For starters you're in the wrong place and time. No one mines bitcoin with GPUs any more.

Well they can still mine other coins with GPU, the OP never said anything about mining Bitcoins

ckolivas, the first individual to reply to you, serendipitously is also the person who supports cgminer, the binary in the headless tutorial I linked, but requires a older version of cgminer, because the afore mentioned responder didn't like supporting the scrypt alg.

I guess ckolivas has a history of ignoring the scrypt side of digital currency  :-*

Is Scrypt mining even profitable now compared to SHA-256?  Don't see any of the Alts making money for the amount of investment you'd have to put into a rig.  Doge, Dark, LTC...NOPE.
