PROCESSMESSAGE MESSAGESTART NOT FOUND

I'm a Linux user and I've recently installed bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (version v0.6.3.0-g6e0c5e3-beta) and built cpuminer (minerd version 1.0.2) but I can't get them to work together.

I start bitcoind:

Code:

bitcoind -datadir=mydatadir -conf=mybitcoin.conf  -printtoconsole

Then I verify that I can communicate with the rpc server:

Code:

curl --user myrpcuser --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getinfo", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/

which responds:

Code:

{"result":{"version":60300,"protocolversion":60001,"walletversion":60000...

Then I start the miner:

Code:

./minerd --userpass myrpcuser:myrpcpass -P --url http://localhost:8333

which outputs:

Code:

...

[2013-03-13 09:50:37] 8 miner threads started, using SHA256 'sse2_64' algorithm.

In the bitcoind session I can observe the following output:

Code:

accepted connection 127.0.0.1:51079

Any clues as how I can resolve this?

I compiled the bitcoind program from the latest git source (1a9ee) to make sure I had the latest versjon of both bitcoind and mined. When I run the json query I get a much more recent protocol version:

Code:

curl --user myrpcuser --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getinfo", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
{"result":{"version":80000,"protocolversion":70001,"walletversion":60000,

But it also says that my balance is zero? What happened to my bitcoins?


I guess these are not typical newbie questions, so hopefully I'll get access to post somewhere else soon.

The minerd result is the same using the git version of bitcoind

Code:

* Empty reply from server
* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact
[2013-03-13 14:38:06] HTTP request failed: Empty reply from server
[2013-03-13 14:38:06] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds

But I'm worried about the zero balance.

Should I start the old version of bitcoind or will that skrew things up even more?

[kingcoin]

I tried the version tagged  v0.7.2 (32a928e). Here I can at least observe that my balance is not zero.

But the minerd behavior is the same.

This seem to be caused by a very stupid mistake. I used the wrong port number in the minderd test. Changing it from 8333 to 8332 caused lots of json messages  passed back and forth and my load to get close to 8

Hopefully others will get a hit on my message thread on Google if they make the same silly mistake.
