I tried posting questions, but moderator 2 times deleted my questions - without any notice why for, I thought this is the right place to ask for advices on MINING BITCOINS !!!

I get stuck at "pool requested work restart" and about 100 messages of that and no new shares !!! Can any1 advise what to do to skip this and get back to mining without need of watching my miners 24/7 ?

What pool? What miner? What algorithm?

Try switching the pool and see if that helps, if not try reinstalling the mining software on it. And there is a separate section for mining, this is merely bitcoin client technical support not mining technical support.

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 -u Worker.1 -p x --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=888,chips=5 --hotplug 5

also the same occurs in case I mine with GPU, CPU and even with Gridseed

minerd.exe -o stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 -u Worker.2 -p x

I opened this forum on the site of the pool
https://www.litecoinpool.org/account - so I supposed it was for this, sorry for posting in a wrong thread, I did not know where to ask this

Aha that's good. Normally pool sites forums will give better advice than us anyway. Especially in that example as that site only mines litecoin so the forum will be specific to that and the scrypt algorithm it uses.

This should be in the altcoins mining thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0 not bitcoin.

Mods, kindly transfer to proper forum thread.

You see the report to moderator link on the bottom right of every post? Use that instead as mods are then more likely to see it...

I see, but the problem is that on the site of the pool there is link to "their forum"
My Account   Payments   Stats Charts Calc Help FAQ IRC   Forum

and this is where it brings me ... so, I am at this forum with the credentials of the site and still searching for the fix of the beforementioned issue / problem I am getting.

Thx


I tried mining BITCOIN too, at the speed of about 1 GH, which is terrible with the Gridseed 5 Orb ASIC and I NEVER got any accepted share for 72 hours, only the same issues, I read something about switching pools as it could be due to that, and so I ended up mining litecoin where I finally got some shared found ("Total work done   335 GH") and almost 0.001 for a short time. I tried also mining bitcoin on CPU, GPU and this ASIC miners but to no avail, only ASIC got some speed but neither of them got any at all approved shares for about a week.

Your ASICs are obsolete. The Gridseeds were obsolete for Bitcoin when they were released even.

If you want to try them as a lottery for Bitcoin, you need to point them to a vardiff pool, like CK's solo pool. They'll accept low diff shares like the ones your Gridseeds produce.

If you want to Litecoin, you'd have to ask in the altcoins forum, but I've successfully used them at multipool.us for scrypt coins at the lowest difficulty they accept.

Ok, can I ask that here in altcoins forum ... and do You have any suggestion about the issue, I know they are obsolete for bitcoin, so I am trying them on some of the "less popular" coins that have scrypt or sha algorythm, but there is that ever lasting issue of "work restart" for which I still do not have any clue what the heck is that and how to fix it ?

Hey, I also need some advice! There are so many topics! I cant find the topic that will tell me if it worths to start mining right now. There are lots of companies specialised on the mining BTC, so I personnally think that home-mining wouldnt be useful. But I can mistake, thats why I need some advice, guys.

1. Search Google for a bitcoin mining calculator.
2. If you have anything else to ask, make a new thread here!

Big corporations still pay as much tax as you do in most cases and countries.
