Title: getting stuck at "Conecting..." on GuiMiner Post by: Gutbop on June 14, 2011, 11:07:00 AM When I try to start mining, I get stuck at "Connecting..." in the status bar and the miner doesn't start. I already checked that my bitcoin.conf contains the correct username and password. I am using:
GUIMiner version: v2011-06-09 Operating system: Windows 7 64bit Miner backend: Cuda Video card: GTX 260 Server: solo mining on Bitcoin client 0.3.21 Title: Re: getting stuck at "Conecting..." on GuiMiner Post by: taris on June 14, 2011, 11:15:12 AM Guess your bitcoin client is not able to find other peers ..check the options and make sure that it is allowed to check an irc channel for clients.
If that doesn't work i wrote here (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=16630.msg216903#msg216903), that it helped to port forward the bitcoin port to the computer where the client is running Title: Re: getting stuck at "Conecting..." on GuiMiner Post by: Gutbop on June 14, 2011, 12:26:28 PM The bitcoin client says it's connected to 3 peers. I don't see any options to check an irc channel for clients. I've already forwarded the bitcoin port to my ip.
Title: Re: getting stuck at "Conecting..." on GuiMiner Post by: taris on June 14, 2011, 12:33:47 PM ok, i probably mixed it up with the "noirc (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin)" option in the bitcoin.conf file.
Try to use the "addnode" parameter when starting up the client to add another node from the fallbacklist (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Fallback_Nodes). Title: Re: getting stuck at "Conecting..." on GuiMiner Post by: Gutbop on June 14, 2011, 01:36:25 PM Ok, it appears as if I'm much more of a newbie than you. I start up my client by double clicking an exe. How do I use an "addnode" parameter?

I start up my client by double clicking an exe. How do I use an "addnode" parameter? A newbie knows everything ..he/she is just someone who is able to tell the answer later ;)- Right click on the exe-file and "create shortcut" - Right click on the shortcut and edit properties - Add "-addnode <adress>" (where "<address>" is an ip from the Fallback-List (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Fallback_Nodes)) behind the "*.exe" in the textfield of "Target" and hit "ok". - Double-click on the shortcut and the client should start with the new option Title: Re: getting stuck at "Conecting..." on GuiMiner Post by: Gutbop on June 14, 2011, 09:25:09 PM Got it working. I think I just had to launch bitcoin client as server from guiminer. I have a new question now.
How can I see my progress? Or do I just wait for a couple months for bitcoins to appear? |
