Gui Miner

How do I set up the gui miner to run slush's pool?

I am not the most technical person so please keep it simple.

Thanks

Its quite easy.

A) Sign up for Slush's pool. I am not very sure on this process so I'll leave you to figure that part out.

B) Download the latest version of Kiv's Gui Miner https://github.com/Kiv/poclbm/downloads (its 20120219 at time of writing)

C) Next you need to install openCl drivers for your make of GPU. It will be up to you to find these files mostly because you havn't even said what you are using.

D) You create a new miner in GUI-miner by first deciding which you want to use, OpenCL, then choose which server you want to connect to, Slush's for your case, fill in the info for logins and there you go.

There is a few optimization you can do with flags and such but being that I have no idea what cards you are running or if you are even GPU mining its hard to steer you in the right direction.

I hope this helps

It does help. Im sorry about not providing more info.

I do not have a CPU, so how would I set it up given that?

Thanks

What do you mean you don't have a CPU? You will need to tell me exactly what you are working with for me to help you out.

[Vernon715]

OOPS. I should have said no GPU.

OOPS. I should have said no GPU.

If you don't have a GPU, you can't mine.

You might want to look into litecoin, as it uses cpu mining
