Title: internet speed
Post by: flexgroo on December 06, 2013, 06:21:43 AM
hi after all my looking around on what box i want to buy, i started to think on how the miners accually connect to the internet, some sites are blocked on our network and we get messages like this....

    The link you are accessing has been blocked by the Barracuda Web Filter because it contains content belonging to the category of: Streaming Media

and that was going to youtube....

Can someone help me out here so i can ask the IT guy if i can even access through a miner to mine, most all game sites, and youtube even pron sites are blocked here

thanks again

are you trying to steal electricity from work?  LOL

just test the pools yourself.  Run a mining program, even w/o any miners it'll still connect to the pool

naa we dont pay for electricty while we are deploy to afghanistan hhehe, but i did just ping this address and i think it will allow mt to mine, as soon as i can find a cpu miner that works

ping stratum.btcguild.com:3333 did not ping, but stratum.btcguild.com did without the port
