Hi,
I am using GUIMiner, and it won't connect to slush's pool. It does, however, work with other pools, but slush's says "connection problems." Any help solving is greatly appreciated.
Z.Q.H.

Most uncertainly.
Probably.

When I try to start GUIMiner, it tells me errors occured and to check the error log for more details. This is a copy of the error log:

ERROR:root:Exception:

Anyone help getting it working would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am a newbie at mining bitcoins, and needed some help getting started. I have a NVS 3100M GPU and a i5 quad core CPU. I need help on choosing software, choosing a pool, and getting it set up to start mining bitcoins. Thanks in advance for any help.
