I personally wouldn't solo, but that's up to you. Title: Re: Cant mine bitcoins Post by: Gullanian on June 13, 2011, 09:01:11 PM How do I make it get connections? It's just doing nothing.
Title: Re: Cant mine bitcoins Post by: NothinG on June 13, 2011, 09:04:05 PM In your settings (bitcoin.exe) there should be a setting about UPnP; make sure that's checked.
If you want to mine as a pool look at https://deepbit.net/ or http://www.btcguild.com/ Title: Re: Cant mine bitcoins Post by: Gullanian on June 13, 2011, 09:07:22 PM Cheers, UNP setting fixed it! I'm aware a mining pit yields consistent gains, I'm a bit of a gambler and don't mind mining for 1-2 months for nothing for the chance of a 50 BC bounty :)

I'm aware a mining pit yields consistent gains, I'm a bit of a gambler and don't mind mining for 1-2 months for nothing for the chance of a 50 BC bounty :) That's probably the best game with some slower computers.At my rate it would probably take me anywhere from 20-31 days to get 1 BTC. Might be safer just to solo it and gamble. Title: Re: Cant mine bitcoins Post by: blooder900 on June 13, 2011, 09:58:17 PM Very helpful topic :)
I, however, prefer a steadier income of BTC's. Is deepbit the best mining pool? Title: Re: Cant mine bitcoins Post by: NothinG on June 13, 2011, 11:53:25 PM Very helpful topic :) I did some testing with the current PPS (0.00007931496901107 per share) and at the current difficulty at an average rate of 2min and 30 seconds per share; it would take on average 20 days to get 1 BTC.I, however, prefer a steadier income of BTC's. Is deepbit the best mining pool? I did the same math and I got about half per share without using any donations @ BTCGuild. |
