I followed the "HowToMineBitcoinV" guide for mining on W10 x64 machine but i get the following:

 [2019-03-05 10:59:32] Started bfgminer 5.4.2
 [2019-03-05 10:59:32] Probing for an alive pool
 [2019-03-05 10:59:37] Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid
 [2019-03-05 10:59:37] No servers were found that could be used to get work from.
 [2019-03-05 10:59:37] Please check the details from the list below of the servers you have input
 [2019-03-05 10:59:37] Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or have not ses
 [2019-03-05 10:59:37] Pool: 0  URL: http://localhost:8332  User: user  Password: pass
 [2019-03-05 10:59:37] Press any key to exit, or BFGMiner will try again in 15s.

All good now, the pdf has an error. It should be port 9332 not 8332
