Very thanks
One question
Syns must is on in mining
Or no i get address and start mining in windows or smos??? Not problems??

Just generate an address and then you can start mining on your windows, Linux - any distros. Just get equihash miner, point to a pool, enter your address and start mining.

Hi, I successully run ./src/votecoind
but hen I tried to check balance I get the following error:
Code:
  ____   ____     __           _________  ________  .__

fds@cump:~/VoteCoin$ sudo ./src/votecoin-cli getbalance
error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1)
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)

I just cloned git, and built VoteCoin, than checked and appendend lines in conf and run it...am I doing it wrong?
How to check my balance and current adress, that I should enter into minine configuration? Chow to check my current "VoteCoinTaddress" and configure it in miner?

Open another terminal while the node is running and generate a new address. If you already have an address, just run
Code:
./votecoin-cli z_getbalance *address*
inside src directory.

I can't seem to create a votecoin.conf file in the correct directory, where is the conf file supposed to be and how is it created?

using Ubuntu 16.04



There must be some syntax issues that you might be facing. Ubuntu folder naming is case-sensitive. So if your folder is VoteCoin inside your home directory and you are running commands as votecoin. It won't do nothing.
