Title: New member hoping to get into the development of Bitcoin Mining.
Post by: DJStealth on August 01, 2011, 11:54:11 PM
Hi there, I am currently trying to to gather information on bitcoin mining, such what to do with the hashes, any development resources I can find, etc. If anyone has tips/information on this please tell me!

Not sure what you meant by what to do with the hashes, or development resources.

But you pretty much set up your video card hashing power to mine ... either solo or pool. If you join a pool (which is advisable unless you have THash/sec power), the pool will usually have a link to help you.

The miner for your consideration ..

Windows: GUIMINER
LINUX: Phoenix

That's all I know.

My issue is i have an integrated graphics card that isn't openCL supported. GUIMINER won't even run. cgminer gives a nice 0x00000013 error code on startup. and I can't find a decent CPU miner.

Not even indirectly (like it's part of the rent or somthing) ?

In that case perhaps CPU mining might be profitable, even if barely...

Can you recommend a working decent CPU miner?

Last i checked GUIminer comes with a CPU miner as well, make sure you got the latest version and that your antivirus isn't messing with it and try again (create a new worker and pick the CPU miner, i forgot the name)
