Title: How do i know it's defintly working?
Post by: Mobotek on June 06, 2011, 09:38:43 PM
I just realized that i dont even know if its actually working... Like I have my Bitcoin.org program running but there really is no info on there that I can its doing anything... The only thing I can tell us from my GUIMiner that says its going at 896 M/Hash/s. If there a tool or anything in the Bitcoin app to show me what its working on?

are you solo mining or pool mining?

With 896MH/s you are probably better off pool mining

Well thanks for the confidence... I will be having so friends join me as well so that will be boosting in the 2-3G/Hashs/s. I am doing Solo with so friends and over time I will be building more machines... So in the mean time how do I know this is working?

Really you're better off pool mining.  There are pools with 0 fees.  Why do you want to mine solo?

Down the road I want to start my own Pool... I am just trying to learn how everything works and exacty what the program is doing. So I would like to know how do I know what work is being done and how can I see what work is being done by the bitcoin program. I dont really care what I should be doing right now, I just want to know how I know its working.

I also would like to know if there is a way to see similar stats when solo mining like you are able to with the pools. getinfo gives some limited info, but nothing that lets you know you are actually getting anywhere solo mining.

If its hashing and you get a response when sending 'getinfo' then its working. I agree though it would be nice to be able to see the blocks being hashed like with pool mining.
