Title: Noob Question / Getting Started
Post by: MightySheep on November 29, 2013, 08:56:30 AM
ok so I've got a multibit wallet, I made an account/worker on https://eclipsemc.com

I extracted bfgminer, created 'StartMining.bat' which has this line of text: bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://eu.eclipsemc.com:3333 -u (my worker) -p (my password)

This is what I see when I run it, is it supposed to look like that? I've been following this (https://forums.butterflylabs.com/showwiki.php?title=Tutorials:Getting+Started+With+CGminer+BFGminer) tutorial and their screenshot looks different

I'm not entirely sure if the pool I used is valid, if anyone can confirm that I am actually mining or tell me if I've missed something, I would appreciate it

"Pool 0 is hiding block contents from us"

That is just bfgminer nagging you that the pool is not fully transparent because it is not spamming you with shitloads of transaction data that the miner just doesn't need at all.
