Title: poclbm throwing exceptions after update [solved]
Post by: chrnit on July 05, 2011, 08:31:04 PM
hi folks

i once followed this guide http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7514.0 and now wanted to update poclbm.
so i did a 'git clone git://github.com/sheriff/poclbm poclbm'.
now when i start mining it seems to work somehow but i get the following error:

bitparking.com:9098 05/07/2011 22:27:02, long poll exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/x/poclbm/BitcoinMiner.py", line 338, in longPollThread
    (connection, result) = self.request(connection, url, self.headers)
  File "/home/x/poclbm/BitcoinMiner.py", line 311, in request
    result = loads(response.read())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 326, in loads
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 360, in decode
    obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 378, in raw_decode
    raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

can anybody help?

You'd probably get better response if you ask in the Mining software section, but the newest poclbm seems to work fine when I enter the example command from bitparking.com. Also, to update you should have run "git pull" in the poclbm directory, not clone.
