So I started 13 miners on the PegNet TestNet.

We need to add some verification code to the miners, and a few other details, but otherwise anyone can mine on the TestNet. To do so, do these 10 things:

1. On Linux or on a virtual machine using Linux
2. Clone the OracleRecord repository https://github.com/pegnet/OracleRecord
3. Copy the defaultconfig.ini file from the OracleRecord repository to ~/.pegnet directory
4. Sign up for an API Key from https://currencylayer.com.
5. Replace the Oracle.APILayerKey key with your API Key
6. Edit the Miner.IdentityChain to add a unique name. The first field needs to remain "prototype" followed by your choice of name, like BigMiner. For example:
   1. IdentityChain=prototype,BigMiner
7. Right now you can donate to the cause, and leave the pPNT address alone. We will had a utility to generate your own PNT address from one of your FCT addresses in your wallet
8. Buy some Entry Credits and fund one of your EC addresses in your factom-walletd wallet
9. Download the pegnetMining image checked into the https://pegnet/PegNetDistribution repository, and a factomd and factom-walletd image from the Factom distribution repository https://github.com/FactomProject/distribution
10. Create a folder for your miner, cd to that folder, run the factomd daemon, the factom-walletd daemon, and the pegnetMinig.
