Sifcoin is a coin quark was based on, read more about it here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annsic-sifcoin-inflation-fork-240894It is quite easy to mine it currently as diff is quite low:
1.
Sign up for a DigitalCloud Account here.
2. Top up your account with PayPal for at least 10 $
3. Choose "Create Droplet" and start a 8 CPU Droplet with Ubuntu 13.10 x64 in Amsterdam (Country does not matter)
4. Log into your Droplet using SSH and download the Miner from here:
Windows (pre-compiled):
https://mega.co.nz/#!rdJQxLIA!RFYQRA3Mpx2dtL_wW8JLzy7q9sorvzlTukB7vVdtW8M
Linux (Source):
https://github.com/ig0tik3d/sifcoin-miner5. Register at
https://sif.suprnova.cc for an account and set up a worker under "My Workers".
6. Start your worker using the a.bat for windows, replace worker.username and worker.password with your details before.
For Linux do:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev zip automake screen
git clone https://github.com/ig0tik3d/sifcoin-miner.git
cd sifcoin-miner
chmod +x autogen.sh
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make
now enter a "screen" for getting the thread into the background:
screen
Start your miner:
./minerd -a sif -o stratum+tcp://sic.suprnova.cc:7777 -u worker.username -p worker.passsword
You can now put this thread into the background by pressing CTRL-A and then "d" (without the "")
7. You should now see something like this:

8. Check your hashrate on the pool, it should reflect your minerrate +-50kh/s
You're now mining sifcoin !
