Hi,
Curiosity got the best of me and I simply want to try out BTC mining to see it in action.
I have a Desktop PC running Debian Wheezy with an ATI HD 5700 Series Video Card. I understand that CPU mining is no longer supported by BFGminer, and that GPU-only mining runs at a loss. Again, I only want to see it in action, that's all.
I have downloaded and installed BFGminer, setup an account on both Slush's pool and BTC Guild.
I have also installed Bitcoin-qt and gotten a receive address.
I can run bfgminer with my user/pwd for Slush's pool and BTC Guild. It runs okay, but I do not see the numbers change on either website (estimated speed, etc.).
On the miner side of things, I see the expected message:
"Stratum from pool 0 requested work update" 1-2 times per minute.
I am attaching a screenshot of bfgminer running.
Can someone please tell me why the numbers on Slush's pool and BTC Guild are not updating. Is the program running correctly, and simply having a single GPU is not cutting it? Thanks.
