Yea, I'm not sure how I can be noobing this badly, but it still is giving me nothing to mine on, exiting.

My conf file looks like:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=9778
server=1

My shortcut looks like:
C:\fakepath\bytecoin-qt.exe -rpcuser=username -rpcpassword=password

My GUI miner settings are:
Server: other (no solo setting that I can find)
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 9778
Username: username
Password: password

Result: "Nothing to mine on, exiting."

You grab a piece of mining software (e.g. GUIMiner), sign up at a mining pool and start to mine.
What if I want to solo mine? And doesn't GUIMiner only support Bitcoin?
Sorry, I was thinking about bytecoin (which is a direct clone of bitcoin), you can use GUIMiner for bytecoin.
So I've tried like 3 different alt-currencies, including Bytecoin, and GUIMiner keeps on saying 'nothing to mine on, exiting.'



Did you follow these instructions?

Thanks for the info. I wasn't actually looking to mine Bytecoin, but I guess its a good test.

How do I mine alternate currencies that aren't Bitcoin and don't have a mining tab like the Litecoin client does?  Huh

I know its a super dumb question, but I'm honestly having a hard time.
