[HELP] Stratum Proxy and Bitminter mining pool

[dragonkid]

Help.. I am trying to set the Slush Stratum Proxy to point to Bitminter mining pool. Could some one please show me the command needed to do that?

I have tried:

./mining_proxy.py -o http://mint.bitminter.com -p 8332

But it doesn't work, what am I missing? Thanks

Now, since you want to setup a stratum proxy, you gotta connect to Bitminter's stratum.
If you look closely on their website, their stratum port is 3333.
You also want to remove the http:// since it's technically stratum and not a webpage.
 
Thus the command to launch would be:
 

./mining_proxy.py -o mint.bitminter.com -p 3333

Thereafter, the proxy will listen at 8332 for getwork.

If you want to change the incoming work ports:
-gp XXXX to change getwork incoming port
-sp XXXX to change stratum incoming port
 
Hoped it helped!

After mining for 7 hours on Slush's pool and then Bitminter's pool for 7 hours. I discovered that Slush's pool make more bitcoin.

Thanks, but I can see mining is like drug. No matter how much hash power you already got you want more and more. (Not that I am into any drug)

In the long run in theory bitminter will make more since the fees are less (by 1%) plus you get namecoins (although they are not worth much). You have to look at the stats for a week of mining since the hashrates are so different

But there are so many other charges in bitminter. I looked at the transaction history of bitminter it was robbing so much fee.

Edit: Actually I just went back into the bitminter account and I saw that I left all the donation on. Oops. No wonder there was so many fee. I am going to go for bitminter again. I hope you are right.

what if your setting up a proxy in windows? I have a proxy setup for slush's pool on my windows machine and want to point it to bitminters pool...

You'd just want to replace .py with .exe

Code:

mining_proxy.exe -o mint.bitminter.com -p 3333

Put it in a .bat file or a .cmd file.

thanks so much!!

If you want more convenience, use the java client and all your problems will be solved 

[udaredme]

i use the java client for usb mining hardware...With the asic blades they are ethernet based-so kinda hard to get the java client to notice them.

[dawo5010]

Actually, it's impossible, heh

[rekweam]

what do i put in the password bit of the blade config? user:pass as theres no password on workers in bit minter?

I left it blank for me.  For example: username_2: , username_2:

I hope that helps.

I'm on mac so I don't know if it's different to you, but I just installed the slush proxy and then entered the ./mining_proxy.py -o mint.bitminter.com -p 3333  directing it to another server.

[jamesc760]

anyone know how to set up a backup pool on the command line?

mining_proxy.exe -o yourprimarypool -p 3333 ??


Thanks in advance!

Does the proxy only work with "stratum.yourpool" sites. A couple of the pools I want to use my hexminer software with use stratum+tcp and the proxy keeps timing out. I've gotten it to work with btc guild but that was a gimmee since it was already listed when I got it.

Is there any lists for where pools take through the stratum proxy or a way to know which ones work off the bat.

Thanks

Edit
I think I figured it out. I had to take off the "stratum+tcp" tag  to get it to work. Its mining so that's a start
