Shminguscoin is a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, although it does not use SHA256 as its proof of work (POW). Taking development cues from Dogecoin and Litecoin, Shminguscoin currently employs a simplified variant of scrypt.
To start your journey with Shminguscoin Core, see the installation guide and the getting started tutorial.
The JSON-RPC API provided by Shminguscoin Core is self-documenting and can be browsed with shminguscoin-cli help

Shminguscoin uses a simplified variant of the scrypt key derivation function as its proof of work with a target time of one minute per block and difficulty readjustment after every block. The block rewards are fixed and halve every 210,000 blocks. To get Shminguscoin, you have to use a Scrypt miner and follow the instructions on https://shming.us/mining
The solid best way is to mine. You can use any guide and miner that supports scrypt coins like Dogecoin, Litecoin, etc.
