I'm a newbie with cryptocurrencies I've never mined before and i wanted to try out mining this infinitecoin.
so this is what i did so far:
1) i installed the infinite coin wallet "infinitecoin-1.8.8-win32"
2) i ran the infinitecoinwallet.exe file and went to the "received coins" section; to copy my adress
3) i made a .cmd file inside this "infinitecoin-1.8.8-win32" folder that states "minerd.exe -o
http://treasurequarry.com:9844 -u YOURINFINITECOINADDRESSHERE -p x" with my adress that i saw inside my wallet and a slightly longer password
(on a youtubeclip i saw that i needed to change the minderd to minderd.exe and that the password can be changed so i did this)4) somehow after looking up some videos i thought it was necessary to change my .exe file inside the deamon folder and my infinitecoinwallet.exe file to minerd.exe and i did this
5) when i try to start mining i go to my wallet, press the mining button, select pool mining, fill in "
http://treasurequarry.com:9844" in server, myadress in username and the password that i gave my .cmd file in the password field
but when i press start mining i get an error that says: "Cannot obtain a lock on DATA directory C:\Users\Maxim\AppData\Roaming\Infinitecoin. infinitecoin is probably already running!
