According to mining.bitcoin.cz, getwork protocol is removed. Use the stratum protocol instead. stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

Getwork protocol support ended. Please be sure your miners support Stratum protocol. You can still use your old getwork miners with Stratum proxy installed on your mining rig.

go to C:\Program Files\Ufasoft\Coin

then in Ext. path on GUIminer enter C:\Program Files\Ufasoft\Coin\bitcoin-miner.exe
