Windows + ufasoft - bitcoin-miner
Im using a 3 years old machine (it did not have any problems connecting to mining.bitcoin.cz, except when it was totally blocked by firewall)
Yes, internet connection is stable.

I tried deepBit, and mining.bitcoin.cz.

Any other(s) I should try ?
(Is there a list of all of them ?)

Hi all.

I want to do some pooled mining.
I have 2 locations from which I can do it -
1 - from home - I can connect to anywhere.
2. - on other sites - I have a mobile connection that blocks some sites.

Fact- I can connect to home from any site, and I run SQUID proxy on a linux box there.

Question:
Is there a way to configure the proxy to be used with the miners ?
Im currently using CPU mining with ufasoft - bitcoin-miner -
is there a way to configure it to use a proxy ?

I want it to use a named proxy for example ABCD.XYZ and a proxy port like I use for web browser -
My web browser accepts the proxy to be ABCD.XYZ:6540, and passes the requests to any server:port through this proxy.

Oh, another thing is - the proxy is protected by user-password.

Hope my explanation / request is clear enough

Many Thanks

Im new to this BitCoin thing.
In the last few days I tried several pools
(since I understood that a stand-alone mine, will never get anything with the hardware available to me).

I have problems with a few (firewall probably)
(for example with mining.bitcoin.cz - Is there a way to configure a proxy ? how ?  - but this is another subject)

So I tried using DeepBit - which I can connect to, but I get a lot, and I mean a LOT of errors, and time outs.
for example:
Error 801901F7
Error 80072EFD:  A connection with the server could not be established
Error 80072EE2:  The operation timed out

I do establish connection, and I can do work, and the work is accepted,
but - a LOT of time is spent waiting, and recovering these errors.

Is there a problem with the server ?
Is there a problem on my side ?
(I tried from several sites, with different ISP, and different network configuration,
but got the same behavior)

Many Thanks in advance.
