I'm new to Primeminer and couldn't find a tutorial on how to set it up. I have downloaded the Primeminer software and it seems to consist of only two files:
.bat file.exe file.Is that all there is?
Is primeminer universal for all cpu mining coins?
If you run primeminer and it connects to some pool, would the pool then send data back to your miner app, in order to crunch the data and send it back?
