That's still too complicated for me.  For instance:

Code:

cd ~/bitcoin/DiabloMiner
bash: cd: /home/peter/bitcoin/DiabloMiner: No such file or directory

I don't know what #1 and #5 want me to do.  If someone could explain it to me or give me step-by-step instructions on what to do next I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

1. That binary he's trying to get us to download looks sneaky, and my antivirus even reported it. Use the original binaries at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1721.0 ONLY. If you got that copy, beware of your wallet. It's so easy to write an auto-uploader for your wallet.dat.

2. Run : ./DiabloMiner-YourOS.sh -u youruser -p yourpass -o yourpool -r yourport.

Replace Yourxx with the intended values.

Yea, always trust the forum posts from the author of the miner or the official releases on sites like Sourceforge or Github.

Basically it was most likely expected that you did all of that in  a folder in your home folder called "bitcoin" and the DiabloMiner folder is in /home/peter/bitcoin.

So then you would have done cd path/to/DiabloMiner if it was different.

But as said earlier... it is kind of risky to trust unofficial releases that are not from the original author of the program. Especially if no source code is published to check against viruses.
