HI Folks,
I have an asicminer blade setup to mine on slushs pool using the stratum proxy from their site.
Everything works great, 10.9 ghs etc.
I had my friend setup the configuration page for the blade.
Im a newb when it comes to all the ip setup, ports etc so I had him do that and the stratum proxy software also.

I want to change pools as slushs is taking way too long to complete blocks.

I downloaded bfgminer but dont understand how to get it to work.

I need a step by step explanation on what to put in the bfgminer command lines for eligius and what to put in my configuration page.

I think I need to keep the config page the same except for the username and password but I could be wrong.

I basically need an idiots guide on how to make it work.

I tried going through the asicminer blade setup post by dogie but that just got me even more confused and is miles long.

I tried searching now for 2 days on the site and in that post but couldnt find anything that helps me as i dont really understand most of the terms, a lot of the info seems to be for people that really understand command line stuff and up until now I was mining with guiminer and my gpu so its all pretty much chinese to me.

I am sure there are other people that need the info also.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

Slush's stratum proxy can be used for other pools.

"mining_proxy.exe -h" tells you a lot.

For the basics, "mining_proxy.exe -o yourpool -p stratumport -gp localport"

"yourpool" - your pool
"stratumport" - the pool's stratum port
"localport" - the port your machine should listen on for getwork requests, default 8332

Thanks for the reply sidehack.

I dont understand, where do I type in the mining_proxy.exe -h command ?

When i open the mining-proxy.exe software it just starts mining on slush pool straight away, how do I input that command ?

can anyone else help ?

I am trying with the slush stratum but I cant get it to work.

What do I put into bfgminer to connect my blade to eligius ?

I am not versed in the whole command line thing and need the basics to try and make this work.

any help would be great.

Start -> Run -> cmd

Navigate to the directory where mining_proxy.exe was downloaded (from Slush's website) - "cd" is the command to change directory.

Once in the folder, type in the "mining_proxy.exe -o whatever" command line with your pool's information.
