Title: Warning: work queue empty, miner is idle. How do I fix this? Post by: Machoxtaco on June 18, 2011, 11:54:19 AM http://k.min.us/jbekD2.png
I tried other sites but I get the same thing! I am trying deepbit at that screen shot. I have no anti virus and no fire wall. I have no idea what is going on.

framing other pools, this doesnt seem to happen. anyone has a solution? Title: Re: Warning: work queue empty, miner is idle. How do I fix this? Post by: Bert on June 30, 2011, 09:28:19 AM It happens when the pool server(s) are under a Denial Of Service attack. The larger the pool the more often it happens, because some people are concerned that Bitcoins will devalue if any pool gains more than 50% of the computing power (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Weaknesses#Attacker_has_a_lot_of_computing_power). Or it can happen if the pool's server(s) are having problems. There is nothing you can do on your client to fix it.
What I do is have a secondary and tertiary pool. So if my primary pool is idle I switch to the next pool. It does mean that you will end up with Bitcoins spread across a few pools, but it also mean that you are mining the whole time. |
