[AMD & nVidia] How to mine Sigil (SGL) ?
What is Sigil?
How to mine Sigil on a mining pool ?
1. Create a wallet address
You'll need a wallet to receive the Sigil coins mined. It is better to download the official wallet according to your Operating System. There is another crappy quick and dirty method that we don't recommend: create a wallet address on an exchange but many exchange diagree and may lost some coins.
Please refer to the Download section of the official bitcointalk thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2710157.0
Or use the official github repository:
https://github.com/Sigil-Developer/Sigil
Nodes
You'll also find some nodes if you have problems to sync your wallet:

[nVidia] 2. Miner for nVidia cards (neoscrypt)
For nVidia cards, we suggest you to last version of CCminer : https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases
For GTX 1080/1080 Ti, ccminer will work but hashrate may be increased with https://github.com/alexis78/ccminer or https://github.com/KlausT/ccminer/releases
For AMD cards, see here below.
Remark: some anti-virus and anti-malware may detect the miner as a virus. It is due to the fact that miners were integrated in malwares and virusses so some anti-virus detect the miner as a potentially dangerous component. We use these binaries since years: we've never encounter problems because we avoid to download any binaries and always use the offial binary release on bitcointalk or github.
[nVidia] 3. Configure ccminer batch file and launch it
3.1 Create a new launch file ("mine SGL on unimining.bat" using notepad or notepad++ under windows) and paste the following command into it:
-a neoscrypt : set the algorithm
-o stratum+tcp://neoscrypt.eu1.unimining.net:4241 : set the mining pool URL and stratum port (4241 for neoscrypt algo dedicated to SGL)
-u SPdj5fpictqR61S4kA5QUmEmTighpY2tjU : wallet address used as username. Please remove this example address and write your own address created at step 1
-p c=SGL : optional (password) parameters. -p is used to give the password related to the username. As mining is anonymous, the password is used to pass optional arguments. c=SGL is used to force YiiMP to mine Sigil (SGL is the symbol defined on the pool for Sigil) : YiiMP should detect the crypto-currency mined according to the wallet address but as coins are forks of other coins (and some don't adapt address' code), it doesn't always work as expected. So we recommand to always set the coin with at least the optional parameter c (ex: c=SGL).. stats is used to perform a benchmark of your GPU (first GPU on multi-GPU) on the 50st share. To add several parameter, seperate them by commas, e.g. -p c=SGL,stats to set the coin as Sigil and perform benchmark
--cpu-priority=3 : parameter used to set the cpu priority.
3.2 Launch the *.bat file and check wallets' page after 5 to 10 minutes.
[AMD] 2. Miner for AMD cards (neoscrypt)
For AMD cards, you can download Gateless Gate according to your Operating System:
Gateless Gate: https://github.com/zawawawa/gatelessgate/releases/
Only windows binaries are provided, you can download the source code and compile it if your OS is not Windows.
I also updated my AMD graphic cards drivers to "Crimson ReLive Edition 17.10.1 10/10/2017" but I didn't install the ReLive part.
Other miner application such as NSGminer can be used with AMD hardware but we were not able to use it (due to a special hardware configuration):
https://github.com/ghostlander/nsgminer/releases
[AMD] 3. Configure Gateless Gate config and batch files and launch it
3.1 Create a new launch file ("mine SGL on unimining.bat" using notepad or notepad++ under windows) and paste the following command into it:
"algorithm": "neoscrypt" : set the algorithm
"quota": "99;stratum+tcp://neoscrypt.eu1.unimining.net:4241" : set the mining pool URL and stratum port (4233 for neoscrypt algo)
"user": "SPdj5fpictqR61S4kA5QUmEmTighpY2tjU" : wallet address used as username. Please remove this example address and write your own address created at step 1
"pass": "c=SGL" : optional (password) parameters. "pass" is used to give the password related to the username. As mining is anonymous, the password is used to pass optional arguments. c=SGL is used to force YiiMP to mine Sigil (SGL is the symbol defined on the pool for Sigil) : YiiMP should detect the crypto-currency mined according to the wallet address but as coins are forks of other coins (and some don't adapt address' code), it doesn't always work as expected.

To add several parameter, seperate them by commas, e.g. -p c=SGL,stats to set the coin as Sigil and perform benchmark (remark: stats should work with yiimp but I didn't test it with Gatelessgate).
Remark: Both files should be inside the directory of Gatelessgate.
3.3. Launch the *.bat file and check wallets' page after 5 to 10 minutes.

P2P Port: 39654, RPC Port: 39655
Features:
Orbitcoin Super Shield
Advanced Checkpointing
Time Warp/Instamining Protection
Very Low Transaction Fees
Quick Transactions
Sigil is a new and revolutionary cryptocurrency that embodies the twin ideals of security and efficiency. It incorporates the best features of both Proof of Work and Proof of Stake mining, supports multiple algorithms, and achieves enhanced security through its implementation of advanced checkpointing and retargeting throughout.
The Sigil team is developing the next generation of crowdfunding technology through the blockchain. Our goal is to provide a more efficient, transparent, and secure crowdfunding platform without taking any fees whatsoever, instead using Sigil to fund the venture. We believe we can empower the individual specifically with this platform, as it will be beneficial for all parties involved. Consumers will be allowed to retain a greater portion of any funds they raise and any transaction intended for them will be ensured through the use of the blockchain.
Sigil currently is specified to only have 50,000,000 total coins. Of those, we took a premine of 5% to cover managerial and other issues relevant to the growth and development of the coin long-term as we believe to be necessary. Here’s the complete breakdown of the premine allocation:
40 % (1,000,000 SGL) -------------> Marketing
20 % (500,000 SGL) -------------> Developers / Founders
20 % (500,000 SGL) -------------> Bounty Program
10 % (250,000 SGL) -------------> Research / Development
10 % (250,000 SGL) -------------> Legal
As you can see, we put aside 500,000 SGL (20% of the Premine) for an extensive bounty campaign. You can find the breakdown listed below and the complete details in the official Bounty Campaign Guide: www.sigilplatform.com/sigil-bounty.pdf
Twitter: 20% (100,000 SGL) – Earnings: 10 – 200 SGL weekly
Reddit: 20% (100,000 SGL) – Earnings: 0 – 1000 SGL per quality post
Blog/Medium: 20% (100,000 SGL) – Earnings: 0 – 1500 SGL per quality article
YouTube: 15% (75,000 SGL) – Earnings: 0 – 2000 SGL per quality video
Translations: 15% (75,000 SGL) – Earnings: 0 – 2000 SGL for a quality thread
Slack: 5% (25,000 SGL) – Earnings: 25 SGL on account creation/signup
Giveaways: 5% (25,000 SGL) – Earnings: Varies, depending on the giveaway
