System Requirements

===================

MPBM requires Python >= 2.6, most testing is done with Python 3.2.

The default user interface module uses the python curses module. Most Linux distributions

should have a package for this. Unofficial Windows curses modules are available here:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses

Miner backend modules might use interface modules like PyUSB or PySerial as well.

Getting started

===============

1. Install the required prerequisites (see System Requirements above)

2. Run the following command in the mpbm directory: python run-mpbm.py

3. Connect to http://localhost:8832 with your favorite web browser

4. Login with user name "admin" and password "mpbm"

5. Go to "Frontends", "WebUI" and change the default login credentials

6. Customize workers and work sources if neccessary

Customizing

===========

If you don't want to use one of the already supported mining workers,

you will have to write your own worker module. Just duplicate e.g.

the modules/theseven/simplers232 tree and adapt it to fit your needs.

Things are mostly straightforward and that file has more comments than code,

but if you run into trouble or didn't understand some details, feel free to contact

TheSeven (or [7]) on irc.freenode.net. I'll try to help if I have time.

Offering some bitcoins might encourage me to not be lazy :)
