After downloading you need to extract the .zip file. You can do this by opening it and moving the contents to your desktop.
5
Open the Arduino Code. Inside the release you just extracted there's a folder named Arduino_Code, in which you'll find 
Arduino_Code.ino - double clicking should open it with Arduino IDE.
Select your board model in Tools Board and the COM port in Tools Port. No need to change anything else - just click the "" upload button and wait until it finishes, then close Arduino IDE.
4
Time to set up the miner program! Locate the 
AVR Miner and launch it. From now on - answer it's questions to go through the configuration phase. When the miner asks for a COM port - simply enter the same one you uploaded your code to.
Working miner will report some mining statistics with each solved job (share) - you get rewarded for each accepted one that contributes to the Duino network.
Number of accepted/rejected shares and the percentage of correct ones (100% in the image) is displayed after the Accepted text.
The number in seconds tells how much time it took to solve that share - the lower, the better.
Prefixed value in H/s tells the minings speed - the higher the hashrate, the better.
Diff number is the mining difficulty - the higher it is, the harder it's to mine; it's automatically adjusted by the Kolka system depending on the device you're using.
Value in milliseconds is the network latency - if it's too high, your earnings may be negatively impacted.
You can inspect your miner remotely in the wallet. It should display your miner in the Your miners section.

One question first!
What system does your smartphone run?
Android
Use the Fatorius' Miner app
Other
Use the Web Miner
One question first!
What will be your host device?
Arduino boards do not have Wi-Fi, so they need a host device that will connect to the Duino-Coin server and communicate for them.
PC
Windows, Linux or macOS
Raspberry Pi
Zero, 1...5 (incl. relatives - e.g. Orange Pi)
Beep-beep boop-boop, android here!
For mining on Android smartphones you can use the Fatorius' DuinoCoinMiner app. This app is still in development, so expect some bugs and remember to send feedback to the creator.
1 Download and install the app on your smartphone.
2 Enter your username, mining key and start mining - simple as that. If you want, you can change the mining intensity and the amount of mining threads, but it's best to leave them at defaults if you don't know what you're doing.
3 Miner will report current hashrate (mining speed) - the higher the hashrate, the better. If you've entered everything correctly, you should see your device appear in the Wallet after a minute or two.

arDuino mining with Raspberry help!
Mining with Arduino boards is the recommended way of mining Duino-Coin. Arduinos get the highest rewards and lowest mining difficulty, although they require a host device.
1 First up, let's install Arduino IDE on your PC (we'll use the Raspberry Pi later). Using this program we can upload codes to many types of microcontrollers (AVRs). You can use the button below or visit Arduino.cc yourself.
Please install the software by following the installer instructions and continue to the next step.
2 Download the newest Duino-Coin release containing the Arduino code.
Open the Arduino Code. Inside the release you just extracted there's a folder named Arduino_Code, in which you'll find Arduino_Code.ino - double clicking should open it with Arduino IDE.
Select your board model in Tools Board and the COM port in Tools Port. No need to change anything else - just click the "" upload button and wait until it finishes, then close Arduino IDE.
3 Now let's move to your Raspberry Pi. We assume you have already installed a system on it (we recommend Raspbian) and connected it to the internet, if not - please see this tutorial first.
Locate and launch the Terminal app on your Raspberry Pi - it should be in the Accessories tab in the main menu.
First up, let's update your packages - copy & paste these commands (and execute them by clicking the enter key), one by one:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Next, install python and git:
sudo apt install python3 python3-dev python3-pip git
4
Now we'll clone the duino-coin repository:
git clone https://github.com/revoxhere/duino-coin
Navigate to the duino-coin directory:
cd duino-coin
Connect your Arduino to the Raspberry Pi using an USB cable if you haven't already and launch the AVR Miner:
python3 AVR_Miner.py
At first, the miner will (attempt to) automatically install required dependencies via pip. If it fails, you'll need to do it manually using the command it will show.
In the newest Python versions it may be impossible to install dependencies due to PIP's policy. To restore the bevahior from previous versions, use these commands:
mkdir ~/.config, then mkdir ~/.config/pip and finally
echo -e "[global]\nbreak-system-packages=true" > ~/.config/pip/pip.conf
After executing these commands, launch the Miner again.
When starting it for the first time answer it's questions to go through the configuration phase. Note that serial ports on linux are named /dev/ttyUSB* or /dev/ttyACM* (unlike COM* in Windows).
Working miner will report some mining statistics with each solved job (share) - you get rewarded for each accepted one that contributes to the Duino network.
Number of accepted/rejected shares and the percentage of correct ones (100% in the image) is displayed after the Accepted text.
The number in seconds tells how much time it took to solve that share - the lower, the better.
Prefixed value in H/s tells the minings speed - the higher the hashrate, the better.
Diff number is the mining difficulty - the higher it is, the harder it's to mine; it's automatically adjusted by the Kolka system depending on the device you're using.
Value in milliseconds is the network latency - if it's too high, your earnings may be negatively impacted.
You can inspect your miner remotely in the wallet. It should display your miner in the Your miners section.

Let's do it the Apple way!
Mac support for Duino is quite experimental for now. The instructions below may not be fully descriptive as none of the Duino-Coin developers owns a macOS machine to confirm them.
1
To start, you'll need to install Homebrew to later get the latest version of Python.
Open the Terminal app and copy-paste the following command into it:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
(then execute it by clicking the enter key on your keyboard).
The script will explain what changes it will make and prompt you before the installation begins.
2
Next up we have to install Python 3. This can be done using Homebrew you installed earlier - execute this command in the terminal:
brew install python
We'll also install wget to easily download Duino-Coin files:
brew install wget
3 Now the steps are similar to installing Duino on Linux. Firstly download the source code version of latest release. If you prefer, you can download it from our GitHub.
To download the latest source you can use the following command:
wget https://github.com/revoxhere/duino-coin/archive/refs/tags/4.0.zip

Gotcha, let's try our web miner then!
Basics of the Web Miner
We have an online miner that runs on any device and is designed for users that can't (or don't want to) install anything on their devices. The mining process in a web miner happens in your web browser using JavaScript.
The webminer is a part of the webservices bundle - you can always find it on server.duinocoin.com
Since you didn't connect your Duino account, you need to set up the web miner yourself. No worries though - it's just a few input boxes.
Below are the instructions on getting started with the Duino-Coin Web Miner.
1 To start, open the web miner. You should see fields asking for your username, mining threads, miner name and your mining key. Fill in the username field with yours and do the same with mining key if you use one.
Please note that the mining key is not your password. It's a separate passphrase that you set during registration (or set in the wallet).
2 If you want, you can enter a custom number of mining threads (cores) to launch and a custom miner name to get it nicely-identified in your wallet. Leaving these two fields blank will use recommended/default values.
Since you have connected your Duino account, here's a ready-to-use link to open and start the web miner directly on your account with recommended settings:
https://server.duinocoin.com/webminer.html
Working miner will display your total hashrate (total calculations per second) on a gauge on the left. The higher the hashrate - the better.
Hashrate varies from device to device and is mostly determined by the CPU (processor) used in the device. The number of threads (and used web browser in this case) can also affect it.
The Statistics box shows some miscellaneous info about the mining process - Accepted shares tells you how many correct calculations have been made by your device. Node indicates the server you're connected to (to get the calculation tasks from). Latency measures the network delays - if they're very high your profits may be negatively affected.
Profits from the web miner will be almost instantly visible in your wallet - your device gets rewarded for each solved job. You can monitor it's status in the Your miners box.
To stop mining - simply close the browser tab.

We've got something ideal for you!
Basics of the Mini Miner
The Mini Miner was designed to be a bare-minimum, stripped-down version of the Web Miner. It uses only older technology (like HTML4) and basic (or polyfilled) JavaScript for maximum compatibility (really - you can run it on a 14 year old phone or Nintendo DS).
1
To start, you need to connect your device to the internet.
On feature phones that may require you to insert a SIM card to get internet access.
Newer devices may have Wi-Fi capabilities making things a lot easier.
In short, try to get your device online - refer to the manufacturer's manual if you need specific help.
2 Next up you have to locate a web browser on your device. Sometimes it's just called Browser, other times it may be branded e.g. Samsung Internet or Google.
3 Now the easy part - open the web browser and navigate to one of these URLs (enter them in the address/search bar):
-
👉 If your device is older, navigate to
http://51.15.127.80/miniminer.html -
👉 If your device is a bit newer and supports HTTPS, head straight to
https://server.duinocoin.com/miniminer.html
Bonus part! Since you connected your account to this page, here are to use URLs to start mining directly on your username with your mining key. You can use it if you don't want to input that data via input boxes.
-
👉 HTTP:
http://51.15.127.80/miniminer.html -
👉 HTTPS:
https://server.duinocoin.com/miniminer.html
4
Using the Mini Miner is straightforward. As it's intended to be as bare-bones as possible for maximum compatibility, there are only two fields you need to fill out - your username and mining key (if you use one).
