Post by: ZodiacDragon84 on February 07, 2012, 05:41:37 AM what OS you running? Judging by the fact that you need a .dll, I would assume Windows, but what flavour of Windows?

ARGGGGGG I IS MAD ( not at you my computer) no it can mine on the cpu using the proper software, but the payout won't cover the new laptop you'll need when you melt it Title: Re: HELP HELP!!! Post by: ZodiacDragon84 on February 07, 2012, 06:14:43 AM you could always try bitcoinplus.com its java based from your browser, and its what got me started in mining. (it mines CPU only) Just make sure you have your bitcoin client installed
