[OICN]

This Guide Is kind of outdated at this point in Omnicoin's Life, To get the most coins you should pool mine or switch to pool if you are currently solo mining unless you have a very high khash rate.

Best Of Luck to You Al! :)

I have received a few pm's from members trying to start mining Omnicoin (I don't mind helping :D ).

I have pmed them back a quick tutorial I have written and figured might as well post it for people who are getting started. Will try to update/maybe add pictures once I get some sleep but hopefully this can help get you started :D
_Tutorial_

1st. Download the wallet from https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?ti...id36914259

2.Open and let it sync.

I assume your windows so

Open up C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming

Easy especially if you are on windows 7 just search %appdata%

You then create a text file and ente

rpcuser=omni
rpcpassword=omni
addnode=192.241.154.95
rpcport=43555
server=1
daemon=1

and save as omnicoin.conf it shouldn't be a text file, should just have a blank icon.

Then if you have cgminer or another miner skip to next step, if not

download a miner, I prefer cgminer (If you new to mining use - http://guiminer.org/guiminer-scrypt.html and just plug in the information to use :) )

Update link - for cgminer, the offical release is a non-compiled version so here is the original compiled one :) http://ge.tt/api/1/files/5MKMAQ91/0/blob?download

Open another text document in the cgminer or other miner folder

Enter

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o 127.0.0.1:43555 -u omni -p omni -I 15 -g 1 -w 512 --thread-concurrency 24550 --gpu-powertune 20

You may have to bring the I 15 lower if you have a less powerful system, copy and paste that line into .txt file and save as whatever.bat Other settings might need to be tweaked for you, I just copied what I was testing the coin with. (this part got deleted last time I edited- Those settings are mine for my card, it's best to go to https://litecoin.info/Mining_Hardware_Comparison and find your card and use those settings

Needs to end in .bat and should change to a gear icon.

Now open .bat file. If you did everything correctly you should be mining :)

Hope that helps. Hope I didn't miss anything but very tired right now so hopefully someone can post if I missed something etc :D

Use version 3.7.2 or earlier. All version after that have scrypt deleted

Never mined any coins before, when I hover over the mining icon at the bottom of omnicoin client it says mining at 4k hashes so is it working and will I earn anything?

Mining did not start the bat file starts and closes itself

This happens to me too, I don't know why:(

I get this: https://puu.sh/5KoCf/4d333dd0d3.png

No idea why. Do you have any idea what could cause this?

That says DogeCoin in your CMD, also what miner you using?

I'm using CudaMiner.

It seems like different altcoins are just appearing all over the place nowadays.

[Goodies]

What if I'm not on windows?
I'm kidding. I know Linux obviously supports Scrypt. I just don't know what the point of this is...

You don't leave the username/password the same on the .cofig file right? you are supposed to change them?

[The Real Slim Shaddy]

No you keep the username and password same in the config file

[Flows]

When I run the .bat, it just closed anyone know why?
