DoneNow, the GPU I have did
not show up in gui-miner, instead it gave me some feedback about
openCL, so I installed
http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPPSDK/Pages/default.aspx, restarted gui-miner, and there it was: my trusty old GeForce 9600GT, showing up just fine.
-Filled in credentials in the miner, pressed 'start mining':
It would not connect: 'starting' or 'connecting', then: nothing moves for half an hour.
Added 'summary' and 'console' to the view. Summary seems to hang on the message 'connecting'. The console gave some clue, though:
Wrong platform or more than one OpenCL platforms found, use --platform to select one of the following
[0] NVIDIA CUDA
[1] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
So I tried with this flag:
--platform 1
Restarting mining now did not raise any warnings or errors in the console.
Checking the summary shows I am currently adding 3.2Mhash/s to the pool
But: after a while: 'verification failed! check hardware!' Oops:
tried
--platform 0
instead.
Restarting mining now did not raise any warnings or errors in the console.
Checking the summary shows I am currently fluctuating between 13 and 13.3Mhash/s.
Few seconds later: 1 share accepted.
Checked my account on
http://mining.bitcoin.cz/accounts/profile/, estimated BTC reward for current round:

Where is a list of all the flag options?
(I did have very old drivers)
