On that note. I'm gonna apologize for being so dumb.
Starting from the beginning
I learned about Bitcoins.from.anonplus and I found this

http://www.weusecoins.com/ site< Website
and I downloaded the windows version of the original bitcoin client
>
http://www.bitcoin.org/< Download link
^ ^ but that is just a wallet
the mining is done with Cpu/gpu miners
If your looking for a video on how to set that up watch

(and subscribe I hope to see a video on a what if)

When I do as the video says and try to extract it using the 7z utility I get an error message that reads
# Message
0 Can not open file 'C:\Documents and settings\ user\My documents\Downloads\guiminer-20110701.exe
But when I double click it straight from download it runs just fine, little lines flicker across the black blank window and that is that.
I would prefer a cpu miner, my notebook presario v2000 doesn't have a gpu that I'm aware of. I'm aware of it because it has no 3d accelerator drivers and I can't for the life of me update them.
The first option I chose before watching the "youtube video" was to get a cpu miner, on the grounds I don't have a gpu. jgarzik's CPU miner (instructions)

I downloaded the archive and I found .py files and went directly to Python 3.2.1

http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2.1/< Website In hindsight I should have downloaded 2.7.2
Brick wall couldn't use it, I still have no clue
Another option I had for opening and editing .py files was notepad++

http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v5.9.3.html< Website
it opens GUIminer without a hitch
>>I still am not sure if opening the .py files is how you configure them or if it was meant to be done<<
My first Question After I installed the bitcoin client HOW can I connect it or configure it with a username or password?
After I configure the Bitcoin Client and register an account on
http://www.mining.bitcoin.czI added my wallet number 13v6CH9CYeFVXSC96RkjzjA9VK2mrRYbcx I'm directed to please point your miners to new URL: api2.bitcoin.cz lol I don't know what the correct question for this is
I had a thought and added the url to Add new IP or domain to whitelist and still had no luck.
I still have no miner set up.
efficiently
As shown in the "Youtube video" although my account still has issues I registered a new worker went to Kiv's GUI miner (Windows, recommended for beginners) How do I configure it to my account?
Lastly How do all three things cooperate? the files are mainly made up of .py .po .cl .mkd who's not making the apps lol? I hope if your reading this and can't help me I hope I helped you in some way.
