Title: need some help w/ diablominer Post by: kdvicious on September 16, 2011, 08:11:30 PM hi all,
brand new to bitcoin and mining, i tried to setup diablominer on a macbook pro (from what i understand, not the best performer) anyway, i keep getting this error: [9/16/11 4:11:39 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:11:45 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:11:49 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:11:49 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:11:55 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:11:59 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:11:59 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out 2956/3123 khash/sec any thoughts? thanks in advance. Title: Re: need some help w/ diablominer Post by: kjj on September 16, 2011, 08:17:55 PM Are you connecting to a pool, or to a local bitcoind? If a pool, double check the host, port, username and password you are using. If local, make sure it is set to accept RPC connections and double check that the bitcoind RPC username and password match the username and password of your miner.

mining.bitcoin.cz i initially tried that as the host, now i am trying api.bitcoin.cz which is also listed on that site. here's what's happening: Starting DiabloMiner (GPU)... ----------------------------- [9/16/11 4:21:17 PM] Started [9/16/11 4:21:17 PM] Connecting to: http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332/ [9/16/11 4:21:19 PM] Added GeForce 8600M GT (#1) (4 CU, local work size of 256) [9/16/11 4:21:25 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:21:30 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:21:35 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:21:35 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:21:40 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:21:45 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:21:45 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out [9/16/11 4:21:52 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out 2767/3276 khash/sec Title: Re: need some help w/ diablominer Post by: kjj on September 16, 2011, 08:39:45 PM Go back to mining.bitcoin.cz, keep the port at 8332. I just switched one of my miners over to it for testing, and it worked fine.
Make sure that you have a worker registered on the site, and that you are putting the right username and password for the worker into your mining client. If you aren't absolutely sure you have it right, copy and paste them right out of the Workers section of your profile on the website. Title: Re: need some help w/ diablominer Post by: kdvicious on September 16, 2011, 08:54:43 PM did exactly what you said, even tried it with a new worker. same error message:

It should ask for your username and password. Put in the username and password for your worker. You should get back some JSON data.
If your browser can't connect at all, you have a connection problem to solve. If it rejects your username and password, you aren't using the right ones. If it all works, you have a firewall that is blocking the diablo application from connecting out.

It's been running for 5 minutes, no errors like last time and it says:
