Why is BBQcoin mining at 0 hash/sec?

[Walter Rothbard]

I went to the mining tab on the BBQcoin client and started mining, but it says it's mining at 0 hashes/sec.  What am I doing wrong?

You are not using the CPU to mine WITH the BBQ client, which is why it is reporting 0.

Mining done from an external program is not reported there.

I'm not using an external program.

I had the same problem..

Then I plugged in Server/port/username/password rpc info and it started working fine.
I would think I wouldn't need that info for solo mining.

Thanks; I will try that.

Is it just me, or is the BBQcoin client significantly slower to start up than most other cryptocoin clients?

It starts up just as fast as the litecoin client for me, and synchronizes the blockchain much faster.

The correction to this problem:

add gen=1 to bbqcoin.conf, and ignore the miner tab.

Works for me.

BBQcoin still starts up extremely slowly, but it's not a big problem.

Well, you see, CPU mining BBQ is not worth it, too much CPU power and less returns. So it's pointless, in fact the only reason CPU mining exists in the reference clients is for informaton purposes only.
