Title: Trying to use ScryptMiner GUI with Feathercoin pool
Post by: Lethn on May 06, 2013, 07:19:19 AM
I signed up to https://featherpool.com/ and I've tried following the instructions but the miner so far refuses to work, I get the following errors:

Quote
HTTP request failed: necessary data rewind wasn't possible

Quote
json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds


What my config file looks like:

Quote
threads=4
scantime=5
url=http://featherpool.com:/
username=Lethn
password=xxxx
port=9999
miningPoolIndex=0
poolApiKey=c7045a618260d90fe2fee9c549a23dcbab216c1d1bd130f76fd323b3ad01ce96

I'm using the ScryptMiner GUI that they provide.

Try removing the colon at the end of the URL in your config

LOL! Thanks! That's what I get for not checking things over carefully.

Edit: It's working fine now, my only problem is I'm only getting at most 6.0 k/hash at best, so I'm probably going to have to look for some AMD settings somewhere >_<

Bumping, if it's okay guys I'd like some parameters to mess with because I tried searching around and couldn't find an answer for why I'm getting such low K/hashes on a 6970.

Well how dumb of me, I was trying to set up a CPU miner to mine on a GPU, I'm using GUIMiner now and it's working great.
