First of all, thanks for the update!

I’m aware it’s experimental. But is it supposed to show how many blocks a day one should mine?

If yes, in my experience the blockrate is far far below the chains/day rate.

Cheers,
Muto

Mining PPC is the same as mining BTC. You just need a PPC mining pool. (solo mining not recommended)

Cgminer and bfgminer worked with icarus in the past, but I don’t know, if the latest version still supports it.
There are a lot of mining guides for your hardware on the net.
