Title: Presentation and Newbie questions... Post by: diegomartinmdq on August 20, 2011, 12:48:12 PM Hello,
This is my first massage on the forum. I started reading about bitcoin a few days ago, the idea is great. I'm also interested in mining. I'm running on Ubuntu 11.04, I have bitcoin software installed, and also installed the latest version of poclbm. It seems that all software is installed right, bitcoin software is working, and I got my first receiving transaction from Bitcoin Faucet. But when I run "poclbm" to start mining, I get this message: Code: 20/08/2011 08:53:33, Setting server (xxxxxxx @ xxxx.xxxx.xxx:nnnn) But then it keeps running, and I get these messages: Code: xxxx.xxxx.xxx:nnnn 20/08/2011 08:53:34, LP connected to xxxx.xxxx.xxx:nnnn This means that the minner is working I guess... but I really don't know for sure. Is it really working? Can I check that it's working in any way? Thanks to all, and I'm sorry for the newbie questions... Title: Re: Presentation and Newbie questions...

OR: try the latest phoenix (that's what I switched over to.) Title: Re: Presentation and Newbie questions...
