What is Vivo ?
How to mine Vivo on a mining pool ?
1. You'll need a wallet address to receive the Vivo coins mined. It is better to download the wallet according to your Operating System. There is another crappy quick & dirty method that we don't recommend: create a wallet address on an exchange but some exchange diagree and may lost some coins.
Please refer to the Download section of the official bitcointalk thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2110690.0
2. You'll need a miner : for nVidia cards, you can download ccminer according to your Operating System:
CCminer 2.2.1 : https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases
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.
AMD cards ?
3. Create a launch file (*.bat file on windows) and launch it
3.1 Create a new launch file ("mine VIVO on unimining.bat" using notepad or notepad++ under windows) and paste the following command into it:
-a neoscrypt : set the algorithm
-o stratum+tcp://pool.unimining.net:4233 : set the mining pool URL and stratum port (4233 for neoscrypt algo)
-u VErHiL14qdKp95xPe9JP6wgGRssQXzuLjH : wallet address used as username. Please remove this example address and write your own address created at step 1
-p c=VIVO : 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=VIVO is used to force YiiMP to mine Vivo (VIVO is the symbol defined on the pool for Vivo) : 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=VIVO).. 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=VIVO,stats to set the coin as Vivo 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.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2110690.0VIVO is an advanced, decentralized and secure digital currency, an enhanced further development of Dash, featuring the Masternode technology, near-instant & secure payments, and superior anonymous transactions. With a fast block time of only 2 minutes, transactions will usually confirm and be successfully processed very quickly. VIVO's blockchain is encrypted using the advanced NeoScrypt Proof of Work algorithm. NeoScrypt is the newer, improved version of Scrypt. NeoScrypt is ASIC resistant and ensures a fair return on investment to all looking to mine the VIVO coin.
VIVO also puts greats value on the mining being ASIC resistant by utilizing the NeoScrypt Hashing Algorithm, the new and improved version of the popular Scrypt algorithm. VIVO has a very determined development team, an active and vibrant community and an ambitious roadmap.
