documentaries arent always true tho , i dont live in the us i live in europe , and ive never heard about such thing.
Maybe, but because this particular one goes against a noisy minorities political point of veiw doesn't make if false either. What difference does living in Europe make? The Documentary I'm talking about is called Pandora's Promise. It is a facile explanation of the subject, but it wasn't intended to be an in depth technical explanation either. I wish it were, I like the technology portion of these topics much better myself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora%27s_PromiseWikipedia actually has a nice article with allot of links to the different topic brought up in it. I'm still reading through them.

Please allow me to expand my question, do I need to open any specific ports for cgminer to talk to ckpool.org? Thanks for helping a noob.
No you do not. You are having some other kind of trouble, and it is not really clear what that trouble is. I opened TCP port 3333 to outgoing traffic on my firewall and PRESTO, I'm mining! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thank you so much to everyone who answered my questions. You restrict outgoing traffic? Ok... that's unusual but perhaps windows needs all the security help it can get so I guess it does that by default and I didn't predict it. Yea, I have the firewall on my router set up pretty aggressively I guess, nothing that windows did by default, it's how I have the hardware configured, call me paranoid. Now to figure out how to mine with more than once device at a time. Baby steps... They all go out to port 3333 (unless you specify otherwise) so there shouldn't need to be any more router changes at least I would think. Unless you allowed only that first machine to use that TCP Port. If your mining from a second machine you may need to add another rule allowing the second IP to use that port too.

Really looking forward to all of the nuclear and coal plants being shut down.
I fully agree with the coal plants being shut down. But why nuclear? We can now build nuclear plants that generate no waste and do not melt down. That makes them clean and safe. Also material from old nuke weapons are being used in nuclear reactors. What an excellent way of getting rid of these dangerous weapons. we can build nuclear plants that generate no waste ? ! O_o what the fk have i missed please link me to an article or smth os2sam apparently drank the Koolaid (jim jones brand, not to be confused with the stuff john lennon was drinking when he wrote imagine) and is just regurgitating the propaganda that he was told. US just dropped 50billion on 2 nuclear plants that will probably never produce any energy(too dangerous to run, every nuclear plant should have been shut down years ago), for the same money we could put up twice as much solar power and have it all running in less than a year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUPPWIzuOR0There is nothing stopping people from putting up solar panels and grid tied systems. I was on track to do the same myself before I got laid off a few years ago due the the economy and cutbacks. But it just isn't cost efficient for utility companies to go all solar, if it were they certainly would have. As for the documentary, while it was a pro nuclear one, as they stated up front, the technology has improved allot, there is just no denying that. Not sure what plants your talking about but I would like to find out. Solar is a great solution for home owners. But to put up enough panels to power a city would be impossible.

Hello i am trying to redirect my miners from stratum-proxy to stratum-tcp// solo but is not working any clues?
2015-02-20 10:43:09,010 WARN [Pool-Ghash 1-Thread]:strat.mining.stratum.proxy.manager.ProxyManager - Pool Ghash 1 is DOWN.

Any help from the admin here? The issue might have something to do with the offending "Ghash" part. Looks like he's asking for help to get GHash.io to work for him. Just not clear as to what he's asking.

O_o what the fk have i missed please link me to an article or smth I saw it on a documentary. There is a new type of, yet to be built, breeder reactor that continually reuses the fuel for the life of the plant. I was reading on wikipedia, a little, and hadn't found an exact reference yet. But reactor technology has came a long way and the United States is behind it seems.

Millions of gas vehicles is not cleaner than running the electric equivalent.
In places where electricity is generated by coal, electric cars put 3.5 time more pollutants in the environment than gasoline powered cars and most electricity is generated by coal. How many people research and see how electricity is generated where the live? Cities where they use Hydro I guess it would be a good idea. But that is the exception and not the rule.

I am counting Nuclear due to the reason at current technical advancements and current rate of consumption we have 200 years left with our uranium, with the newer models and the possibility of thorium being used seems to not be an issue or at least in the same category as the large pollution fossil fuels.
Only 200 years of Uranium left? Never heard that. Are you talking about Uranium still in the ground? Or the waste from current reactors that can be used in the yet to be built new generation reactors? Also don't forget about that Plutonium from decommissioned nuclear weapons is being used in newer reactors.

On the subject of electric cars, where electricity is generated by coal, which is the overwhelming majority of electric generation, 3.5 times the amount of pollutants are put in the air than if you used a standard gas car.
Funny how gas is cleaner than electric, in most places.
Here is the most recent breakdown for 2013: Coal 39% Natural Gas 27% Nuclear 19% Hydropower 7% Other Renewable 6% Biomass 1.48% Geothermal 0.41% Solar 0.23% Wind 4.13% Petroleum 1% Other Gases < 1% So yeah Coal has a bit but not that much,but renewable resources give us 38.25% so about just as much as coal so it is pretty even. What are you calling renewable? By my count from your list the renewables are less than 20%, I didn't think they were that high. Nuclear might be considered a renewable, but as far as I know none of the Breeder/4th generation reactors have been built which could continually reuse the fuel for the life of the reactor.

You can start by posting in the BTC Guild thread so that Eleuthria will see your question. There is also support email address on the website, but I would start in the proper support thread first.

Back to Slush's pool support thread, right? Most pool support is through Pools support threads here on Bitcointalk.org

Yeah, thanks. I realised what I'd done and tried to delete the post but the system prevented me. I re-posted under Pools with the subject prepended with "Slush's Pool"
Thanks for the heads-up.
Well that's better, but it would be best to post in the Slush thread. I don't use Slush so I'm not sure how it works but I've heard that it is a scored proportional system so your calculations are not exactly proportional to each round solved. Good Luck.

Are you talking about a pool? If so which one? There is no context to your post otherwise.

![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Pool 0 stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 not responding Ohhh EDit: resuming, that was quick! There was no interruption at the pool end so you probably had a problem somewhere downstream from the pool. Mine failed over too. Don't know for how long though.

I know, but, the question is that will it recognize my device? I'm starting to think that whoever sold me this sold me a broken device. The LED is on, but all my comps immediately say that they can't install win usb on it.
Reboot and try again. It is Windoze after all ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I had the same issue intermittently. Make sure you have local administrator rights on the account your logging in with for the install.
