To mine skeincoins you need to use the internal miner built in qt-wallet. Currently there are no other miners because Skeincoin uses a new Proof of Work (POW) algorithm that is energy efficient and secure. The first round of hashing is done using Skein, the second using SHA256 (Skein-SHA2).
First you need to correctly setup the skeincoin.conf file:
rpcuser=myname
rpcpassword=mypassword
rpcport=21230
server=1
listen=1
maxconnections=200
addnode=162.243.69.185
addnode=146.185.129.70
Next steps: open the debug console and type setgenerate true -1 to start mining using all available CPU cores. You can check current difficulty by typing getmininginfo in the console.

You can use anything you want as username and password, just make sure you use the same credentials when starting external miner.
