In my experience I was able to use a Remote Node and (the third one in the list) and it synced right away. Your results may vary depending on network conditions.

The first sync of the wallet will take a while. it's normal. You can already get your wallet address, while it syncs.
Get your LOKI Address by going to the Receive tab, then click on Request Payment and Copy Address. You will need this Address for miner configuration.

How to Use Xmr-stak or Cryptodredge to mine LOKI on PiMP OS:

Run pimpup and update pimpup and/or pimp software if prompted.
Press enter to go to the miners menu.

Select Xmr-stak or Cryptodredge from the list by typing its number.

You would type the number of the miners to update and hit enter.

Update miner? Y/n Press enter.
It will say ** SUCCESS ** New miner installed, binary is /opt/miners/whatever
Press q and then Enter to quit.
If you want to see all miners you can see it in the list with pimp --add.
pimp --add 3201 (or 2701) to add the miner.

2701 (nvid) cryptodredge: cryptonights/lyra2v2/phi/more [cryptodredge.pcfg]
OR
3201 (cpu/amd/nvid) xmrstak: cryptonight [xmrstak.pcfg]

Example it will say miner added, and you can test it with pimp --test X where X is the number of the miner.

pimp --test 3 (or whatever number it added) to test it. After a moment you will see the miner screen.

If it is mining, close the miner with Control-C.

pimp --edit 3 (or whatever number it added) to edit the config file.

Pick the pool / wallet of your choice. use # to block the lines that you do not want, and remove the # from the lines you do want. # means ignore (in a pcfg file.)
Double check the FLAGS= part near the bottom of the file to make sure you have the correct parameters there! Example: --currency loki is needed for xmrstak. Cryptodredge sets the algorithm correctly using the ALGO1= line near the pool/wallet settings.

If your miner was still running, it will ask you to restart. Otherwise, use pimp --test 3 again to start mining again and connect to the miner screen. make sure it shows that it is mining.

Once you have at least 1-2 accepted shares, Double check on miner.farm farm view and on your pool side to make sure you are sending hashes to the correct place.
