Title: diagnosing connection problems Post by: wcrax on April 09, 2013, 11:26:26 AM Hey everyone... Im new to the bitcoin scene and was wondering if someone could assist me in an issue I am having. Im running a 7950 and am currently working with deepbit. I am also using the GUIMiner software... for some reason I am getting very erratic MH/s values. Its suppose to stay right around 500 but it randomly drops to 250 and recovers and repeats. I am also seeing alot of "Connection problem" messages in the speed column.
As a test, I jumped over to triplemining for a little bit and it was rock solid for days. Constantly around 500 and I never saw a connection issue. Is this my issue or something with deepbit and should look elsewhere? Thanks for the help everyone!

It will time out or something with "Connection problems" and then I have to hit "Stop" and then "Start" and it works fine for a short while, then repeat.
Thankfully I have a backup so im not wasting anything but I would like to keep it 50/50 between the two pools. Any ideas or alternative miners I could use? Am I the only one with issues connecting to deepbit on a consistent basis?

Title: Re: diagnosing connection problems Post by: Signus on April 18, 2013, 08:07:30 PM I suggest using anything other than GUIMiner. While it's a simple solution, it has its problems (like lower hashrates). I suggest using bfgminer or cgminer.
Title: Re: diagnosing connection problems Post by: wcrax on April 19, 2013, 03:05:01 AM Yeah the interesting part is that it works great with triplemining... no idea.
I"ll try BFGMiner thanks for the heads up... hopefully I Can run both still with that one.

I was trying to mine PPC with coinotron and kept getting longpoll IO errors was lucky to mine for 10-15min at a time, I switched pool's using same prog & settings and never had an issue, I thought it was cgminer....

Triplemining is a nontrusted pool. It not only has connection problems randomly but also seems to be keeping some blocks for himself according to the pool stats thread. Try joining any other pool. |
