Title: bfg wont proxy
Post by: phazon307 on November 29, 2013, 07:24:24 AM
I have tried many things first let me tell you my set up I have 4 USB miners running Icarus options in blade configuration menu I have ports 8332,8332 my ip in the server 192.168.0.x and dns and gateway are set the same 192.168.0.x I tried adding --http-port 8332 in the location in properties when I add that close y bfgminer and open it again it just opens it and closes. If someone could give an absolute nebs guide to getting this thing running it would be greatly appreciated. Remember I am a newb.

I can't see it being an issue. Try the instructions from the other thread and see if it works. Should only take a minute to test.

I have tried that there has to be a way to get this to work everyone else gets it to work so I must be doing something wrong it just takes forever on a forum so it's a slower process than say phone or IM.

So you got stratum_proxy running and pointed at your pool. Your blades are pointed at the machine running the proxy? And the gateway is set right on the blade?

no this is what I have tried in blade configuration page I have the blades ip 192.168.0.24 in the subnet mask I have 255.255.255.0 in default gateway I have 192.168.0.1 same as my router and dns server is the same. in my servers I have 192.168.0.x,192.168.0.x in ports I have 8332,8332 user name and pass is basic. in Bfgminer I put in the script example bfgminer -o pool user pass Icarus options when I tried putting --http-port 8332 bfgminer just opens and closes when I click on it I have also tried getting rid of he Icarus options and adding --http-port 8332 same thing opens and closes.

Okay. Try this other thing.

Download slush's stratum proxy - http://mining.bitcoin.cz/mining-proxy-howto

Open a command line

cd to the download folder

run 'mining_proxy.exe -o us.eclipsemc.com -p 333 -gp 8332'

You may have to hit 'Switch Server' on your config page. Let me know how that works.
