BLC Blakecoin configuration file – edit blakecoin.conf in data directory:
listen=1
gen=0
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=8772
server=1
daemon=1
addnode=162.243.133.80
addnode=162.243.14.130
addnode=146.185.135.24
addnode=184.171.247.23
minerd command example:
minerd -o 127.0.0.1:8772 -O username:password -a blake -q -s 2 –no-longpoll –no-stratum
You can set gen to 1 or use the command: setgenerate true if you wanted to use build in mining(bit slower than minerd).

Ive been looking at this with interest. Can you tell me what -a flag is for as I cant get minerd to work with this flag -a

-a sets which algorith use to hash. You should use a dedicated miner for blake coin, see the official site of blakecoin for details
