For those interested in mining it is probably the easiest coin to mine following these instructions for windows

https://esp.maxminers.net/index.php?page=gettingstarted

download and extract the cpu miner.

then in notepad or similar text editor program (not microsoft word) Create a file called Start (or whatever you would like to name it)

put the following info in the text (you will need to sign up for a pool to mine this way I chose https://esp.maxminers.net/index.php)

example

cpuminer -a quark -t 6 -s 4 -o stratum+tcp://esp.maxminers.net:5872 -u ben22289.1 -p x

t is how many threads (depending on how many cpu cores you have) username will be your username followed by a . and your worker number or name (again you will set this up after signing up for a mining pool which will be located in my account and then my workers).

once you have this file set up with your own username save it as start.bat and select all files.

Make sure the extracted cpu miner and .bat file are in the same folder.

Then click on the start.bat file to start mining.

To withdraw Espers from the pool you must set up an address to send them too and set all this up in my account. (This is assuming you have already downloaded the Espers wallet.

You can set the pool to automatically deposit Espers or manually depending on your preference.

Now is the time to get behind this innovative coin!!

Hopefully this is helpful to someone looking to get their feet wet in cryptocurrency mining. You need a little computer know-how, but it really isn't to difficult.

Happy mining!!!
