Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys/gals,

So I am trying to figure out how to mine.  I keep getting "Can't connect to Bitcoin: Server redirected too many times (20)" Is this just me or is it an issue on deepbit.net's side?  ???


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

same issue here - had a look using wireshark and here's what's getting redirected:

GET /listenChannel HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Java/1.6.0_24
Host: deepbit.net
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2
Connection: keep-alive

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-length: 0
Location: /listenChannel
Set-Cookie: [REDACTED]=[REDACTED]; path=/;

Connection: close


I'm also seeing an HTTP post getting redirected as follows:

POST /listenChannel HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic [REDACTED]
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: application/json
User-Agent: Java/1.6.0_24

Connection: keep-alive

^ get rid of the trailing / if that's what you inputted manually, (havn't used Diablo before)

I suspect a server overload here.

I have the same command line that worked before not working today.

(Not that I really know what's wrong of course.)

I have tried the direct IP as well as the pit prefix.

You suspected right, it is working tonight.  thanks  :)

Just to clarify, it wasnt a server overload, Tycho has said in a couple threads that Diablo miner was tripping the new DDoS protection. That was the problem.

Thank you for the clarification.  ;)
