No problem, I've done this a few times before. The 50 BTC isn't even necessary.

• Close Bitcoin, make sure you have "show hidden files and folders" turned on, and turn off "hide extensions for known file types"
• Go to "/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/Bitcoin" and create a new file named "bitcoin.conf"
• Add "rpcuser=<username>" and "rpcpassword=<password>" to bitcoin.conf on separate lines
• Right click on the Bitcoin shortcut and add " -server" to the end of the "Target:" field
• Download the OpenCL miner and extract it
• Create a new file named "miner.bat" in the folder where you extracted the miner
• Add "poclbm.exe -v -w 128 -f 30 --host=127.0.0.1 --port=8332 --user=<username> --pass=<password>" to that file
• Start Bitcoin and then run "miner.bat"
• The Miner will ask you for a device, and list at least two. Enter the number next to your GPU (usually 1). You can then add "-d <number>" to your "miner.bat" and it won't have to ask you next time.

If Quip helps you, you can just send the 50 Bitcoin to me instead.

Thanks in advance.

I will pay him after my first Block comes in anyways.

[someotherguy]

Right click on the Bitcoin shortcut and add " -server" to the end of the "Target:" field

Help,  I do not have that option in Windows 7.

[Garrett Burgwardt]

You have to click properties first.

[someotherguy]

You have to click properties first.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin.exe"-server

Like so?

[Need2Revolt]

You have to click properties first.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin.exe"-server

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin.exe -server"
maybe like this

[someotherguy]

Getting a message something like:

"Warning  To use the "-server" option you must set rpcpassword=,password> in the configuration file:
c:/users/user/appdata/roaming/biycoin/bitcoin.conf
If this file does not exist creat it with owner-readable-only file permission"

I have done this PLEASE HELP

[Garrett Burgwardt]

Did you make the folder under your username, not a new folder named user?

And are you sure it's a bitcoin.conf file (not a bitcoin.conf.txt file)

http://malektips.com/windows-7-view-file-extensions.html

Enable file extensions, and it should only show "bitcoin.conf"

[someotherguy]

Uncheck "Hide extensions of know file types" in folder options. Your bitcoin.conf is probably bitcoin.conf.txt

I did. I have created a File named bitcoin.conf in the Roaming/bitcoin folder.   Just to be clear it is a File and not Folder, also how do I add to a .conf flie?

[someotherguy]

Add "rpcuser=<username>" and "rpcpassword=<password>" to bitcoin.conf on separate lines

Is it a txt file inside a folder?  What kind of file? 

Can somebody use TEAM VIEWER and and help me out for a sec.  Email me.

Thanks.

It's a standard text file. Open it in notepad, enter the text, and be sure to save it as "all files" so it doesn't change the file extension.

Ok that is done.  Now when I start the miner.bat file a black DOS box pops up and goes away very fast cant tell what is says.

[Garrett Burgwardt]

What type of video card do you have?


EDIT: Sorry, reread the first post.

Download and install the ATI Stream SDK

http://developer.amd.com/Downloads/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-vista-win7-64.exe

Once that is done, restart and try to run it again.

I have done this, ATI STREAM SDK is installed, current drivers, etc. Also I checked it with Geeks3D, all is well.  I started Bitcoin and then the miner.bat file.  Bitcoin is fine but the miner.bat file does nothing except open that DOS screen and close it in a split second.

[Garrett Burgwardt]

Can you paste the contents of miner.bat for me to see?

[someotherguy]

Can you paste the contents of miner.bat for me to see?

poclbm.exe -v -w 128 -f 30 --host=mining.bitcoin.cz --port=8332 --user=myusername --pass=mypassword

I have substituted "myusername" and "mypassword" with the real one in the actual file

[Garrett Burgwardt]

Good, heh.

And that file is in the folder with poclbm in it?

[someotherguy]

Good, heh.

And that file is in the folder with poclbm in it?

That file is in the miner.bat file (not a folder) I open it by right clicking and selecting "Edit"  I put the file in their using Notpad and saved it as "All Files".  (I also tried saving it as a txt file)
