Hello, complete noob here.  This is my first time trying to mine anything and I am running across two problems.  

First, when installing bfgminer as per instructions from mediterraneancoin.org I get the error: "'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." when trying to run the mcproxy from the command prompt.  I have the latest versions of Java and the JDK installed.
EDIT: Nevermind, got it!  Needed to add java to %PATH%.

The second issue is if I do try to run bfgminer anyways my keyboard stops working and my mouse is all screwed up.  I can no longer highlight things or right click until I restart the computer.  This is on windows 7.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Got my 3 Antminers today from ibipot.... Thanks...

what is you want to do? I have used 2nd gen MED bfgminer with --http-port option to do the job (bitcoinminer hashes -> 2nd gen med bgfminer -> pool).
Also you could use MCProxy4 that has stratum built in.

I believe ibipot has a guide in the getting started section

Have you tried winrar?

Same here, I did a test transaction for 50 INK and it's unconfirmed since few days already. This is the 1st bug.
2nd bug is mining with the official windows wallet - I've lost ~50k INK (first hours of INK), because the fresh mined coins had Immature status and never been confirmed. Once I've restarted machines - they disappeared forever...
3rd bug is the official windows wallet likes to freeze after hours of working, I mean it looks it works, but sending "getinfo" command (in console) shows wallet is stopped on some block and won't download/synchronize, even if there's ~120 connections.
Good news is... I've compiled the linux version and it doesn't have these problems.

there is no KGW (Kimoto gravity well) and it looks like there is no way for it to re-target the difficulty in any direction other than up.. so by virtue of that, it has no way to reach equilibrium.
lol obviously you need to read up a bit more on how this coin works.. im done here... no point in arguing with people who aren't willing to take the time to research what the coin actually does. if you don't believe me read the source code.

I don't know who is mining this coin but this morning I stopped all my mining...

last night I had an "aha" moment when I finally realized that this coin is fatally flawed.

the reason why this coin is designed to fail is quite simple..

for those who do not understand the relationship between block difficulty and transaction times please read this wiki

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Blocks

it is fundamentally important that block difficulty be adjustable (both up and down) so that blocks can continue to be solved at a moderate pace.
this is because blocks are nothing more than a bunch of transactions bundled together in a block which secured (ie locked) by a cryptographic hash.
the cryptograpic hash of course is what every miner is competing for.. the guy who finds the solution to the mathematical problem defined by the Network difficulty is the guy who gets to process a block of transactions and gets to stamp a hash on the block so that it cant be tampered with. he/she/it gets paid 50 coins for their trouble.

now consider this...

once the difficulty gets so high that it literally takes HOURS for the network to solve the next block, then this means that transaction times will blow out exponentially. considering that most transactions require a large number of confirmations to be considered safe (on some smaller alt coins this is as high as 120 confirmations) this means that the actual time for a transaction to be processed and considered SAFE could end up taking days.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Confirmation

sure you might think.. we are a long way off blocks taking hours to solve.. but actually the truth is with a lot of these smaller coins.. it doesn't take long before miners move on to mine more profitable coins.. this means that over time as the difficulty rises the total network hashing power decreases which makes it even harder for the existing miners (those who joined together in a pool) to solve blocks so they too move on to other coins and the spiral continues downward...

in normal crypto coins, block difficulty re-targeting is designed to counter this problem by reducing the difficulty so that a steady stream of blocks can be processed...
based on what others have stated on this forum (and observation), what the stupid incompetent dev of this coin has done is modify that feature so that the difficulty can NEVER go down.
this means that the network cannot adjust to any decrease in mining capacity..

so in conclusion any decrease in mining capacity is likely to lead to a further decreases in mining capacity which will eventually result in it being too difficult for the remaining miners to solve blocks in a reasonable amount of time and at that point the network will grind to a halt.

so IMO it could be days away, or even weeks away, but I don't think we are years away from seeing this network collapse.

of course the dev could solve this problem if he/she/they hard forked and reworked the targeting algorithm (and I hope they do because I have some coins) but until then this coin is relegated to becoming nearly worthless as a transaction currency.
