So you want to MINE ⏣SKC?

Before you get started, make sure you have a fully operational ⏣SKC wallet. The miner will not work without it.

First things first, you need to prepare your wallet for mining. Close the client and edit the seckcoin.conf file using your favorite text editor. Yes, even if it is nano.

  • For Linux/OSX clients it is located: ~/.seckcoin.conf
  • For Windows clients it is located: %appdata%/SecKCoin/seckcoin.conf

By default, your wallet has been configured NOT to accept RPC connections for security. The RPC connection opens up your wallet to be controlled by other programs, and we are going to need to configure it so that your miner software is able to get work from your wallet and deposit ⏣SKC.

Edit the seckcoin.conf file and find the following line (should be line 55)

You must set rpcuser and rpcpassword to secure the JSON-RPC api

Remove the # from the beginning of the next two lines, and change the password to something unique and totally secure, so that it looks something like this (but with a different password)

rpcuser=SECKC_rpc rpcpassword=SENDALLYOURCOINSTOMETHISISREALLYMYPASSWORD

only 127.0.0.1 can connect to RPC. UNLESS YOU REALLY (REALLY) understand what you are doing, do not change that

any litecoin miner will work the wallet passes the work to the miner,

looks like https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=626361 is a good choice

so the way it works is you will point it at 127.0.0.1 using the username & pass THAT YOU CHANGED RIGHT in your seckcoin.conf file. RPC port is 11337 (unless you changed it in conf)

oh it looks like pooler has a windows port too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55038.0 (use poolers for now)
