Mining is the act of using computational processing power to verify transactions on the Feathercoin network. As a reward for this effort a miner is given Feathercoins. Mining can be done on either computer processors (CPUs) or graphics cards (GPUs), however at this time GPU mining is the most efficient and best publicly available option. Check out the forums for the latest information.

To mine Feathercoin you will need to use the NeoScrypt algorithm. NeoScrypt is a successor to the Scrypt algorithm.

1. Create account.

• Register here, or login if you already have account
• Create a worker that will be used by the miner to login

2. Download a miner.

• Intel/ATI/AMD BFGMiner Linux/Windows: Download here
• Fabulous Panda Miner Mac OS X: Download here
• Minerd CPU Miner Mac/Linux/Windows: Download here.

3. Configure your miner.

If your using Linux, Then type the following into the console:

• CGMiner

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://161.97.172.98:3333 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword

• BFGMiner

./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://161.97.172.98:3333 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword




If you want to mine on a Windows Operating System, then you'll need to create a batch file to start your miner.

Simply open notepad and then copy and paste the following:

• CGMiner

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://161.97.172.98:3333 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword

• BFGMiner

bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://161.97.172.98:3333 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword

• MinerD

minerd -a -t 6 -s 4 -o stratum+tcp://161.97.172.98:3333 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword




You then need to change "-u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password" to reflect your own account. Eg, "-u Steve.StevesWorker -p StevesWorkerPassword" then go to "File > Save as" and save the file as "RunMe.bat" in the same folder containing your miners application files. You are now ready to mine, double click on "RunMe.bat" to start mining. If you want, you can create additional workers with usernames and passwords of your choice here

When you start your miner if you are getting a lot of rejected shares, double check you are using the correct mining algorithm (NeoScrypt)
