Well, see my comment above... It does work to some extend, but it won't connect to peers. So it feels like soloing with a p2pool-site as front-end.
It doesn't work out of the box though, I needed to move a few files around and rename others. Nothing big. If you're interested I can run through my bash-history to see what I did.
(Was before my first cup of coffee so my built-in memory didn't function yet.)
Thanks, but I think I'm gonna stick with the pool as we now have one... if I continue to mine this coin. That official pool is btw really random, or its payments. I received 50 miniatyre payments 13:40-13:53 GMT worth total of 27 SYN. Then I got nothing for 4 hours. Now, 17:20 GMT I just got 3 little payments worth of 3 SYN. And I have been trying to mine atleast for 12 hours.
SYN seems like a nice coin, but it's not for those who want to mine the newest low-diff coin or who want to play with all or nothing -strategy. If this coins succeeds, it will be a source of steady income. But if I was after steady income, i would just mine in some multipool. So it might be that I change coin soon.
