Perhaps for Windoze noobs, but there are gaps in the steps for linux users on how to mine, like how to select the correct YAM file to download off mega-dl site for the CPU being used to mine with.

Q1: Why do you use the proprietary YAM miner in your tut? According to Atithasos it takes 2.5% of the proceeds. Atithasos says the lucas jones (wolf miner) can also be used, but it's a GPU miner not a CPU miner. I'll check into it. It requires compilation but that should be no problem. I do understand why you don't get into detailed instructions for linux users, most of whom probably already know how to mine, compile and use cmd line tools. A few words might be nice for those that are new to it tho.

Q2: Can old machines be used to pool mine bipcoin? I am going to try to use an old 2Ghz system with 3GB RAM running a single core AMD 64 bit CPU. It's pretty snappy with Ubuntu 14.04 but that CPU is quite old. Tho mobo in that system has an integrated GPU, so if the wolf miner will work on that system it might produce a better hash rate than a CPU miner would.
