Can't get Vertminer started
April 13, 2014, 10:16:15 PM

Hello, I'm a newbie miner trying to use Vertminer on Coinotron to run my GPU but I'm having some problems.
I downloaded the link and unzipped the files, then click on the Vertminer run icon and I get a small black DOS screen with this at the bottom:
Failed to resolve (?wrong URL) Pool 2:PORT
Failed to resolve (?wrong URL) Pool 1:PORT
Does anyone know how I can link it to my GPU?

Hi Equate,
I'm already registered on a Vertcoin pool on Coinotron. I have a wallet set up ready with them. I just don't know how to configure the miner to read to the pool there.
Also, I used GUI Miner for PPC and found you can just input all the necessary Ports and web address and it works fine.
Vertminer simply shows me a small DOS screen with errors.

It has to work.
The .conf file was blank and windows said it cannot read this file. I have various other blank sheet unreadable files. This seems to be the problem.
The .bat file was not found.
Why can't windows read them?

Just follow step by step
1 vertminer
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dfx474gasa7d2md/VertiKev.zip
2 Just read a little
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=466867.0
You have to set vertminer.conf and start.bat files after that you can start by clicking start.bat file
Why can't windows read them?
Right click on file / edit.
or use

or change extension from bat/conf to txt

Sadly after right-clicking on the .conf file there was no option to edit anything. I still don't see a .bat file either.

Hi, thank you for the help. I just got a friend to follow through the instructions and he understood it all.
Apparently if I just click on TheKeVKiCksASS then that is the .bat file I was missing. He also used the notepad helper to get it all going although I'm a bit non the wiser.
It seems the blank white sheet (windows cannot read file) was not really an issue.
