Nah, that was the block number, just wasn't able to format the cut & paste properly.

Just wondering if there is any other "normal" port that you could accept shares from. It seems that port 8332 is blocked on my end and I cannot (not allowed) change it.

You could use a free VPN service... http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/7-completely-free-vpn-services-protect-privacy/Mining is not very bandwidth intensive so you should be fine with any of those... or you could SSH tunnel through a VPS, or use a paid VPN... |

There's no mining API on port 80, because of technical difficulties. What's the reason that port 8332 is blocked on your side? Are you behind corporporate proxy?

I'm not entirely sure, but that would be my best bet since it is at work. I know for sure that port 8332 is in stealth mode from an outside port tester "Shields Up!" I may just be SOL. And I had 35 6750M's to run... I'm pretty sure vpn is also blocked, but port 443 is open. I can connect to my home computer on 443, could that be useful? Client with miner mac10.7 / home windows7. |

Setup a VPN/proxy on whatever open port you have to work with. Have the proxy forward requests to the pool server. I'm sure with a few IPTABLES or other firewall or networking tricks you can get around it. Or maybe mine via the Tor network  ? |

This can be done, fairly easily, but you'll need a basic grasp on networking. Port 80 is obviously open, so time to get creative in routing things through port 80 Port 443 is open due to SSL. Create a server off site, or use a remote service that accepts connections on port 80 or 443 and you're set to go (you may need an internal proxy server routing the traffic outward through 443 or 80 if you have 35 seperate computers) |

Don't give up!!! You have 5+ GH/s just raring to go... (and free electricity to boot! But you already know this...) How about trying to romance the network administrator and get her (unlikely, but possible) or him (basketball tickets?) to unlock that port and look the other way... (I edited this post - what I deleted didn't add anything particularly usefull to the thread...) Thanks for ALL you do Slush!! |

Don't give up!!! You have 5+ GH/s just raring to go... I am pretty sure that it is a max of only 2GH/s. 6750M's run between 40-60 as per https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparisonWell if anyone has any suggestions of how to route out through 80, 3389... other open ports to a home computer and back to slush it would be great. OR just cut out the home computer. I would like to do as little installing on the computers as possible and probably run DiabloMiner because it is terminal based. (remember this is a mac). I have a program that could send commands to the terminal for all computers at once. Using things such as GUIMiner just wouldn't be feasible. Someone else mentioned Tor, it is still on port 8332, so that wouldn't work. |

Hi, you can set an openvpn on your mac PC. openvpn allow to change ports bindings so you can set it to port 443 and then use your home ADSL to mine. |

 TOTALLY missed the 'M' designation - did my math with 150 MH/s (low-balling the 167 on said site) from the full-blown card. I RTFM and still F'd it up... Derp!!!  Still, two gigahash (with FREE power + hardware) ain't nothing to sneeze at... Good Luck bro!

Mine with Tor. It's way easier than setting up a VPN. Slush and Eligius both have hidden services if you really want to hide your mining.
I didn't mine very long over Tor since i was just doing it to test, but the latency didn't seem to cause any problems.

All fixed now  I dunno if slush fixed the invalid blocks manually or whether he's got some script that does additional checks (besides the use of block explorer), but either way it's all good. Also I must say I am quite happy to see our luck level so high recently. This nicely makes up for that period of bad luck we've had a week or two ago. |

I Found my first block too on slush during a 5 hour marathon, or right after. How do I check in block explorer my hash that found the block? Or how do I recognize it's from me?
If you don't log submitted shares, there's no way to check in blockexplorer which block you mined. If you're loggin submitted shares, then sha256(sha256(submitted_data)) == block hash on blockexplorer. oh nice, why does it need to call sha256 function twice though? Would I have to be logging in verbose mode? |
