Title: Issues with stats and hosts
Post by: aethernam on February 26, 2015, 11:00:13 PM
Hi everyone and thank you for reading,

I was redirected here to ask my questions, so here it goes.

I am new at this; just set up a couple of computers some days ago and started mining. Im as excited as when I set up my first BBS when I was a teen, more than 20 years ago. Smiley

Anyways, I am trying to figure out those two issues :

1) I dont see any stats showing up on my "workers" page. I have 4 computers running right now and 4 workers. I had success once for some reason and then nothing... heres a copy paste below :

Error    500.0 Mh/s    macbook    ---    ---    ---    ---    ---    ---
Error    5.000 Gh/s    station01    ---    ---    ---    ---    ---    ---
Error    500.0 Mh/s    station02    ---    ---    ---    ---    ---    16 hours, 44 minutes
Error    500.0 Mh/s    worker1    ---    ---    ---    ---    ---    ---

2) I have to use api2.bitcoin.cz:8332 and stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 will not start. I am just wondering if Im doing something wrong. Below here is a copy/paste of my log. Also, I am using Guiminer for its ease of use. Once it is started everything goes smoothly, but as I said, I dont get any stat updates.

If this is a repost of an existing thread feel free to redirect me. Every help is appreciated and I hope to contribute myself some day.

On GPU era, we use ATI not NVIDIA. NVIDIA not good at mining.
Now GPU era already ended dude. You just wasting the power without getting any shares.
That's why you got nothing on the stats.
Today you need asics for mining.

Thank you, I thought about investing in Asics. Especially since electricity bills are not that expensive here in Quebec. Though, I just thought about putting my files/test/etc servers to good use.

Thanks again,
