-=ANNOUNCEMENT=-

So in a few hours (at Midnight on February 14th, UTC) Chancoin will switch to its new PoW algorithm, Cloverhash!

At present we have a cpuminer fork with cloverhash (aka nightcap) implemented available at https://github.com/chancoin-core/cpuminer-multi - branch 'linux'

At present, compiling for windows is left as an exercise to the reader - a windows binary is forthcoming, as is a stratum implementation and a GPU miner. Oh, and a whitepaper.

I know, I know, blah blah blah - the author of the algo, Name - yes his name is Name - is very busy right now and our policy is that our devs well-being comes first, so deal with it.

Anyhow, some instructions for how to solo mine chancoin with cloverhash follow:


How to mine Chancoin with cpuminer

Download cpuminer here: https://github.com/chancoin-core/cpuminer-multi (go to releases for prebuilt binary or build branch 'linux')
Download latest Chancoin wallet here:  https://github.com/chancoin-core/chancoin (again, go to releases)
Create an empty configuration file at ~/.chancoin/chancoin.conf
Edit the configuration file, here’s the template, fill accordingly:

rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=yourpassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1
addnode=fnord
addnode=blah
addnode=whatever
addnode=twinklehouse

Add as many nodes as you can, change user and password, save. See thread for nodes.

From bash, enter "./cpuminer -a cloverhash -o http://127.0.0.1:RPCPORT -O RPCUSER:RPCPASSWORD"

OK - lets see how this goes. If anyone has questions pop them in here or in our _actual_ discord at https://discord.me/chancoin

We'll do our best to address any issues as they arise.
