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...

@layerz

I can't send a pm yet. I downloaded the source.tar.gz from this website http://www.hobonickels.info/ (I followed the links there). And in the source file there's only novacoin client included. that's confusing. Is there another way to get the HoboNickels client binary for linux?

I just downloaded the tar ball, the source code is for HoboNickels, but the files under contrib are novacoin. Sorry for the confusion. I will fix this in the next release.

For now it is best to compile your own. The files under doc have instructions on how to compile.
