Title: Neither GUIminer nor CGminer work when mining Bytecoins
Post by: Jasp3r on April 11, 2013, 06:57:29 PM
Hi,

A friend of mine who was mining bitcoins 2 years ago has convinced me to start mining Bytecoins.
I want to mine for this pool (http://pool8.co/static/), but nothing seems to work.

I first tried GUIminer, which I set up like this: https://i.imgur.com/58BUEo7.png
But I kept getting these errors:

2013-04-11 18:20:04: Listener for "Default": 54.225.76.105:6327 11/04/2013 18:20:04, Verification failed, check hardware! (0:0:Barts, e66901a7)

I got these errors with multiple pools.
Then updated my driver, but now GUIminer won't start up at all.

Okay then I thought, maybe try CGminer. This is what my StartMiner.bat looks like:

cgminer -o 54.225.76.105:6327 -u 8bJvPBpSBvY6r9UzKVUzokUkJ2rRMpgL1F -p 8

but when I run it (click on StartMiner.bat) it just crashes: CGminer has stopped working

So am I doing something very wrong or does every piece of software just hate me?
