I have no idea how to get this working Sad

Setting up the miner

1. Download the miner.

2. Unzip somewhere handy, and navigate to the folder.

3. Create a text file called yacoin.bat in the extracted folder.

4. Edit yacoin.bat, adding one of the following four lines, depending on your operating system.

Windows 64 bit*

Code:
minerd_scrypt_jane_x64_avx.exe -a scrypt-jane -o http://URL:PORT -O USER:PASSWORD
minerd_scrypt_jane_x64_ssse3.exe -a scrypt-jane -o http://URL:PORT -O USER:PASSWORD
minerd_scrypt_jane_x64.exe -a scrypt-jane -o http://URL:PORT -O USER:PASSWORD

Windows 32 bit

Code:
minerd_scrypt_jane_x32.exe -a scrypt-jane -o http://URL:PORT -O USER:PASSWORD

*Note: AVX support started from Windows 7 x64 SP1. You may need to experiment until you choose the best exe file for your operating system and processor.

5. Replace the URL, PORT, USER and PASSWORD with the relevant details depending on where you are mining and save the text file.

6. Click the newly created yacoin.bat to start mining.

To make your life easier, you could right click your yacoin.bat file and create a shortcut on your Desktop for easy launching of the miner. If you ever need to change the config, just return to the folder and edit the .bat file.

Troubleshooting

If the miner exits immediately, check config carefully and try again. If you're not sure which version of the miner you should be using, try one of the other .exe files (change it in yacoin.bat).
