Title: Miner problem
Post by: Wooly4 on May 22, 2011, 04:28:04 PM
Hi all, new to these forums.

I'm having a problem with my miner, when I try to use the batch file I wrote I get an error message saying 'Windows cannot find host= deepbit.net' .
Heres the miner

start /DC:\poclbm\poclbm.exe --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=xxxxx --pass=xxxxxx --device=0

any ideas? Thanks in advance

You need a space between poclbm\ and poclbm.exe

start /DC:\poclbm\ poclbm.exe --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=xxxxx --pass=xxxxxx --device=0

alrite thanks, now it just instantly closes, I tried adding --system("pause")   at the end and that didnt help either. Thanks for help, I'm not much of a programmer, and GUI miner seems to think 4850s dont have OpenCL.

Add a new line after the last just containing "pause" without citation and it should leave you with a "Press any key to continue..." and hopefully the error output of your miner.

Edit:
And try with the entire mining path + parameters in citation.

Like this:
Code:
start /D "C:\poclbm\" "poclbm.exe --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=xxxxx --pass=xxxxxx --device=0"
pause
