Title: hasherspersec = 0?
Post by: oneprotect on September 07, 2011, 09:34:03 AM
Hi.

I'm having a shot at bitcoin mining on my computer. I've set up bitcoind and it's downloaded all the blocks. I'm currently mining at 39MHashes/s on my NVIDIA GPU with poclbm (using GUIMiner), but bitcoind says that I am currently mining at 0 hashes per sec. Why is this, and have I done something wrong? I did an hour of Googling but couldn't find any answers.

Also, what does Accepted mean? (Please see below screenshot: Accepted 12 (12)).

Thanks!

bitcoind:
Code:
./bitcoind getinfo
{
    "version" : 32400,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 144337,
    "connections" : 15,
    "proxy" : "",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "difficulty" : 1777774.48200146,
    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1315296647,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

Thanks again! ^^

Hi,

You are mining just fine with GUIminer.  :)
HashesPerSec on bitcoind is for solo miners only, people who mine bitcoins outside of a pool.
There are no problems there, you are mining perfectly.

Accepted means how many shares your miner has actually accepted, and have actually generated Bitcoins. (which is good!)

Please PM me if you need further help.

Thanks,
YSoliman

The 'bitcoind' program itself is doing zero hashes per second. The 'accepted 16' count indicates the number of shares that were accepted. If you're solo mining, accepted shares are worthless. If you're mining in a pool, accepted shares are what earn you payouts.
