Title: New and confused
Post by: Worm4000 on July 09, 2011, 08:45:06 PM
A friend told me about bitcoins the other day and i've just spent the last 2 hours trying to set it up.  I signed up on God knows how many websites, and now I'm trying to use KIVs GUI miner with Slush's pool, I have a working account on Slush's website but the GUI can't log me in, I have put in my username and password, but keeps erring log in and trying every 120 seconds.  Help?

don't use the signup-username. you have to create a "worker"

An alternative to buying your first BitCoins is to earn them via this site. iWantFreeBitCoins.com (http://www.iwantfreebitcoins.com) Good chance to get some BitCoins and see what its all about before you go through all the trouble of getting a market account setup.

Just an idea.
