It looks like it will be GPU focused mining and then change to Pos. So probably no asic mining. I will mine it at the start, though they are severely limiting mining rewards to 10% at the start. I set up a Ubuntu 64 machine and installed a current go and a c++ version versions of ethereum, so that I will hopefully have the best client for mining, as well as all needed dependencies.
I have no idea what to do with ethereum overall. I poked around the GUI client. It may as well be in Chinese, I could interpret the "mine" button, but not much else.
