1  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: DiabloMiner GPU Miner on: October 09, 2013, 04:33:32 PM
Hello, im very sorry to ask this, what i guess is very basic, but i searched, on this forum, specifically on this post too... trying to look any similar problems, and i didnt found anything, im pretty sure im not doing it completly right, but i spent some hours and im starting to fell frustrated.
So here is the problem i have:

Code:
[09/10/13 12:44:38] Started

[09/10/13 12:44:38] Connecting to: http://pit.deepbit.net:8332/

[09/10/13 12:44:38] ERROR: No OpenCL platforms found
DiabloMiner: An error occurred while starting the application.

So with my basic knowledge i think is all about the drivers on my GPU,

I installed the newest drivers for my GeForce 6150SE nForce 430. Is this board compatible with openCL?
I should configure any settings? use other command on the command lines?
or should I forget about GPU minning with this board and directly try CPU minning?


Your GPU is too old to support OpenCL.


so... i should give up on gpu mining, at least on the PCs with that GPU, thanks

Do what you want to do, it's better than listening to others some times. People are bias. Trial and error can be very useful.

Im gonna take that advise... in my short incursion to other forums while this one was down under reparation, i felt like everyone was trying to keep me away, or selling me some "magical" artifact anyways, ill try to start right away.

A huge botnet of many, many computers was being used to mine Bitcoins using the CPUs of the computers in the botnet.

It was calculated that in order to produce $2,000 in Bitcoins the botnet consumed about $600,000 in stolen electricity.

well that is a lot of wasted energy... i better try using part of the batch of pcs at time.


You should check out some of the threads related to the subject, there's a lot of information which would help you I think.

yeah, im checking, in fact i think thats my problem, i read and learn, and im not still feeling sure enough to create a wallet, and join a pool

Try some pool which pays per share (PPS). For example Deepbit.

Thank you.



Yes, but CPUs and GPUs under heavy use (mining) consume more electricity than if you just doing some low CPUs and GPUs intensive work on your comp. The bad thing is, it consumes more electricity than you generate reward  Wink

Yes, thank you for the advice i had read that in a lot of places, and i have found a lot of people recommending me to buy some hardware, but honestly, my main purpose is to investigate, and learn.

Hello everyone in here, i been getting around the bitcoin mining for a week now, and when i found this forum, i tought it would be a good idea to read some before i post, so i read somthing and when i start to get some of the ideas here it went down,  so i had the whole weeked to investigate on other places, not as much complete as this is, and i saw that what im trying to do is a bit different, i dont want to get rich or anything, i just have some, not much, processing power idle for most of the day, and i think is a good idea to give a use of it, probably the benefit wont be great, but i think the concept of getting something for just leaving your pc doing someone elses work, and helping in solving something (i have no clue whats been "solved") during time, is very interesting and the aplications could be even more interesting.
I didnt started mining on a pool, since i read in here about creating a wallet on a secure way, and saw it was a bit complicated, so isaid, ill do it wih time on this weekend.
Now im asking, what pool is advisable for a person with a non-continual proces power ¿?
