Title: Orphan BLocks
Post by: marks1976 on May 17, 2012, 09:54:01 PM
I have been mining on ecoinpool a private pool now for two months.  I have found 2 different BTC blocks and both blocks show as orphaned and nothing to show for my work.  Any ideas why I am getting orphan blocks?  How do I fix this problem?  Instead of mining earning nothing I think I am better off mining a regular pool since I have no payouts with 2 blocks found.

I have posted it in mining and was told it needs to go here.  So here is where I put it.

Its merged mining of BTC/NMC ? OK, this would fit in both Forums. Sorry.

EDIT: 2 Months mining for nothing ? Ouch, that hurts.  :'(
I suggest using one of the big, popular Pools... like http://mining.bitcoin.cz/
This one worked just fine for me.

It wasn't totally in there I have that set as my backup pool.  I send my hash through gpumax.

lol i guess whoever told you that doesnt know that ecoinpool is pool server software
anyway, I said over in the other thread
sounds like the version of bitcoind you are using has no bip16 support
update urgently

:D
