Title: Pools n' Ports Post by: jamwerd16 on January 07, 2014, 06:59:39 PM Hello,
I'm trying to connect to a mining pool, but I get this error: Stratum connection failed: failed connect to <pool URL>:<port number>; no error What does "no error" mean? My best guess this is something to do with the port not being available? I'm not sure though... Checked in cmd with netstat -a, and could not see that the specified port was listening... but not sure if that has any relation to my problem or not. Anybody want to give me a gentle shove in the right direction?

I was trying to mine Dogecoin with pooler cpuminer 2.3.2, I am able to mine Litecoin with Scryptminer, but that uses port 80, which is almost always open from my understanding, I keep thinking maybe it's a port issue... but maybe cause I'm a noob.

If no, it's a probably a problem with your syntax.

it's windows, and it could most likely be a firewall issue. Since this isn't MY computer per se... I don't really want to disable anything if I don't have to, couldn't I just make an exception for the port in the firewall?
