The default settings of the Arduino IDE are not optimal and do not adhere to system defaults under GNU/Linux, for example. A few adjustments make it easier to work with the development environment.

The Arduino IDE is quickly installed and can be used even better in "portable mode". Before you start, however, some settings should be optimised.

There are many advantages to installing the Arduino IDE in "portable mode". This logically separates the actual IDE from the personal settings, libraries and core architecture.

A normal Arduino IDE installation quickly overflows with additionally installed libraries, board definitions and other things. You can hardly find your way around in this chaos. A small trick ensures that the actual development environment and data for your own projects are cleanly separated from each other.

Those who want to mine the Duinocoin (DUCO) need software to program an Arduino UNO/Nano or an ESP8266/ESP32. The easiest way to do this is to use the free and open source Arduino IDE.

The easiest way to program mining software on a microcontroller is to use the Arduino IDE (development environment). The free and open source software is offered by the Arduino Project as a free download for Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X.

You mine the Duinocoin with special mining software. What software do you need for the different possible hardware platforms and where do you get this software? ".

Mining the Duinocoin is possible with different hardware and therefore also different software solutions. There are two basic components: a part that communicates with the pool servers, fetches jobs and sends back results, and a second part that processes the jobs with the DUCO-S1 algorithm.

Even though the mining of the Duinocoin takes place in software, it must of course run on hardware. What hardware can be used to mine DUCO?

The Duinocoin can not only be mined on an Arduino UNO/Nano. A PC, a notebook, a Raspberry Pi, a smartphone, a server, a Linux container (LXC) or a virtual machine (VM) and even an internet browser can serve as a basis. What is worthwhile, what is not?

A wallet is indispensable for the Duinocoin, because it stores your own Duinocoins (DUCO) and enables you to receive and send DUCO..

The Duinocoin wallet is available online on the Duinocoin server. Via an API (programming interface), the wallet can be accessed via own scripts and from applications. The Duinocoin software contains a Python3 script (Wallet.py), but it is not up-to-date.

The Duinocoin is an open-source, centralised and environmentally friendly cryptocurrency for microcontrollers and other low-power computers.

The Duinocoin (DUCO) was originally developed for the Arduino UNO. Its aim is to be a unique cryptocurrency for mining on low-power, low-cost microcontrollers and simple computers. A Raspberry Pi, an Arduino UNO or an ESP8266/ESP32 are all you need to start mining.

To understand a cryptocurrency, you should read its white paper - if it exists at all. For the Duinocoin (DUCO), its inventor has prepared an easy-to-read document.

The Duinocoin (DUCO) was specially developed for the Arduino UNO and uses a SHA1 chain. The Kolka system created by the DUCO developers themselves regulates the difficulty (dufficulty) to reward weak miners fairly. But how exactly does it work?
