thank you for the tip. I used the preset settings, perhaps they are out of date, but have now entered that manually (let's see if it makes a difference!)
(edit before even posting: thanks for the definite. I didn't manage to find out about stratum compatibility but have now entered the settings you've given)
I realise that CPU mining's day has been and gone, I just wanted to try stuff out and join in (I believe, perhaps wrongly, that mining is still a necessary part of the whole thing functioning?) But thanks for the warning;)
happy to help and its always worth playing around with it on hardware you have just to get an idea of it.
mining is an important part of bitcoin but theres that much hashing power out there that it would take some serious government powers to disturb it
i wish someone would update guiminer even if it was for the simple things like updated pool info.
some pools are the same but alot of the setting are outdated now
