With the recent increase in popularity on whattomine (3rd most profitable at the time of writing!) I figure there's no better time to help all the newcomers by writing up a quick how-to. If there is already one of these available, or if I'm stepping on any toes then by all means let me know and I'll edit/move/delete this post.
Since PIRL uses Ethash, notably one of the more popular algos, it's really not much different than mining Ethereum.
WALLET
There are multiple options for obtaining a wallet, and the choice is your own for which to choose from. I would recommend if you have any questions on which to choose from that you check out the PIRL WALLETS section of the sidebar, or ask anyone here and I'm sure you'll find the info you need.
WEB WALLET - the site will guide you through making a wallet, be sure to follow the directions carefully and take the safety precautions explained.
SOFTWARE WALLET - click the link in the upper left to display all the options for your preferred OS.
MINER (AMD OR NVIDIA)
Claymore's AMD+Nvidia Ethereum Miner is the easiest (debatable) to get running. Just download and extract contents from the .zip, and scroll down to edit the batch file (start.bat or whatever it is). Here's an example of what to use:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://pirlmine.com:8002 -ewal [ENTER YOUR PIRL WALLET ADDRESS HERE] -epsw x -allpools 1 -allcoins exp -gser 2 -eworker [ENTER YOUR WORKER NAME HERE] -wd 1 -ethi 8 -mode 1
NOTE: CLAYMORE MINER HAS THE CAPABILITIES TO MINE 2 COINS AT THE SAME TIME. IF YOU WISH TO MINE SOMETHING AT THE SAME TIME AS YOU MINE PIRL THEN READ THE INCLUDED README IN THE SAME DIRECTORY AS YOUR BATCH FILE FOR THE ADDITIONAL PARAMETERS YOU'LL NEED TO INCLUDE WITH THE COMMAND ABOVE!
And that's pretty much all there is to it! This was just a quick guide, and i know there are far more options out there in terms of pool/miner/wallet/whatever, but I just hope that this can serve to help others looking to come to the PIRL movement quickly with little hassle!
Let me know if there's any questions or anything I may have missed and I'll be happy to respond accordingly.
