Btw, is this datacoin.conf fine or i need something more?
gen=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=Patejl
rpcpassword=blabla
sievesize=1000000

The conf is correct, however, I would add to it:
1) some addnode commands - copy into your conf the content of http://datacoin.info/addnodes in the format addnode=IP for ip numbers listed there, for example:
addnode=113.200.251.46
addnode=124.230.98.12
2) some other stuff:
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1

(If I remember correctly - "listen" gives you the possibility to communicate with the running process, thanks to "daemon" datacoind runs in the background and "server" allows external miners to get work from the datacoin and push results back)
Restart the datacoind afterwards.

Anyway, all i can say now is that works and uses all my cores.
I don't know how to display primes/s or how to check my wallet's address, all i can see is an empty black window, i don't know any parameters to use with this miner. Is there any way to display "getmininginfo" results as in windows wallet?


From what I know, the -hp branches of wallets, not only for datacoin, were meant to be efficient for mining. The GUI was not the objective - to be honest I did not even try to run it. So, after updating the conf, run the datacoind in the terminal, and communicate with the running process via the same binary, providing it the commands in the command line. So - the the basic info you can get by executing:

datacoind getinfo

To get you address:

datacoind getaccountaddress ""

The "" asks for address of nameless account, which is default. For listing of all available commands try

datacoind help


I hope that this helps,
