Title: Slush Pool installed but don't function
Post by: capitalaccent on October 13, 2013, 11:52:57 AM
I am at very beginning with mining and pools. Followed some steps, oppened account with Bitcoin.cz and installed GUIMiner but nothing happens. I think I've missed some steps as at the Device section the only option is: "No OpenCL Devices", and a message down there: "Nothing to mine on, exiting..."
Any help and advice would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks!

It seems you totally ignored my post. I'll repeat it

YOU HAVE NO OPENCL DEVICE

ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7500 is not an OpenCL device, it is a prehistoric thing.

If you want to mine either you buy a modern graphic card (no you can't put it in your laptop) wich support opencl or you buy an ASIC or, best idea, do nothing and stay out from mining because these days mining is totally unprofitable, as other people will tell you.

Sorry, where should I get them?  ???

I am getting this message:
"OpenCL for AMD with Windows XP is not supported."

I ignore nothing, just didn't get it, now I see it.
Multumesc de explicatie.
NUmai bine :)
