Title: bitcoin.exe/bitcoind.exe on win32 and more than 9 miners Post by: spiccioli on November 15, 2011, 08:02:50 PM Hi all,
is there someone here using bitcoin as a server on win32 to solo mining with more than 9 miners? I'm trying, but it dies after a few hours/minutes with an exception. This is on a windows xp pc. Any help appreciated. spiccioli.

Best regards. spiccioli. ps. No problems whatsoever with cpu, space on disk, network drivers.

Apply one of the many available (re-branded LVLord scripts or whatever) TCP/IP Patches and nuke the 10 half-open limit and up it to 100 (or something close to that) and see if that helps. What does your bitcoin.conf file look like ? What is the MAX RPC Connection limit ? RPC Timeout Value ? My 'Solo Server' is also a Windows box, but in Server 2008 32bit flavour and I run 15+ cards, with 2-3 threads per card (using CGMiner) to it without any problems, although it took me some time to fine tune things - but it works great now. Start with the basics above and make sure all bases are covered.

Start with the basics above and make sure all bases are covered. Hi bitlane, no, it is not the 10 half-open tcp/ip connection limit, I did increase that limit to 256 with no differences at all. You can see my .conf file here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51567.msg614525#msg614525 In the end I installed a linux PC and now everything works ok. Thanks. spiccioli. |
