I am going to put together this short guide, sources are from bitcointalk forum and xdag.me

XDAG aka Dagger

Dagger (XDAG) is a new cryptocurrency that doesn't use a blockchain instead use DAG, like OTA.

- Directed acyclic graph (DAG), not blockchain
- Block = transaction = address
- Mineable, no premine, no ICO
- New money generates every 64 seconds
- Simple original C realization, its not a clone of another soft
- Double sha256 hash, ECDSA cryptography (openssl)
- CPU mining at present time, GPU mining in the future, bitcoin asics are not suitable

The main net was launched January 5, 2018.

First you need a wallet which you can download at:
http://xdag.me/downloads.html

First, download the archive and unpack it into some folder. Current version is T13.865 (2018-01-30).

CPU MINING

Next, you need to be connected to a pool. Known pools (pool fee - reward for miner - reward for direct contributions):

148.251.139.197:443 (1%-5%-2%; Netherlands; https://xdag.poolaroid.com/)
139.99.124.121:8899 (1%-1%-1%; Singapore-proxy-China; http://xdag.top)
45.77.35.21:8899 (1%-1%-1%; Singapore-proxy-China; http://xdag.top)
66.11.125.30:777 (1%-17%-77%; US, Houston; http://xdag.pool.ga/stats.txt)
52.191.198.174:13654 (0.5%-12%-6%; US, Virginia; http://52.191.198.174/)
62.210.130.205:13655 (1%-7%-7%; France; http://lucky7pool.hopto.org/)
139.99.101.187:13654 (1%-1%-1%; Singapore; http://139.99.101.187/stats)
120.79.95.7:12564 (0.5%-10%-10%; China; http://120.79.95.7:12565/)
95.105.233.208:13654 (0.5%-12%-10%; Slovakia; https://xdagpool.com/)
24.234.35.55:31333 (0.5%-2%-7%; US, Las Vegas)
77.55.222.85:443    (1%-1%-1%; Poland; http://www.corpopool.com)
195.24.64.107:443       (1%-1%-1%; Russia)
213.168.251.23:13654 (1%-5%-10%; UK; http://xdag.me/stats.txt)
47.93.223.203:13654    (1%-5%-10%; China)
172.105.216.53:3355    (1%-6%-8%; Japan)
54.37.158.221:13654 (1%-5%-10%; France; https://xdag.rubencm.net/pool)
109.90.229.170:35585 (1%-1%-1%; Germany; http://themaxx2k.hopto.org)
45.63.58.16:13654    (1%-5%-10%; US, Los Angeles)
199.16.31.96:3355    (1%-1%-1%; US, Rochester)

Then, for GUI version simply run it, type pool:ip, the number of mining threads and click Go!
For console one run the console, cd to the folder where the archive is unpacked and run the miner with 1 CPU thread: c:\Users\yourname> cd win64exe

c:\Users\yourname\win64exe> xdag.exe -m 1 pool:port
Set password: [type]
Enter random symbols: [enter]
Generating keys... OK
xdag> state
[see if you connected to the pool]
xdag> balance
[see your balance]
xdag> account
[see your address]
xdag> xfer [amount] [address]
[transfer money to another address]

Guidelines:
1) don't close the console;
2) keep your system time aligned with GMT;
3) if you want run a pool instead of miner, run the program without parameters and see the help.

Note: the program uses libraries (openssl, pthread) prebuilt by another people, see authors and licences in the source rar archive.

GPU MINING

First beta-version of GPU miner is released.
Link to download https://github.com/jonano614/DaggerGpuMiner/releases
Source codes https://github.com/jonano614/DaggerGpuMiner

GPU-miner is based on OpenCL. You need to have your account address and storage folder to use it. Most of modern video cards is applicable. Current implementation is not optimized, probably hashrate can be increased in about 80% further.

Also miner supports CPU-mining. But current implementation is slower than official wallet (v845+).
Currently only Windows is supported. Version for Linux is in development. If somebody wants to make version for Mac OS - you can write me.

How to use: unpack archive to a folder. Copy storage folder to the folder with miner. Create .bat file with necessary launch parameters. Use it.

Launch parameters:
1) GPU benchmark: DaggerGpuMiner.exe -G -M
2) GPU mining: DaggerGpuMiner.exe -G -a <WALLET_ADDRESS> -p <POOL_ADDRESS>
3) CPU mining: DaggerGpuMiner.exe -cpu -a <WALLET_ADDRESS> -p <POOL_ADDRESS> -t N (N - is a number of threads)

Different features and optional parametes:
1) "-h" - show help
2) you can list all available devices using parameters "-list-devices -G"
3) by default GPU mining is performed only on the first OpenCL device. You can specify several devices using parameter "-opencl-devices 0 1 3". Use your device numbers instead of "0 1 3". Also use can use parameter "-d " there is count of used devices. This can be integrated Intel HD Graphics if it supports openCL!
