Hello,
This is my first massage on the forum. I started reading about bitcoin a few days ago, the idea is great. I'm also interested in mining. I'm running on Ubuntu 11.04, I have bitcoin software installed, and also installed the latest version of poclbm. It seems that all software is installed right, bitcoin software is working, and I got my first receiving transaction from Bitcoin Faucet.
But when I run "poclbm" to start mining, I get this message:
20/08/2011 08:53:33, Setting server (xxxxxxx @ xxxx.xxxx.xxx:nnnn)
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):

kernel_file = open('phatk.cl', 'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'phatk.cl'
But then it keeps running, and I get these messages:

This means that the minner is working I guess... but I really don't know for sure. Is it really working? Can I check that it's working in any way?
Thanks to all, and I'm sorry for the newbie questions...
