Thanks for investigating.
Apparently, my existing poclbm version gives the 127.0.0.1 error
I updated it (I think) using the guide, and used this to do so:
git clone https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm.git
I think this will update my current poclbm version located in /opt/miners/poclbm but now when I try running CP I still get the same 127.0.0.1 problem.
The command above really does something, it seems to update things but I cannot tell if it installs a new version of poclbm or that it tries and fails to update my current install.
If anyone can tell me where the new version is installed using the above command I can try to get CP working too :-)
Thanks for any help.
-edit-
FIXED!
So the command above to download and install poclbm does in fact do that: install poclbm but in a different location.
I found the latest install to be located somewhere else than it used to be, I found this with the following command:
find / -name poclbm.py -print
Now I got a list of all the directories containing poclbm.py
I added the one that was apparently new to my .cfg file and started CP: running!
Only thing is that it will not show any accepted shares, it simply does not do that. You can however find the hashrate by typing info <enter> as usual. (so it was not your slow GPU Blood, it just doesn't show the accepted shares lines, I'm hasing at 800+mhash/s so should've given me some accepted shares lines by now if it does). It does show the "LP connected to <poolname>:port" lines.
Shares submitted will also stay at zero.
So people using Linuxcoin can use the above line to install latest poclbm and use the 2nd line to locate the installation path, put that into the CP config file and off you go!
Hurray!
