Note: This course is not intended for those that are unfamiliar with cryptocurrency mining and blockchain technology, those with little computer experience, or those wanting to learn how to invest in cryptocurrencies. If you are looking for courses on how to mine, or on cryptocurrency investments, you should locate other courses as this course will not cover this material.
You should be familiar with the Linux command line and have advanced Linux skills. Even though there is active support for the course, you are expected to know how to troubleshoot yourself by looking in logs, etc, before you request help. Remember – this is an advanced course and it will be difficult for you if you are not already experienced in Linux.
Also note that Yiimp is for coins based on Bitcoin code and is does not support all algorithms that every alt coin may use.
