Alright, thanks!

I have looked at it and there is two choices to make here. Either sha256 or SHA-256d. Do you know what the difference is?

Software: CUDA Miner
OS: Windovs 7
Graphics card: GeForce GT 560 Ti

For the moment I am only mining litecoins. This works fine. But if I want to try my luck with mining bitcoins how do I do it?

I understandthat CUDA Miner supports mining bitcoins by selecting another algorithm somehow. I have looked at the help and readme file but I dont fully understand it.

Can someone please help me with this?

BR,

Wow, thank you so much for your help!

I am now up and running. There seems to be two choices of algorithms to use; sha256d and SHA-256D. What is the difference between these?

I have now downloaded and fired up CUDAMiner (rpcminer-cuda.exe) but I am being greeted with this text:

"Could not retrieve work from RPC server."

What's wrong, and how or in what file can I write the address to the pool as well as the port number and my credentials?

Drkrills: Yeah, I'll surely keep that in mind!

Thanks for the quick response!

Alright I will look into those softwares and I'll be in touch if it doesn't work out!

But you are able to exchange litecoins for usd at the moment right?
I am a bit confused, does my hash rates improve whith Nvidia while mining for litecoin or does it not take as much time before getting some coins?

Hi folks!

I am kind of new to mining bitcoins and I have stumbled upon an odd error when configurating GUIMiner.

Graphics card: GeForce GT560 Ti
Software: GUIMiner

Disclaimer: I know that Nvidia isn't preffered when mining bitcoins but the purpose is to get the hang of it before investing my student capital in bitmining.

I have registered myself to slush's pool and I have recieved my credentials and entered those into GUIMiner. I have also connected my account on slush's with my wallet.

When I am creatuing a new miner (CUDA) I cannot start mining! I press the button "Start" but nothing happens. No text. Nothing.

Can anyone please share their valuable time and help me with this problem as I myself have gotten quite stuck to say the least. If there is anything that is in need of clarifying please let me now!

Best regards,
