Title: new server
Post by: webeldoh on March 02, 2011, 08:07:08 PM
New to Bitcoin and to the community. System went live early Tuesday morning. Have the following output to share:

user@system:/usr/bin/bitcoin-0.3.20/bin/64$ sudo ./bitcoind getinfo
{
    "version" : 32001,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 111413,
    "connections" : 23,
    "proxy" : "",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "difficulty" : 55590.23763914,
    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1299036147,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

Is it reasonable that the system has been running this long and is still not crunching hashes? Just curious... any comments greatly appreciated.

"generate" : false,

May be mistaken, but think that should be true.

Code:
./bitcoind setgenerate true

Much better thank you.

You should know that — depending on your rig, of course — it could literally take years to mine a single block.  You're probably better off if you join a pool (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Pooled_mining).

Cheers,

Running Bitcoin as root is probably a very bad idea.
