Heres how to mine primecoin in a few simple steps

1. Download the precompiled binaries or do a git clone and compile your own executables like how would be done to litecoin.

2 visit the appdata folder
Windows: press the windows key and R. After this type %appdata% and make a folder called primecoin. In this folder create the primecoin.conf file shown below.

Linux: visit the users home folder and press control and h to show hidden files. create a folder called primecoin and create primecoin.conf in that folder

primecoin.conf file
rpcuser=****username***
rpcpassword=****password***
rpcport=***any port(mine is 8001)****
gen=1

I created the primcoin.conf file in my primecoin folder (Just pasted stuff into notepad and saved in already existing primecoin folder from wallet installation).

Not sure what to put for rpcuser and rpc password. Also Not sure what to do after file is created.

I'm a complete novice at mining so any additional steps would be helpful.

user/pass for most users doesn't mean much, you can put whatever you want there. It's just if you use a program like cgminer, that's what info you put it. There's no external miners right now, so it doesn't matter much right now. Just put fill it in with whatever.

Once it's saved, this is the file that your client uses for its settings. Just start up your client and it will now mine (because of the gen=1 line in the .conf), that's it!

HOw can I tell if it's working?

Type "getmininginfo" into the Console (help>>Debug Window>>Console) If it says "generate" : true, and "primespersec" : something it is working.
