If it matters I found:

Prot  Recv-Q  Send-Q  Local Address    Foreign Address    State
tcp   0              0        0.0.0.0:8333      0.0.0.0:*          LISTEN

I know that 8333 is the default bitcoin port.

Good, that's probably bitcoind listening. See if you can find some evidence of tor being installed or running, like the configuration file /etc/tor/torrc. If it is there there is a line in it that indicates the tor socks listener port, which defaults to 9050:


#SocksPort 9050 # what port to advertise for application connections


If this is present and either commented as above (to default to 9050) or set to 9050, see if you can find tor running, otherwise it looks like tor isn't running at all.

tmp # ps -eaf|grep tor

root      3022 11309  0 15:08 pts/4    00:00:00 grep --colour=auto tor

tor      17868     1  0 09:25 ?        00:00:07 /usr/bin/tor -f /etc/tor/torrc --runasdaemon 1 --PidFile /var/run/tor/tor.pid

Hey, thanks for the reply.

I checked the system log, there's no mention of bitcoin.
And actually I realised that as long as I leave the socks proxy unchecked it works fine. As soon as I restart it with the default TOR socks data (127.0.0.1, at port 9050) it stops finding connections (zero), even though I can browse through tor at the same time just fine.

Maybe I could use a different port? But how would I do that still using tor?
Any other suggestions? I feel like I'm in a "This should definitely work, there's no reason it shouldn't, but it doesn't." situation.

I'm running ubuntu 10.04 32-bit.

Do you have anything else working with the Tor socks proxy? For example the browser SeaMonkey can be configured to use it. Check to see if Tor is listening on port 9050 ( in the example below I am using 9100 )

tmp # netstat -an|grep 9100
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:9100          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

The linux distribution you are using would be helpful to know.

I have had bitcoin open and close when it didn't like a setting I had changed in the bitcoin.conf file. You should find the file on at least one of two places, for example:

tmpfs # ls -l /etc/bitcoin/
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root    root    4166 Dec  9 12:29 bitcoin.conf
-rw------- 1 bitcoin bitcoin   80 Aug 21 22:30 bitcoin.conf.ins
-rw-r--r-- 1 root    root    4014 Aug 21 22:36 bitcoin.conf.sample
lnx2 tmpfs # ls -l ~/.bitcoin/
total 1180992
-rw------- 1 root root     24576 Dec 13 09:15 __db.001
-rw------- 1 root root    589824 Dec 13 11:51 __db.002
-rw------- 1 root root    270336 Dec 13 11:51 __db.003
-rw------- 1 root root    163840 Dec 13 11:51 __db.004
-rw------- 1 root root   6307840 Dec 13 11:51 __db.005

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root       113 Aug 23 06:20 bitcoin.conf.minimal
-rw------- 1 root root 820730796 Dec 13 11:28 blk0001.dat
-rw------- 1 root root 328019968 Dec 13 11:28 blkindex.dat
drwx------ 2 root root      4096 Dec 13 08:35 database
-rw------- 1 root root       236 Dec  4 16:09 db.log
-rw------- 1 root root   7961953 Dec 13 11:51 debug.log
-rw------- 1 root root   1503232 Dec 13 09:15 wallet.dat


Also, check the system log, which is often the file /var/log/messages, for example here's a message from mine:

tmpfs # grep bitcoin messages
Dec 13 08:35:43 lnx2 /etc/init.d/bitcoind[6052]: start-stop-daemon: 1 process refused to stop
Dec 13 08:35:43 lnx2 /etc/init.d/bitcoind[6043]: ERROR: bitcoind failed to stop

I have 3 loans going on currently.

One is in the form of a bond traded at GLBSE BIB.goat. Around 340 BTC

The second I used stock as collateral.  40 BTC

The third, I am paying a small amount of interest for something the loaner is providing.  35BTC   (But the seller is loaning me his future hashing power so its a bit tricky)

Smiley
I will look at GLBSE, thank you.

I read about bitcoins on the internet. I just started mining bitcoins but I'm not getting rich very fast, I think I may be losing more money on electricity than I am gaining in bitcoins. What am I doing wrong?
