  This generally indicates something wrong in the manual flags bit - what have you set in the miner settings panel?

  Did you setup your pool? It means there's something wrong with the config file you see if you look at edit config manually in miner settings panel - be careful for curly quotes, it won't work with those!

  There's nothing in the edit config manually... I don't think I put in a pool address though... didn't know how or what to put in. Still don't.

  One more thing... how safe is this for my computer?

  CPU/GPU mining probably decreases the lifespan of your computer, keep an eye on temperatures especially in MacBooks and iMacs

  Depends on the model, usually works but still risky!

  Depends on the GPU - to be honest if you want to try out an easy entry to mining try QuarkCoin which is CPU mining only
