I'm using Cgminer and pool.coinyechain.info for GPU/pool mining. Assuming you've already downloaded the Coinye-qt wallet:
1. Download cgminer 3.7.2
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.7/cgminer-3.7.2-windows.zip. Extract.
2. Go to pool.coinyechain.info. Sign up for an account. Add a worker, make the and the password really easy. It doesn't matter if someone has your worker's name and password, the worst they could is mine coinye for you
. Name the worker "1", and make the password "123".
3. In Windows Explorer, navigate to your cgminer folder. Left-click in some empty space in the window (so no file is selected), then Shift+Right-click --> Open command window here. (if for some reason this doesn't work, just Start-->type "cmd"-->type cd: c:\thepath\toyour\cgminer). Start cgminer from the command line like this:
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.coinyechain.info:3333 -u YourUserName.1 -p 123
Cgminer should start up and should be mining. In 5 minutes or so your hashrate should show up on pool.coinyechain.info.
Try and get that far first. Let me know if there are issues or you make it that far.
