If necessary could you explain in detail please what steps are necessary when using GUIMiner. Do we have to change the content of the 'servers.ini' file in the guiminer folder? and what changes are advisable?
Thanks
On the same profile you have open for slush in guiminer now:
1. Chose "other" from the server dropdown box instead of slush's pool.
2. Under "Host:" put "api.bitcoin.cz".
3. Make sure Port is 8332
4. Username and password should have been kept from the old profile. If not, just put them in as normal for slush's pool. Same for the flags.
5. That's it.
Thanks, Justsomeforumuser.
What you describe is definitely the solution for the moment I used in one of my machines already and File/save settings will make it stay after a reboot of that system.
But coming back after some weeks to other machines it would be better you could use your GUIMine by intuition what means select 'Slush' and not 'Other' when you want 'Slush'.
To get 'Slush' working with 'api.bitcoin.cz' I guess you have to change the server.ini file in the guiminer folder.
The server.ini file has got server sections, the first one being:
"name": "slush's pool",
"host": "mining.bitcoin.cz",
"url": "http://mining.bitcoin.cz",
"port": 8332,
"balance_token_url": "http://mining.bitcoin.cz/accounts/token-manage/",
"balance_host": "mining.bitcoin.cz",
"balance_url": "/accounts/profile/json/%s"
where you have to exchange 'api' for 'mining' as I guess, correct?
Unfortunately it is necessary because I need to split site/mining traffic to improve firewall rules.
So I'll teach my machines to visit "api.bitcoin.cz" instead of "mining.bitcoin.cz" - Thanks Slush
