Are you trying to operate cgminer and guiminer at the same time? Only one will work at a time.

For guiminer to work, make sure your username/password and host and port are set exactly as listed. If you miss a space or something it will not work. Also, try creating another worker.

I don't know what you are running for hardware, but I would go checkout a bitcoin calculator to see if it is even worth your time trying to mine.

Thanks for your answer. Hardware is crap, only for test. However I have free power Wink

I ordered some ASIC's but want to make sure I set up correctly before I'll run them
I have GUIminer like shell, running CGminer or other miner which I choose.

But I will try using only CGminer, thanks

CGminer is the best by far. I had many problems with all the other miners out there, including bfgminer. I pefer it hands down. I just started as well, if you are on windows just

make a .bat with the following config:

cgminer -o pooldns:port -u username -p password

EXAMPLE:

cgminer -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u MassDivide_SuperComputer -p bitcointalk.org

name the bat startmining.bat and run it. Should work fine, unless you have asic erupters on. I can give you a config for that too.

Just try using CGminer by itself, you're probably better off, just read the readme file and there's a sample command line. Just replace it with your info.

Hi guys

New to bitcoins, set up wallet, gui miner + cg miner on normal work PC (not using graphics card) - just for test.
Seems to be connected to the pool and changing statistics on my slash's page
Now it is: XXXX.worker1 XXXXX 0 12 190.1475 4 minutes 4.462

CGminer says: 2013-11-07 21:55:19: Listener for "Slush": (1s):8.127M (avg):7.738Mh/s | A:12 R:0 HW:0 WU:0.1/m

But GUIminer in the right corner does not show speed, it says "Connecting" all the time, however in the left side it updates info.

What would be the reason?
I used correct host address stratum.bitcoin.cz and port is 3333

Thanks!
