Hopefully this will help you get started before price starts to go high again AKA moon. *** - First you need to download the chain coin wallet. Pick your correct OS im running win10 64-bit http://www.chaincoin.org/chaincoin-wallet/ It will look like this after you download and install:

**IF ITS YOUR FIRST TIME DOWNLOADING THE WALLET IT WILL TAKE A FEW HOURS FOR IT TO SYNC WITH THE SERVER, SO JUST WAIT TO START MINING UNTIL THATS DONE* *** *** - Then you will need to go to this link and download the application to run the mine https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases - Next you need to unzip this file. If you do not have a program for that, go here and download this one: http://www.7-zip.org/ - Install the 7 zip program and then you can right click on the ccminer file > 7-zip > Extract Files > Extract to a folder you make on your desktop or where ever. - Next go into the folder you extracted the ccminer file to and find RUN-BTX-yiimp. Right click that file and click EDIT. Change everything so it looks just like this photo. Make sure you enter your wallet address and not mine though (unless you want to send me coins ; )

*YOU HAVE TO EXTRACT THE ORIGINAL FILE INTO A FOLDER OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET AN ERROR IF YOU JUST OPEN THE CCMINER FILE AND TRY TO DO IT FROM THERE* *** *** - Now all you have to do is go into the folder you created from extracting the CCMINER file and click on the ccminer-x64 application and it will start running **THIS WILL MAKE YOUR COMPUTER RUN EXTREMELY SLOW DUE TO USING YOUR GPU TO MINE*

*** - A screen like this will pop up and go through some checks and your ready to go!
