          @wrapper wasn’t too sure where would be best for it but thought this is where new members would look first. Feel free to move it though :)

                It’s a good idea. I’ve pinned a few other specifically FAQ / newbie help before.

                I’ll pin it in Newbies for the moment.

                  A section reminding people to exempt their mining program from their antivirus software scans might be a good thing. Plus it’s something where it’ll work for a while and then suddenly stops working for no apparent reason, which can be very confusing for people.

                    So I am a newbie of sorts. I have a rig that I friend built for me a couple years ago. I was mining LTC with cgminer on give-me-coins. The rigs hard drive crashed and he cloned me a hard drive but it never really worked again. I understand GPU is no longer viable. So I am here following the newbie guide and have downloaded the software and created the bat file.

                    here
                    setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
                    setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
                    nsgminer.exe --neoscrypt -g 1 -w 64 -I 15 -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -u Digging4Gold223.user -p x (or the miner password I created)

                    If I remember correctly I just open the batch file and the nsgminer should run. I must be doing something wrong because I either get a blank windows cmd screen or I get a must specify pool URL

                    Any help would be appreciated

                      Looking at the help, do you have to specify neoscrypt? https://github.com/ghostlander/nsgminer

                      nsgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password -I d,9,9,9

                        Hi, can anyone help please. I purchased a few thousand feather coins a few year ago. I put them onto a USB stick, for safe keeping.My computer went kaput, and now I am trying to upload from my USB stick to an Android 16gb tablet. Problem is the file manager won’t allow this saying file is too large. Would really appreciate help here…thanks, Alan

                              Was that enough help? that you need a computer and the wallet.dat off the USB (should be small) contains your FTC keys?

                                    Just copy your backup into %appdata% Feathercoin and replace there the wallet.dat - start up the feathercoin-qt application and log in …

                                    I don’t use windows tho’

                                          I don’t use windows any more, but isn’t it in users, under your user name? You’ll need to let the wallet sync (past where you bought the coins) to see them. and copy in your wallet.dat.

                                            @wrapper Hi wrapper, no button for …users… Strange no feathercoin address came with download, but maybe I’ll have to wait for it to sync. Although it has over 4 years to go, and my internet connection here in France is very slow…regards, Alan
