BTCQ Core — Windows
====================

Install: run the .exe installer.  On first run the installer seeds
%LOCALAPPDATA%\BTCQ\btcq.conf with everything needed for both wallet
and mining: testnet=1 (mainnet is not yet launched), server=1, the
three BTCQ federation peers as addnodes, and an auto-generated
rpcuser/rpcpassword pair.
Launch: Start Menu → BTCQ → BTCQ Core.

Mining
------
The miner connects to your local node via RPC.  Credentials are
already in btcq.conf — open BTCQ Core → Settings → Connection Info
to copy rpcuser/rpcpassword into your miner config.

The miner is a separate download:

your RPC password.  A restart is required for changes to take effect.
