Title: CGMiner - how to enter pool info?
Post by: CBuffer on March 20, 2013, 05:59:11 AM
I'm coming back to Bitcoin after a year or so. Found my old coins and was happy to note that selling them yesterday yielded way more than my rig cost me. When I started mining people said it was too late to get a return  ;D

Yesterday I downloaded the latest cgminer and managed to install it on ubuntu - shockingly easy. How do I add my pool information?

Last time I was using deepbit. I have an account there. Just looking to see where I put in my user/pass and specify deepbit. When I did this last time I seem to remember there was a GUI - I expect it was on windows. Perhaps I'm just missing the X windows GUI.

Thanks.

BTW, I'm tempted to go to the US and buy one of the monster mining ASIC set ups. But reading around it looks like they aren't actually shipping?

Just run cgminer and it will ask for all it needed to work.
