I made it to the last part of the Ethminer set-up.
DAG reached 100% then said DAG generation failure. Reason: Permission denied
But, why? I followed instructions step by step from here: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/guides/how-to-mine-ethereum/

This happens whether I run as Administrator or not, and still happens for both ethminer -G and ethminer -C

Any advice? Suggestions?  Huh

The block chain is the main innovation of Bitcoin. It is the first distributed timestamping system.

probably because you are running several instance at the same time, and they all are writing or overwriting the same DAG file
