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.
