    I too tried to translate the guide using Google Translate, but then I realized that Google translator is not perfect and messes up things.
    I guess, that's why we've got a friendly community of Translators here to get the job done. Thanks again !

    i finally managed to get it work and mining at 405mh/s with 750 ti, does "new block detected on network" mean that i just mined a block? how do i see the amount of 'test' decreds i have mined?

    Thanks for the guide. Everything went ok till getnewaddress. After dcrctl --testnet -u user -P pass --wallet getnewaddress /notls
    I get the following:
    Post http://localhost:19110: dial tcp [::1]:19110: connectex: No connection coul
    d be made because the target machine actively refused it.

    Try running STEP#4 AND STEP#6 in two different command windows. Then open the third command window and do,
    dcrctl --testnet -u user -P pass --wallet getnewaddress /notls

    I'd suggest just using the unix style parameters since it works on all OSes while / only works on Windows. Also, all flags really should go before the command.

    eg:

    dcrctl --testnet -u user -P pass --wallet --notls getnewaddress

    in dcrd you will see a line like this:

    13:58:54 2016-01-29 [INF] RPCS: Block submitted via getwork accepted: 000000000007c4663c83db60a62fec7b68f8e95e479db4297d87967882ef30bc

    in cgminer it will look like this:

    My public passphrase included an apostrophe and I believe that is why I am getting the same response as Larisa is getting. Earlier someone else noted that they had included special characters and that cause an issue for them, but they were able to find a workaround. Is there anything I can do to recover my wallet or should I just attempt to start over again and create a new wallet?

    @anondran i closed and reopened again and did step 4 and 6 but mining doesnt start.

    step 4 opened cmd and pasted: dcrd --testnet -u "my username" -P "my password" --notls
    step 6 opened another cmd and pasted: dcrwallet -u "my username" -P "my password" --dcrdusername="my username" --dcrdpassword="my password" --noclienttls --noservertls

    after pressing enter i only see a bunch of phrases and numbers on both command windows but no mining starts.

    Hey whis, this guide is for setting up the wallet. After Step 4 and Step 6, try adding commands from @sambiohazard guide in a different command window

    I pulled up the Github page and there doesn't seem tot be a source package available. I tried the downloading the tar.gz package but when I open it I find a 47 byte text file that reads: Placeholder to allow use of the issue tracker.

    Same with the zip file.

    Just get it here,
    ''If you use a 32 bit system, download windows-386-20160127-02.zip or if you use a 64 bit system download windows-amd64-20160127-02.zip.''

    (Both links work for me when im typing this)
