1  Bitcoin / Mining support / Bitminter Client (beginner) on: November 08, 2017, 11:21:15 AM
Hello.
I read a lot of tutorials about the bitminter client.
I made an account there and also an account for payout (wallet).
The client begins to work, my laptop becomes a heather ^^
(at this time the preformance doesnt matter)

the client shows a lot of information:
Code:
2017.11.08 [12:13] BitMinter Client v1.6.1 started 
2017.11.08 [12:13] Found 1 OpenCL-compatible GPU
2017.11.08 [12:13]  Hint: Use performance mode for best GPU results (bottom right button)
2017.11.08 [12:13] Probing all ports for external devices

2017.11.08 [12:13]  Probe of port COM7 failed: timeout
2017.11.08 [12:13]  Cannot probe COM6: port in use
2017.11.08 [12:13]  Probe of port COM5 failed: timeout
the hashrate is 10 points.

but i dont know:
is my client really connected to bitminter and collect coins?
Why do i need the com ports? 
in youtube videos it looks very simple.
sometimes they talk about com virtualisation software.
i tried but without change in the bitminter software

i need a really good tutorial before thinking about preformance (antminter hardware etc....)
