Title: Trouble in starting to mine Post by: CrystalBlue on February 27, 2014, 02:44:21 PM Hey,
Im new to the bitcoin thing and I'm trying to start mining. I followed a tutorial from youtube in order to mine in GUIMiner, but, when I try to mine it says No OpenCL devices, or Connection problems. It just doesn't mine. Sometimes it also says: "Nothing to mine on, extining..." Can someone please help start mining? Thank you.

Second, you'll need to give us a clue as to what your computer's specs are. What sort of graphics card have you got? What OS are you running?

I trust that you are experienced.
My computer is a laptop HP with intel i5. Im not into computers so i dont know how to specify it more, but ill probably purchase a new laptop. Any reccomendations for the graphcs card?

Any reccomendations for the graphcs card? If it's an i5, then the graphics are built in to the CPU. You'll get about 5kH at best from that, which is totally and utterly pointless. If you want to mine with that laptop, you'll have to buy a USB miner, rather than a graphics card. USE AMD Radeon r9 280 or 290 ROI is best with them Nice to see you actually read the thread before posting. ::) Good luck getting a R9 280 or 290 working in a HP laptop. Herp-a-derp.
