Solo mining - Nothing gets accepting - Difficulty 1 hashes 0

[yoake]

Hi, I'm using GUIMiner.

When I use a public pool, my accepted data ticks off pretty steadily, perhaps once or twice a minute.

But when I do solo, nothing ever gets accepted.

I see Difficulty 1 hashes 0, in the bottom left. On the bottom right the MH/s looks good.

In the Summary tab, Accepted and Stale are 0 there as well.

I see, thanks.

Do you know why the difficulty is 1? It sounds like that's either the easiest difficulty or the hardest.

Doesn't mean anything to my knowledge. Probably a function that doesn't work yet.

Diffculty 1 Hash 0. The zero should be going up. What is your hash speed?

135MH/s

That's how pools work, AFAIK; they send out difficulty=1 hashes for your miner to solve, and there's a certain chance that a difficulty=1 solution will also be a solution for the current, higher, difficulty. Basically, the shares you submit to the pool server are your proof-of-work, just like the full-difficulty hash is the pool's proof-of-work for the full block chain.

Q: I'm having trouble solo mining using the 0.3.22 Bitcoin client. Why?
A: This is a known issue, see this thread for more info. Reverting to 0.3.21 or earlier seems to fix the problem.

@mollari, okay, I'll try to understand that.

@swucs2, I'm using the new 0.3.23beta

Oops, I didn't notice you were mining solo - what I wrote doesn't really apply here, then, sorry for that
