New to shift, familiar with ETH mining.
I am seeking to solo mine - Windows 7 64 bit - but that won't be too related, I do have the 64 bit release.
Step 1: first thing I did new to Shift
Got gshift.exe and shift wallet. Ran gshift, then the wallet, created a new account.
All good- I see my account now
Step 2: was hoping to get up and mining, after BC sync.
Block Chain didn't sync until I forwarded port 53900 - all good BC sync'd.
From what I understand I need to run gshift first (similar to geth --rpc) before solo mining
Did so with
gshift --shiftbase "0" --rpc --rpcaddr "127.0.0.1" --rpcport "53901" --port "53900" --verbosity "3" console
I myself would think no console there, so I ALSO tried gshift --rpc as well as JUST gshift
Sits there listening - all good
Step 3 - time to start ETH Miner
C:\eth\emine>ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 500 -G -F
http://127.0.0.1:53001 The following is what comes back - it's quite normal until the JSON-RPC error - curl error

So my question is, it just sits in that loop - Could not connect.
Sure looks port related, but I have 53900 forwarded.
Can anyone think of a reason why it won't connect ? It's allowed through the FW - even tested with FW off just to make sure.
I hope this problem helps someone else who might be experiencing the same thing.
