GUIMiner/Proxy help

[Mustang58lx]

I'm new to Bitcoin mining and just trying it out.

with my out computer I'm only able to try this with CPU mining (I know it's not worth it)  but like I said I'm just trying it out to see how it works.

So on the account page it say's please install Stratum proxy.  So I downloaded the Stratum proxy and run it and in GUIMiner I started a new miner using I'm using new other miner and pointed it to rpcminer-4way.exe  for server I selected other, host is http://localhost:8332/ port 8332 and gilled in the user and pw.  When I start it the proxy screen changes shows my worker is continueously asking for work but I don't think it evere get any this way. GUIMiner shows 0 shares too.  and when I update my account screen it doesn't show that it ever is working on anything. 

am I doing something wrong?


Thanks

Assuming you have everything configured properly, you aren't seeing any shares as you are mining with a CPU, so you will be looking at least an hour before you get a share, that's why it's so pointless. You're better off mining litecoin with a CPU.

I get shares fairly regular if I dont use the proxy but I was trying to be stratum compliant.  I had it running that way for  8 hours and didnt notice it get any shares.

I have had no end of problems with the proxy, I suggest you either switch mining clients to one that supports stratum natively like cgminer, or just forget about it and use the perfectly serviceable getwork.
