Getting Started
From Eligius
Eligius does not require or support registration of any kind if you just want to mine Bitcoins. Just use your Bitcoin address as your username. Any password will work. Please be sure to pass a valid address as your username, as incorrect usernames will be silently ignored and earnings will be kept by the pool.
Do not use Instawallet addresses with Eligius!
OPTIONAL: If you wish to mine decentralized (making your own work), be sure you are using a GBT-capable miner (like BFGMiner).
