But now I have a handful of USB Erupters and am waiting for orders of ASICs from BFL, KNC and BitFury. And GUIminer seems useless with ASICs so far. I've now just wasted several hours of my life attempting to install BFGminer and have failed miserably. In the past I've had failures with CGminer and others.
Seriously, what decade is this that we can't simply click an .exe file and have a completely functioning miner within minutes?! I'm not a coder and never wanted to be one but I'm no technoob either. Compiling, binaries, DLLs, blah, blah, blah. Why is this so bleeping difficult?
I've been reading there forums virtually every day, hoping someone would post a fool-proof step-by-step on miner installation. Or better yet, wishing someone would take pity on me an invent something simple.
Help me please!
Many pieces of mining software are not installed, but are instead contained in a zip file. They can be finnicky at times and may requires some adjusting to get optimal results. Check the mining area for more info
