    Must be a problem in your system. Try rebooting your system or disabling your antivirus or running your command prompt as the administator

    @sambiohazard Ah, problem solved, I missed out step 9's notls. sorry for the trouble!

    I'm getting <5s>:1.031G <avg>:1.029Gh/s 16.9/m, is this ok..? currently its just finding block for pool 0 though.

    May I know how do we close the cgminer correctly? I happen to just click on the x on the right and ended up crashing my com and restarting it >_>...

    In the third window for step 8 always when i paste dcrctl --testnet -u walletuser -P walletpass --wallet getnewaddress --notls it gives me the error no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. I also tried replacing walletuser and walletpass with one i choose in step 1 still didnt work. I think i give up.

    @whis

    When you run the command from step 1, note down the usename and password and use exactly same words for dcrdusername & dcrdpassword

    e.g. if step 1 is
    dcrd --testnet -u daemonuser -P daemonpass --notls

    then Step 5 should be

    dcrwallet -u walletuser -P walletpass --dcrdusername=daemonuser --dcrdpassword=daemonpass --noclienttls --noservertls

    Also when you run dcrwallet note down -u & -P, and use same in step 8

    e.g. if step 5 is

    dcrwallet -u walletuser -P walletpass --dcrdusername=daemonuser --dcrdpassword=daemonpass --noclienttls --noservertls

    then step 8 should be

    1. dcrctl --testnet -u walletuser -P walletpass --wallet getnewaddress --notls

    It seems to be running fine. You would see A= [greater than zero] when your block will be accepted. It took me 47 mins to find my first block with similar hashrate. Also balance only shows after block mature. I think it is 16 confs for testnet.

    Rebooted my machine and also ran my command prompt as the administator.
    Still same problem....
    Maybe I can try it with my wife's laptop, just to create wallet and later on try to install miner on mine again.

    I have no idea what is it you guys are missing. Including me and @MiloIce now 2 people were able to mine using the tutorial. Only thing i can see is confusion between wallet username & password & daemon username and password.

    Daemon username/password is used again in dcrwallet.
    With dcrctl you use usename/password used with wallet and not the daemon.

    Guys, follow the steps again and make sure you entered the same user and password also everything you connect to or sync ending with -notls. This pretty much solved my problem and I hope you guys can get through too!

    Thanks to @sambiohazard for the guide =).

    Do you have both cards in same PC because those look like laptop GPUs to me and i havent seen any laptop with 2 GPUs. Other wise i am not sure why only one gpu will run.

    EDIT: using -d 0 or -d 1 will allow you to choose which card you want to run. Try that.
