General MinCoin Info

MinCoin (MNC) – a minimalist version of Bitcoin optimized for CPU mining using scrypt as a proof of work scheme.


*Only 10 million coins total will be generated

*1 minute block targets for ultra fast transactions

*To encourage early adoption block values for first 3 days are :- 500 MNC, 100 MNC, 50 MNC

*After first 3 days block value will be 2 MNC per block until all coins mined which will take roughly 10 years

*Retargets 2 times a day

Mining started at 12:20 GMT April 3 and was announced on IRC and the WWW not long after. There is no

premine!

However, this does require a mandatory update to the mincoin qt client and daemon for all miners and pool operators.

We have made a thread to this effect here: http://mincointalk.com/index.php/topic,87.msg560.html#new

We request that everyone upgrade prior to block 75000 as that is the target block for the new Difficulty re-target of 60blocks

to take effect.

Help getting started

Solo mining:

Run mincoin.exe or compile the source from github. It should close down immediately after not finding a valid config file.

Go to %appdata%\mincoin directory and create a file called mincoin.conf . In this file add two lines

rpcuser=user

rpcpassword=pass

Then save the file. Or you can download the file from here and place it in the same directory:-

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/36733610/mincoin/mincoin.conf

Now run mincoin.exe again.

Run CGMINER or REAPER and point it to http://127.0.0.1:9335 with the username of “user” and password of “pass”

If you use CGMINER set the flag “–expiry 1″ option to make sure you avoid stales, ie

cgminer –scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:9335 -u user -p pass –expiry 1
