Yes, welcome to the newbie holding cell.

I'm trying to get a miner going using Inaba's guide.
I think I have everything right except I get an error when I try to connect to a pool.
I was going to ask for help on the thread but am stuck here for a while.

I've been a Windows user much too long and need to learn Linux.
Maybe someone here could tell me what I need to know.
When I enter ./poclbm.py -d1 --host=de.btcguild.com --port=8332 --user=

syntax is:
./poclbm.py -d 0 -u YOUR_USERNAME --pass=YOUR_PASSWORD -o de.btcguild.com -p 8332

-d is device number, for me it's 0=GPU, 1=CPU
if you leave this out poclbm will show you what devices it can use
(but if you want to do CPU mining you should use another miner for that)

Needed to log two more hours before I could ask for help in the thread I'm working from and the damned power goes out!
Back now though. Just pacing back and forth for another two slow hours. I hope I can get a solution before I have to pass out tonight.
There must be a good reason for this holding cell but it's just agonizing!

Thanks 1MLyg5WVFSMifFjkrZiyGW2nw (please don't expect me to pronounce that)

Tried it your way and it didn't like -u. I also tried --u, -user, --user, -u=, --user=....well, you get the idea. "no such option:"
I would think that what BTC Guild shows on their website would be the correct syntax.

As for the device number, My machine lists the CPU as 0 and the GPUs as 1 and 2

Thanks for trying to help
