Title: Help: Trying to solo mine namecoins Post by: evlew on July 22, 2011, 03:46:11 AM I have a windows computer running namecoind with the required configurations
I'm trying to connect to it from my linuxcoin rigs with phoenix and am having trouble. I think it has something to do with the URL any suggestions? This is what i'm trying python phoenix.py -u http://rpcuser:rpcpass@ipaddress:port -k phatk DEVICE=0 etc etc Title: Re: Help: Trying to solo mine namecoins Post by: Vince on July 22, 2011, 08:16:22 AM let me make a guess:
you forgot to put server=1 in your bitcoin.conf? edit: you are connecting from another machine, so you also need to set: rpcallowip and rpcconnect Title: Re: Help: Trying to solo mine namecoins Post by: Chris Acheson on July 22, 2011, 05:47:35 PM let me make a guess: you forgot to put server=1 in your bitcoin.conf? bitcoind and namecoind listen for RPC commands even without the server flag. That's all they do, so it doesn't make sense to disable server functionality on them. Quote you are connecting from another machine, so you also need to set: rpcallowip and rpcconnect rpcallowip is probably what needs to be set here. rpcconnect is for using the client as a front-end to a remote bitcoind or namecoind.

I think it has something to do with the URL any suggestions? This is what i'm trying python phoenix.py -u http://rpcuser:rpcpass@ipaddress:port -k phatk DEVICE=0 etc etc Post your bitcoin.conf and any arguments that you're passing to namecoind when you start it.

You should avoid doing this if you can. Setting rpcallowip to * allows connections from anywhere, which means that someone who gets access to your password can empty your wallet. You can have multiple rpcallowip entries, so ideally you should have one for each specific IP address that you want to allow connections from. |
