Guiminer will not start (solved, kinda)
-
I’ve been trying to get things up and running on my machine for several days now, but no luck. My latest attempt was with guiminer. I’ve been following this tutorial: [url=http://cryptojunky.com/blog/2013/03/12/absolute-beginners-guide-to-litecoin-mining/]http://cryptojunky.com/blog/2013/03/12/absolute-beginners-guide-to-litecoin-mining/[/url] (it’s about Litecoin, but I’m told you can also mine feathercoin following the same steps). I successfully downloaded guiminer, but when I try to open guiminer.exe I get this error message:

The logs contains the following:
[code]ERROR:root:Exception:

Sadly, I cannot even begin to fathom what this means. Does anyone have an idea? I don’t have an AMD gpu like the tutorial assumes you have, but I was going to try cpu mining first anyway (yes, I know gpu is better). Would the wrong gpu be causing it to not even open?I’m aware that there is also cgminer, but I’ve tried and failed to get that running as well (see my other thread if you think you can help). I don’t have any feathercoins at the moment, but I’d be happy to tip anyone who can help me resolve the issues I’ve been having once I do have some.
Thanks! -
Finally realized that guiminer uses gpu and I was trying to do cpu mining. I managed to get cpuminer up and running. Yay! Thanks anyway. :-)
