Title: RPCMiner on Mac Error - HELP!
Post by: OferAb on June 14, 2011, 09:08:03 PM
Hey guys new to the site/bitcoin world.
I am using a Mac and RPCMiner and get the same error every time I start up the mining process.
Starting RPCminer (CPU)...
--------------------------
Client will start 2 miner threads
Work will be refreshed every 4000 ms
Could not retrieve work from RPC server.
CURL return value = 22
Could not retrieve work from RPC server.
CURL return value = 22
Could not retrieve work from RPC server.
CURL return value = 22
Could not retrieve work from RPC server.
CURL return value = 22
Could not retrieve work from RPC server.
CURL return value = 22
No blocks are being hashed right now.  This can happen if the application is
still starting up, you supplied incorrect parameters, or there is a
communications error connecting to the RPC server.

does anybody know what i am doing wrong or what the problem is? thank you in advance for all your help!!!

Are you solo mining or do you connect to a pool?

If the later:
Are you behind a firewall?

Yes to pool, no to firewall.

Do you have to create a worker in your pool?
If so did you use the worker username and password to connect?
