Noob here. Sorry for being so basic but how do I mine this coin?

I set up the QT client/wallet but I can't see the option to mine there?

CPU mining from the wallet will not make you much coin at all but if you want to play around and try to win a solo block, you certainly can.

1. In the wallet, click Help->Debug Window.
2. Click the Console tab
3. In the command box at the bottom of the console window, type setgenerate true

Note that this will 100% your cpu and will likely not find any blocks because the difficulty is well above what a CPU miner can keep up with. But you could get lucky.

To stop it, use the same steps as above but... setgenerate false

For Pool mining with a cpu, you will need an x11 mining program. I recommend grabbing whatever download NiceHash is offering since they usually provide the latest and greatest tools.

For any real mining, you would need a GPU or ASIC rig.

BUT - I have to recommend that you not go out and start building a mining rig for Trumpcoin.
To do that before the next announcement will be a costly mistake.

Also - welcome. We were all noobs once. Please feel free to ask questions if you have them.

Hey. Thanks for your reply.

So if I do win a solo block, how many TRUMPs would that be?

The block reward is 50 Trumpcoins.
On a solo block, you would receive the 50 newly minted coins plus any transaction fees that happen be included in the block.
