ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack I am giving this a try to see if I can do bitcoin mining. I took a Windows laptop and installed GUIMiner on it. I then connected to bitminter pool on http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 using my ID. When I click to start Mining, I get this message "ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack". The summary then says "connection problems".

What am I doing wrong?
I was getting this error. Like the above answer states, I checked my password, saw that it was longer than it should have been and changed it, then quit getting the error. At least for me, it was a wrong username/password.
