This is my second intro. I am X-Spanded I still think bitcoins are great idea, and I understand the limitations of my notebook. On Wednesday I am looking forward to buying a brand new computer or laptop and I will greately appreciate any help I can get what-so-ever. I am willing to help those in need, and remember XSpand your mind and free yourself, by making it possible to ask for help, you are rewriting what you can't do.

whether it is XML or PHP Notepad++ can handle it also python and MS-dos style  Smiley I am very impressed with what notepad++ can do and if anyone deserves a donation it's the guy that designed it.

I know a lot bit more than I did since my last post.
I decided to start over from the beginning this is what I did
downloaded cpuminer-installer-1.0.2.zip
I have 7zip so I used that to extract the files into a bitcoin folder in my program files
I have bitcoin installed and I installed a wallet
I then downloaded bitcoin-rpcminer-20110227-win32bin.zip and using 7zip I extracted the files into my bitcoin folder.

The interesting thing is in my c: drive I have a new folder called cpu-miner I extracted all the files from cpu-miner.exe and opened all the files using notepad++ and the only file that I assume I should be editing is .bss
because it is blank. I hope I found the configuration file for cpu-miner so when I run minderd it will mine bitcoins for me and not the programmer.

Also rpcminer-cpu and rpcminer-4way show a return value of 7 but arent set up. I will repay anyone who helps me figure out this.

I know that in notepad++ I need to define XML DOM elements and use hashtags to run said programs. I need help with a place to start.

I couldn't find any XML DOM samples that related to anything important and it's way more difficult than html. Shorter post I hope you read the whole thing. Thank you very much info@X-Spanded.com

I only read half of your post, but:

Mining with a CPU is not worth it. Mining with a Compaq Presario V2000 is almost impossible.

Your laptop CPU is too slow and you will probably never earn anything (not even bitcents). It will take you forever just to submit one share. Use a good GPU and you will earn something. See this post for more details: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=35906.msg442673#msg442673

If you don't have better hardware and you want bitcoins, just buy them at one of the markets.

Also, next time you can just ask. Looks like you spent a lot of time before coming here.

What are the chances of running puddinpop’s CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL Miner with kiv's guiminer.exe backed up with A Ramdisk?

On that note. I'm gonna apologize for being so dumb.
Starting from the beginning
I learned about Bitcoins.from.anonplus and I found this
>http://www.weusecoins.com/ site<  Website
and I downloaded the windows version of the original bitcoin client
>http://www.bitcoin.org/< Download link
^ ^ but that is just a wallet
the mining is done with Cpu/gpu miners
If your looking for a video on how to set that up watch
>http://www.youtube.com/user/ClearTutorials?blend=1&ob=5#p/u/0/AJeIWT8q1sg< Youtube video
(and subscribe I hope to see a video on a what if)
>the link in the video<
>https://github.com/downloads/Kiv/poclbm/guiminer-20110701.exe< Download link
When I do as the video says and try to extract it using the 7z utility I get an error message that reads
# Message
0 Can not open file 'C:\Documents and settings\ user\My documents\Downloads\guiminer-20110701.exe

But when I double click it straight from download it runs just fine, little lines flicker across the black blank window and that is that.

I would prefer a cpu miner, my notebook presario v2000 doesn't have a gpu that I'm aware of. I'm aware of it because it has no 3d accelerator drivers and I can't for the life of me update them.

The first option I chose before watching the "youtube video" was to get a cpu miner, on the grounds I don't have a gpu. jgarzik's CPU miner (instructions)

First post #
>http://yyz.us/bitcoin/cpuminer-installer-1.0.2.zip< Download link
and I quote him
"UPDATE:  This has largely been superceded by Con Kolivas's cgminer fork.  See cgminer's official forum thread for updates and details."

>http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0< Website

this is about when I realized that the bitcoin wallet the "pool" account via
>http://mining.bitcoin.cz/< Website
and miner need to be programmed together to cooperate. I can't find that answer.

I ran a search on bitcoining mining and software
>http://www.bitcoinminer.com/post/4002371604/miner-pools-software-20110321< Website
Still searching for a cpu miner I found
jgarzik’s CPU Miner
>http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1925.0< Previous Website repost #1
With a secondary wiki link
>https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Cpu_Miner< Website

in the list of miners on the Website link to bitcoinminer.com
the second one on the list Kiv’s GUI Frontend
>http://github.com/downloads/Kiv/poclbm/poclbm-gui-20110321.exe< Download link
As explained on this website \|/
>https://github.com/Kiv/poclbm< Website
I downloaded the archive and I found .py files and went directly to Python 3.2.1
>http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2.1/< Website In hindsight I should have downloaded 2.7.2
Brick wall couldn't use it, I still have no clue

Another option I had for opening and editing .py files was notepad++
>http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v5.9.3.html< Website
it opens GUIminer without a hitch

>>I still am not sure if opening the .py files is how you configure them or if it was meant to be done<<

My first Question After I installed the bitcoin client HOW can I connect it or configure it with a username or password?

After I configure the Bitcoin Client and register an account on http://www.mining.bitcoin.cz
I added my wallet number 13v6CH9CYeFVXSC96RkjzjA9VK2mrRYbcx I'm directed to please point your miners to new URL: api2.bitcoin.cz lol I don't know what the correct question for this is Tongue
I had a thought and added the url to Add new IP or domain to whitelist and still had no luck.

I still have no miner set up.

efficiently

As shown in the "Youtube video" although my account still has issues I registered a new worker went to Kiv's GUI miner (Windows, recommended for beginners) How do I configure it to my account?

Lastly How do all three things cooperate? the files are mainly made up of .py .po .cl .mkd who's not making the apps lol? I hope if your reading this and can't help me I hope I helped you in some way.

Hello friends, I am New to Bitcoin and I am facing serious problems. I installed the guiminer software and later when I opened I got A warning message saying the OPen CL is not installed. I ignored it and when I clicked start mining an error message showed at the bottom of the guiminer saying that the dll file could not load.
I have 4GB RAM 512 MB graphics card NVIDIA and the OS is Windows XP
Kindly advise with step by step as I do not know much about bitcoin

Thnks regards


I know nussing. LoL I'm not a troll I swear. You've gotten further than I did. But I would go back and install Open CL, since that is the error message popping up. That's all I know.

I'm only here to learn why http://yyz.us/bitcoin/cpuminer-installer.zip
needs to be opened with another program? I already have a mining.bitcoin.cz account with a worker account thing, which reads If you see connection errors, please point your miners to new URL: api2.bitcoin.cz
I have the bitcoin wallet and I have found no way to set it up or configure it. I found the options but it doesn't say configure. I am an epic failure and retard. Aside from that can someone email me a response? X-Spanded@hotmail.com
I think forums should be gotten rid of.
