is IP and BCN's daemon port. If you want MM with BMR you need to use this one: --node1=127.0.0.1:18081 instead
--node2=127.0.0.1:24081 is IP and FCN's daemon port
5. Enjoy merged mining!
GUI Mining Instructions: Get and install SoloMiner http://solominer.org/. In my example, I'm MM with BCN and FCN. Open SoloMiner and select a Donor network and then paste in your Donor wallet address (in my case, BCN). Select a Donor host address other than the one starting with 127 (but use 127 if you are running bytecoind on the same machine and you want to download the blockchain while you mine).
Below that, for the Acceptor Network, select FCN and paste in your FCN address in the Acceptor wallet address. Select an Acceptor host address other than the one starting with 127 (but use 127 if you are running fantomcoind on the same machine and you want to download the blockchain while you mine).
Select your thread count and start MM!

As far as I know there is no gui wallet, unfortunately.
WIth MM I'll mine both coins

What are teh differences between this coin and FantomCoin? 
Ehm... What? Can you elaborate on this? I didn't really understand your question.
Lol, I meant QuazarCoin.
I fear there are a million alt cryptonote coins without big reasons to exist and it becomes another joke like Bitcoin and all the alts.
Fantomcoin is the only one with a Merged Mining support - meaning is - you can mine BCN/MRO/QCN and FCN simultaneously.
Will it expand to future cryptonote coins? who invented merge mining?
also, how does it work, you split your hashing power or same hashing power? wouldn't that stress the CPU a lot?
amphibian developed cryptonote coins merged mining himself. But as far as I know merged mining was implemented to Namecoin-Bitcoin pair first time.
Merged mining uses hashpower from one blockchain in other blockchain. "Donor" blockchain knows nothing about MM while "merge mining" blockchain is able to accept PoW from "donor" blockchain. Several "merge mining" blockchains can use work from "donor" blockchain at the same time (on same mining machine).
So you mine with the same hashing power but as a result you are rewarded with two (or more) types of coins, not one as while usual mining.

Hey guys,
Created a separate topic for SoloMiner - decided to keep this topic clean.
SoloMiner discussion topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fcnmroqcnbcn-gui-miner-611121
Also, would like to start a bounty for the OP translation and post: 20 FCN for each post. PM me as soon as you create a post and I'll send you the reward.
Have a good day.
Cheers.

Thank you for providing logs, try to enter "save" in both deamons and start mining.
Let me know if problem persists.
Let me know if problem persists.
Thank you. Evidently I didn't have all of the BTE blockchain, as you suspected. I was almost sure I had saved it before exiting, but since I'm new to the BTE and FCN, I probably messed it up. Anyway, the good news is that I'm hashing away. Thanks again!
I think FCN has a lot to offer and I appreciate your work on making this a coin with valid purposes.

Hey guys,
There was a lot of problems with the last GUI miner version so I decided to build a new one.
Main point of it is this: I declined the concept of 4gb_memory_blockchain - all you have to do now is enter your BCN/MRO/QCN and FCN wallet address and connect to one of the nodes directly. It will solve the issue with the “eternal_BCN_sync”.
You can find new miner here: http://solominer.org/ currently it is in beta so please don’t hesitate to submit bugs or suggestions.
Also, BMR/MRO and QCN developers can contact me through PM to talk about the direct nodes for miners.
That’s pretty much all for now - post here in case of any questions.
Cheers.

Thanks for looking into this, I really appreciate it! The addresses for both were correctly copy and pasted.
Here are the last parts of the log files from each of the simplewallets (both addresses shortened for posting). These were produced after both blockchains had been downloaded, saved, and were still running.
/home/ME/bytecoin/simplewallet.log
/home/ME/fantomcoin/simplewallet.log
As stated, the blockchains for both were downloaded, saved, and wallets were generated, but for the sake of thoroughness, here are other errors. Only a few of these were interspersed in these log files:

I'm trying to MM Fantomcoin with Bytecoin but can't get it to work. I've downloaded both blockchains and generated addresses for each.
Are these the steps I need to take in order to MM (in Ubuntu 14.04)?
I did all of this, and in the last terminal, after I run the minerc command, I got row after row of "Failed to get block1"
What am I doing wrong?

Hello,
Researching this problem ATM, was not able to reproduce it on Ubuntu13. I assume both daemons are fully synced since you were able to create a wallet.
I was able to reproduce this problem with a wrong BCN address, make sure you're using the correct one. Going to change the error's text soon.
