getting started

[Ljubisa]

Hi, Im pretty new in this bitcoin mining thing so bear with me here for a sec
I joined slush's pool just recently and found to be in a dilemma....

1) Im I a stratus miner or not? (I have regular comp with 2x6790 Radeons soon to be 3x6790...
2) Im using GUIMinner and have selected slush's pool but still getting the "old" address in settings ..... Never the less, everything seems to be working, Im getting statistic etc etc .... So now I dont know should I switch to other settings or not?

Thats two questions that are bugging me for now, if I think of something else I will post

On Slush's site, click 'My Account' and it will tell you in your miner info - a green 'YES' in the stratum column and everything's fine.

So, I have to manually change settings in GUI minner to stratum settings with same username and pass?

[Kruncha]

Guiminer should default to stratum on slush's pool, if it's not showing in your miner stats though, I would set it manually.

Its showing me website mining.bitcoin.cz and according to sit here it should be like this ipv6.stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333  (IPv6, only for Stratum miners)

And one more thing? What will happened to my current shares, not much so far, around 2500 but still Will they stay on my account or?

[Kruncha]

Current shares will stay, no problems there.

I'm on 'stratum3.bitcoin.cz' on port :3333 - and it's working on stratum fine.

EDIT: your stats will not show your on stratum until the beginning of a new round - you have to be on the whole round for it to register (if i'm not mistaken).

is this ok or should i still set it up manually?

[Kruncha]

no, that should be fine - however, take note of my edit on the post above.

K.

[Ljubisa]

ok, Im not worried so much on my status as on the fact that I mine for nothing But, thanks anyway, I was confused with website settings and GUI Minner setting.


Problem solved yaaay
