Is there an idiots guide on how to mine Coinye? I signed up to a pool, created my worker. I then downloaded latest build of CGminer and ran it, but i'm not a command line interface person, much prefer a GUI. I found CGwatcher but was confused and when I finally thought I got it setup, it still gave errors.

I'm wondering if there is something else that needs to be installed etc or something needs to be done. This is the same exact problem when I was trying to mine litecoin. Bitcoin however I never had problems with and mined quite a bit several years ago.

Is there like a step by step guide or something? Every pool seems to be using the same web front end software so they all have the exact same "getting started guide".

It's pretty easy. Just make a bat file in your CGminer directory and add this in the file.

Code:

./cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://poolurl:port -u Weblogin.Worker -p Workerpassword

After your worker password, you can add other parameters such as -i, --thread-concurrency, and such.
