Welcome to all new members! This is aimed primarily as a quick start mining guide for new comers and those who simply want to get started mining without playing with settings.

• First, head over to the FeatherCoin GitHub and download the latest release of the FeatherCoin Wallet for your Operating System.

Head over to Wallet>Receiving Addresses in the FeatherCoin Wallet and take note of the address listed. This address will be what you mine to.

• Next, you need to download your mining program. For AMD based miners, nsgminer is recommended; and for NVidia systems, ccminer is recommended.

Make sure you download the correct version of either one for your Operating System, as well as the correct CUDA revision if using ccminer.

• Now you need to decide on a pool to mine to. P2Pool mining pools are recommended, however other centralised pools are popular too. For a list of public P2Pools, see here. Other popular centralised pools are GiveMeCoins and The Blocks Factory.

Remember it’s always best to be mining into a pool whose server is situated closest to you.

• With your receiving address, mining software and pool decided on you’re now ready to create your batch file. The batch file needs to be located within the directory of your mining software in order to execute correctly. Create a new text document and copy the following lines in for your respective mining software.

For ccminer:
ccminer.exe -a neoscrypt -o <your_mining_pool> -u <wallet_address> -p x
(Note, ccminer.exe may be different depending on the release you downloaded and may need altering. Check to see what .exe your mining software is.)

For NSGminer:
nsgminer.exe --neoscrypt -g 1 -w 128 -I 16 -o <your_mining_pool -u <wallet_address> -p x

Save the text documented as all file formats, and name it mine.bat

With all this you’re ready to start mining FeatherCoin!
Note, some mining pools may require you to set up an account with them and possibly may have different batch file requirements. Make sure to follow the example batch files given by these pools.

Now that you’re up and mining, you can sit back and relax while reaping the rewards! Enjoy!

@Tobi97l Good job with that :)

Done a lot of reading about on the forums the last week and a bit, just wanted to say what an amazing community this is! Clearly an amazing bunch of people with the same great core values that want to see this brilliant coin succeed!

Give yourselves a pat on the back from me :)

Welcome to the community! :)

@cryptohaga welcome newbie ;)

@mr_oli I’m using 1070s, and I use the CUDA 9 x64 revision of ccminer. What have you currently got in your batch file? The string below should be good for you if you use the ccminer that I mentioned above:

ccminer-x64.exe -a neoscrypt -d 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 -o <pool info> -u <wallet address> -p x

You can replace “-d 0,1,2,3,4,5,6” with “-t 7” but doesn’t make much difference. Hopefully that helps you.

@wrapper I appreciate the warm welcome!

Curious to see how other Brits go about buying and selling FTC. Obviously would be GBP->BTC->FTC, so wondering what people use for that initial GBP to BTC. There are a few posts from ~year ago but wanted something a little more up to date! Thanks all

If anyone has any suggestions or changes feel free to let me know so I can implement them!

@jollyroger514 no need to apologise! Welcome to the forum! Is that the neoscrypt source code post that you’re referring to? You should be able to reply no problems, but what’s the question? I may be able to help from here if needs be

Sorry for the hiatus all, busy last few months for me! I’ll be updating and refreshing the guide in the coming week. I’ll be reading through all of your comments to see what has been suggested!

And thank you very much to all that kindly tipped, was very generous. I’ll be donating a portion to the Feathercoin donation wallet soon!

@acidd thanks buddy!

@wellenreiter I’ll be sure to include it when I make some changes tonight! Thanks!

@wrapper wasn’t too sure where would be best for it but thought this is where new members would look first. Feel free to move it though :)

@lcr11 p2pool and Supra are mining pools. The best NVidia miner is ccminer for your 1070s. https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases is the GitHub address and I’d recommend ccminer-x64-2.2.2-cuda9 for you!

For a basic mining rig you just need a wallet with a receiving address; a compatible miner (ccminer); a pool you plan to mine in; and a batch file that will run everything
