    Hey all,

    For those of us that use BAMT as a quick way to deploy fresh miner images I have a guide to add neoscrypt to an existing BAMT os.

    SETUP:

    First make sure the BAMT image supports neoscrypt (AMD catalyst 13.12 and older), I use Vertcoin BAMT.

    Next make sure you can unzip files and folders, use a shell to run: “apt-get install zip”, “apt-get install unzip”

    Download the neo miner zip file from: https://github.com/vehre/neo-gpuminer/archive/master.zip

    Open a shell and navigate to (“cd /home/user/Downloads”) downloads folder and run “unzip neo-gpuminer-master.zip”

    Now copy that unzipped folder into the miners folder at “/opt/miners” and change the name of the folder to “neo-gpuminer”

    INSTALLATION:

    run “cd /opt/miners/neo-gpuminer”

    run “./autogen.sh”

    run “make”

    run “make install” (optional)

    Now navigate to “/etc/bamt” and create a new conf file for neoscrypt called “neominer.conf”

    EXAMPLE CONF file:

    {
    “pools” : [
    {
    “url” : “stratum+tcp://stratum.wemineftc.com:3333”,
    “user” : “RIPPEDDRAGON.example”,
    “pass” : “x”
    }
    ]
    ,
    “intensity” : “14”,
    “vectors” : “1”,
    “worksize” : “32”,
    “gpu-engine” : “0-0”,
    “gpu-fan” : “0-85”,
    “gpu-memclock” : “0”,
    “gpu-memdiff” : “0”,
    “gpu-powertune” : “0”,
    “gpu-vddc” : “0.000”,
    “temp-cutoff” : “95”,
    “temp-overheat” : “85”,
    “temp-target” : “75”,
    “api-mcast-port” : “4028”,
    “api-port” : “4028”,
    “expiry” : “10”,
    “gpu-dyninterval” : “7”,
    “gpu-platform” : “0”,
    “gpu-threads” : “2”,
    “log” : “5”,
    “neoscrypt” : true,
    “no-pool-disable” : true,
    “queue” : “0”,
    “scan-time” : “2”,
    “temp-hysteresis” : “3”,
    “shares” : “0”,
    “kernel-path” : “/usr/local/bin”
    }

    Now that we have neoscrypt all set up its time to add it as an option to run with BAMT.

    Edit bamt.conf:

    add under CONFIG OPTIONS “cgminer_opts: --api-listen --config /etc/bamt/neominer.conf”

    add under MINER OPTIONS “# Cgminer 3.7.7b “neoscrypt””

    add under # !! Set all to 0 for cgminer. !! “miner-neoscrypt: 1” and set any other miners in use to 0

    The conf is finished now we need to add this new info into “common.pl” which is located in “/opt/bamt”

    Search for “$miner” you should find a section below of “if” statements

    Add this to the if statements:

    }elsif (${$conf}{‘settings’}{‘miner-neoscrypt’}) {

    $cmd = “cd /opt/miners/neo-gpuminer/; /usr/bin/screen -d -m -S cgminer /opt/miners/neo-gpuminer/cgminer $args”;

    $miner = “cgminer-neoscrypt”;

    }

      I have tested this with 1.5.2 and it didnt work but it works great with bamt 1.6
