So NOW I'm getting 933 khash/s I did something right!

Oh, so I have now a GUIMiner  So now (Oh great, more questions?) I signed up for the pool at mining.bitcoin.cz and I have a miner set up for Ufasoft CPU (since that's what I'm using as is, I don't have a very fancy NVidia  card or anything) and this is how I have it configured:


Ext. Path:  C:\Users\Username\Downloads\guiminer\miners\ufasoft\bitcoin-miner.exe
Server: Slush's Pool
Website: http://mining.bitcoin.cz
Username: myusername
Password: mypassword
Extra flags: -v -w128 -f 30 (I saw somewhere this was default?)
CPU Affinity is checked , zero value
Balance is zero value.


So I'll click "Start Mining" and I get a nice message:

-x type=host:port Use HTTP or SOCKS proxy, Examples: -x http=127.0.0.1:3128 (etc.)

So for the Extra Flags, should I be doing -x http= then the IP of mining.bitcoin.cz?

Just to confirm, is it from here: https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm ?

Making sure I got the right idea , found a direct download :-) thanks for everyone's help also!! You guys rock

Also the default path when I open cmd (as admin) is C:\Windows\system32>

I did replace <username> with the proper one  but we did get somewhere!

It kicked back:

"Exception in thread "Main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/ParseException
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.com..."

Man, aren't I just a very typical noob? 

I did it just how you typed, I got back the copyright date of Microsoft windows and a Version number,
Then I just did C:\Windows\System32\Users\<username>\Desktop\DiabloMiner.exe and I got "The system cannot find the path specified"

(Again, please bear with me on being a "Noob")

would I be using (Assuming it's ran as Administrator):

C:\Windows\System32\Users\<username>\Desktop\DiabloMiner.exe  ?

Greetings one and all!

Ok, so as instructed, I'm posting in the "Newbies" section (which is appropriate for my case). I've joined a mining pool, but when I went to go download a 'miner app' (is that how it's said?) It just flashed a command window,and went away. Even running it as an administrator , same effect.

The OS is Windows Vista Service Pack 3.
The Mining software was DiabloMiner (I downloaded whatever the most recent one is)






Forgive my poor knowledge of the topic, I'm learning  Thanks for any help!
