Yip! Is that a bad thing? Huh

EDIT: It's a GA790FXTA or something. I think I bought it in 2010 just before the new MOBOs came out.

Would it be the reason why BAMT is not working?

Oh! I'm supposed to edit the files before booting to the usb drive?
When booting I get an error: "No default or UI configuration directive found!"

EDIT: I'd also like to save up for a while to buy parts for one or two mining machines. Where can I learn more about this?

Do you have a gigabyte motherboard?

Hello everyone, I'm an Ubuntu user (relatively new but have done some things with it) and have just discovered bitcoin. I was following the instructions in this topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.600306 hoping to be able to mine for bitcoins at the end of it, (which is where my problem starts). The instructions are for an ati GPU but I'm running an Nvidia GTX470

When I start what I believe to be a python script, I get the following response

brian@precise:~/poclbm$ ./poclbm.py
Wrong platform or more than one OpenCL platforms found, use --platform to select one of the following

  •    AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
  • [1]   NVIDIA CUDA
    brian@precise:~/poclbm$ 1
    1: command not found
    brian@precise:~/poclbm$ ./poclbm.py
    Wrong platform or more than one OpenCL platforms found, use --platform to select one of the following

    brian@precise:~/poclbm$

    I need help fixing this. I don't know where to start looking. could someone point me in the right direction?

    I would really like to start mining with my nvidia

    P.S.
    I have an ATi card sitting on my bedside table (it's a 4850 though) and will have a spare (dual-core) computer by the end of the week . The computer was meant to be an htpc - home theater PC - but it could serve as a miner as well.

    Hmm... lots of brackets. I must be tired. Going to bed: will check on this in the morning.


Welcome to the Family!

I can't help you out with Ubuntu, but I have a quick way to get you up and mining. Download the latest BAMT build @ bamter.org. Load it up on a 2gb or higher USB drive, and get going. Its easier than Ubuntu and requires close to no experience with linux. I really would recommend it for a new guy like you.

Let me know if you need any more help. Feel free to pm me as well.
