Guys,

I've played a bit with CM1 back in July, but I'm not up to date with the latest best practices and not familiar with MPBM. Now I need to catch up, but trying to extract meaningful info from 110+ pages of this thread is driving me crazy.

I'm willing to announce a bounty of 20 BTC for a Quick-start Guide To Mining with CM1. Let's limit it to Windows for now. This guide should cover all the steps necessary to go from an unpacked box of CM1 board(s) to a fully configured rig that is happily hashing using current best practices. Yes, this should include setting up MPBM and Python environment for it.

The bounty will go to the first one who writes such Guide before September, 20th. It will be paid as soon as I'm able to successfully configure my boards following the proposed steps. Going forward, such Quick-start Guide will be very helpful for people new to CM1, so I invite others to increase the bounty if they are so inclined.
