How to mine crypto coins (Dogecoins in this case) on testnet locally? Do this

* Recommended: Create a new data diretory
* Create the config file in that directory:

      test=1
      testnet=1
      daemon=1
      server=1
      addnode=testnets.chain.so
      addnode=suchdig.com
      addnode=testdoge.lionservers.de
      addnode=senatorwhiskers.com
      rpcuser=dogecoinrpc
      rpcpassword=<password>
      rpcallowip=192.168.178.0/24
      rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
      rpcallowip=192.168.178.22

* Start the wallet (set -datadir)
* wait for sync
* Start the miner, or run the waller with the -gen option
* If using a miner, connect via http://yourip:port/ and enter user credentials (-u / -p in miner)
