Hi guys.

 A couple of years ago, i setup a pair of ASIC USB miners on a usb hub. The software running them was CGminer - I had a string in the shortcut that set all the params (login, usb id etc etc)

Well, friend said i should try Avast anti-virus....... HOLY COW, the damn thing HATES BTC!!! It removed all my shortcuts, software, backups... EVERYTHING that had bitcoin core i guess.

well, trying to setup the 2 miners now, I just cannot for the life of me get the string right (or even working)

they are on COM14 & COM26, I'm trying to use slush's pool

The CGminer version is 4.9.1, but I'm SURE i was using 3.1 before? Just cant find it to download it.

can anyone help with the string & possibly cgminer version?

Thanks

you can shut down Bitcoin Core and start it back up with the zapwallettxes option to remove the transaction from your wallet so that it can't broadcast it any more.  If you do that, and the transaction has not yet confirmed, then you will see the bitcoins back in your balance.

Thanks,
 I used the option you gave above on a restart, once it had checked the blocks.. the BTC had indeed appeared back in my wallet

I've resent it, using the fee the wallet said - any ideas on time for first confirmation? (saying now, broadcast through 12 nodes)

Again, Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply,

NO, I'm not the receiver. I sold the BTC and its just not arrived/no confirmations.

so would it eventually find its way to the buyer?

Hi Guys,
 Sent only my second ever BTC for a payment on 06/06/16 (first was done via mntgox)

only I seem to have sent it with a ZERO fee

its been a few days (during which I've been able to see the address is being used), however, this morning, apart from my wallet - I can find NO record of my transaction at all

Will the missing BTC find its way back to me, or is it lost?

Anyone able to tell me whats going on please?

Thanks

Already done both

Un-installed, re-installed, sworn, cursed etc etc - still to no avail.

So, time to pick another pool where maybe they offer thier own support site, not via a general mining forum.

Anyone know of a well rated mining pool please?

Thanks

Bump!

Any help, or should i just dump Slush's pool and go elsewhere?

Hi Guys,
