Title: stratum wtf?
Post by: Badewahn on April 19, 2013, 10:11:59 AM
i started yesterday mining with guiminer which seems to be the only one i can install under windows without sth like a interface for unix to compile the miners (dont want to read myelf through all these commands)
so i use guiminer with cuda for nvidia. the miner has no startum support in cuda mode. my pool aks for stratum ( i read sth about it, it seems like this new protocol seems to need lower traffic and the server has much more controle of what my rig is doing)
so i failed to install a miner with cuda and stratum so i tried a stratum proxy. it sais ill get more shares with the stratum protocol than with the getwork protocol which i am actually using. with getwork ill get 1 share every 7-8 mins, with stratum nothing in 1 hour. i tried this a few times and got the same results as every time.

any idea whats the problem?
the only thing i know about unix is to type in the commandline(if someone highly recommends to use another miner, i downloaded bfgminer and i looked in ufasoft miner, but i am clearly to stupid to use one of them :/

i would like to use stratum protocol, but if i find much less than with getwork its useless for me.
i hope someone understands the shit out of my brain and has a solution for me.
wallet prog is bitcoinqt if this could be important.

if you cant help i thank you for reading

I have Nvidia graphics cards, I have them as OpenCL miners in guiminer and they connect to stratum automatically, maybe try that.

this "pool" seems only to process transactions, did they stop doing blocks?

it could be the difficulty? i think it's set too high for your hashrate, so you are not getting any shares
