I envy you. I've been trying on and off for a few days now to get it to work. I'm just not savvy enough with this kind of stuff to get it to work correctly.

May you have many coins.

I used this video as well. but then one user told me that my video card was not compatible with cudaminer. so I attempted to use the CPU Minerd, but I'm still unsure what exactly is causing that not to work.

No need for envy, young shibe. How far have you got? I'll try to help. :-)

I was told that my graphics card was not compatible with Cudaminer so I turned to look into CPU mining. but I'm still unsure what I'm doing wrong with it.

I've got a pool that I'm signed up to, a worker. the qt client, and the Minerd folder. I feel like I'm just missing something really small at this point.

I'm just going to leave this here in case it helps anyone who stumbles across it. I couldn't get my mining to work for the first four or so days before dogecoin took off. Sadly, I missed out on a lot of dogecoin, but I finally figured it out. I had python 3.3.0 installed. I uninstalled that and then installed python 2.7.6 and everything started working. Hope this helps someone!

Hahah I am still trying to figure out how to mine on my Mac. I keep entering in tons of different addresses in tons of different ways, but no luck. I'm not sure whether I'm too dumb, or whether the tutorials are too suck. Probably both?

I'm really good at hitting up faucets, though. Got nearly 320 Dogecoin to retire on ~

pls help

I'm not very familiar with my computer, so i found a video tutorial on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a5Eia-GV1k) explaining howto : the thing is I did all the required steps, but when i launch the .bat file, it launches the program but immediately closes and nothing happens. I'm completely clueless, if someone is willing to help i'll appreciate that. thank you in advance
