Miner
So you want to MINE ⏣SKC?
Before you get started, make sure you have a fully operational ⏣SKC wallet. The miner will not work without it.
First things first, you need to prepare your wallet for mining. Close the client and edit the seckcoin.conf file using your favorite text editor. Yes, even if it is nano.
- For Linux/OSX clients it is located: ~/.seckcoin.conf
- For Windows clients it is located: %appdata%/SecKCoin/seckcoin.conf
By default, your wallet has been configured NOT to accept RPC connections for security. The RPC connection opens up your wallet to be controlled by other programs, and we are going to need to configure it so that your miner software is able to get work from your wallet and deposit ⏣SKC.
Edit the seckcoin.conf file and find the following line (should be line 55)
You must set rpcuser and rpcpassword to secure the JSON-RPC api
Remove the # from the beginning of the next two lines, and change the password to something unique and totally secure, so that it looks something like this (but with a different password) and save it.
rpcuser=SECKC_rpc rpcpassword=SENDALLYOURCOINSTOMETHISISREALLYMYPASSWORD
Because by default only 127.0.0.1 can connect via RPC, this configuration should still be fairly security.UNLESS YOU REALLY (LIKE REALLY REALLY) understand what you are doing, do not add any rpcallowip=X.X.X.X addresses. This can (and likely will) lead to the theft of your ⏣SKC.
So, finally some good news. Any litecoin miner will work. Pick a good one that works on your platform, and run with it.

I personally recommend either:
Only because I have used both, and both have worked. No other reason than that. Go ahead and experiment and let us know what you prefer.
Settings you MIGHT need:
- Server 127.0.0.1:11337 (RPC port is 11337, unless you changed it in conf)
- username = SECKC_rpc
- pass = THAT YOU CHANGED RIGHT in your seckcoin.conf
oh it looks like pooler has a windows port too: (use poolers for now)
