Sparks,

    BitcoinII is mineable with Pooler’s cpuminer/minerd, it is not mineable by simply issuing a command in the RPC console like some projects are. You will need to configure BitcoinII’s bitcoinII.conf file first, then you will need to follow one of the links in the README.MD and select the software version applicable to your operating system, and follow Pooler’s easy setup instructions to mine BC2 to a BC2 address of your choosing. There is no built in miner inside BC2 with the exception of the Testnet/regtest miner.cpp and mini-miner.cpp, which aren’t functional for Mainnet mining, just as they’re not functional on Bitcoin Mainnet.

Conversely, if you have an old ASIC laying around, you can deploy one of those as well.

If you have any further trouble getting setup and mining, feel free to holler and I’ll try to walk you through it the best I can, although I’m not the best at explaining things.


I should’ve included some example configs in the repo, that was a lapse of judgement on my part, and I apologize.
