1. Create a account on AikaPool
---------------
2. Download a miner.
For Intel/ATI/AMD download CGMiner
For NVidia download CudaMiner
For CPU mining download Minerd.

3. Configure your miner.
If your using Linux, Then type the following into the console:
CGMiner:
./cgminer --scrypt -I 13 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.aikapool.com:7975 -u UserName.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword
BFGMiner:
./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.aikapool.com:7975 -u UserName.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword
If you want to mine on Windows, then you'll need to create a batch file to start your miner.
Simply open notepad and then copy and paste the following:
CGMiner:
cgminer --scrypt -I 13 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.aikapool.com:7975 -u UserName.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword
BFGMiner:
bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.aikapool.com:7975 -u UserName.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword
MinerD:
minerd -a --scrypt -t 6 -s 4 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.aikapool.com:7975 -u UserName.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword
Cudaminer For NVIDIA Cards:
cudaminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.aikapool.com:7975 -u UserName.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword
You then need to change "-u UserName.Worker -p Worker password" to reflect your own account. Eg, "-u Steve.StevesWorker -p StevesWorkerPassword".
Then go to "File > Save as" and save the file as "RunMe.bat" in the same folder containing your miners application files.
You are now ready to mine, double click on "RunMe.bat" to start mining.

4. Advanced CGMiner settings
Scrypt readme
Don't set intensity too high, I=11 is standard and safest. Higher intensity takes more GPU RAM. Check for hardware errors in CGMiner (HW). HW=0 is good, otherwise lower intensity.
Set shaders according to the readme (or look at your graphic cards specifications). CGMiner uses this value at first run to calculate thread-concurrency.
