Hi!
Well, I'm totally new to mining, please be patient with me

I wanted to install the client on a linux system (debian) and downloaded the source
from the link in the very first post of this thread.
First of all in the contrib/debian/bin folder there is a binary called novacoind. Is it for mining hobonickels?
The novacoind.install says copy novacoind to /usr/bin and src/novacoind /usr/lib/novacoin/ (I didnt find any directors src containing novacoind?)
I copied the bin/novacoind to the folders.
Starting novacoind it created the ~HOME/.novacoin/novacoin.conf but no wallet.dat and the other directories to store the database.
I adjusted novacoin.conf to:
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
port=7372
rpcport=7373
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
gen=1
genproclimit=-1
addnode=69.85.86.195
addnode=84.22.139.7
addnode=159.224.220.21
addnode=118.209.0.241
addnode=162.243.69.147
addnode=91.69.177.224
addnode=206.72.202.20
addnode=178.75.180.121
addnode=178.49.118.233
addnode=68.186.147.243
addnode=162.243.109.244
maybe someone can help .
Thanks.
Hey dude, you need to be amending your HoboNickels.conf If you are a bit lost drop me a PM but I assume you have the latest client etc...
