This might sound like a stupid question but I set up a bfgminer and connected it to clevermining.com and how do I know if my miner is actually mining and getting me coins? I have never mined before and I'm using my CPU for mining and looking to upgrade it with antminers or whatever those things are called lol That's how unfamiliar I am with mining. Would anyone be able to help me out or guide me to a forum or site where I can learn to begin mining and which miners to use and how to set them up properly? Much appreciated thanks ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Cheers everyone Have you checked the stats page on the site for your BTC address? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) ya but I'm using my bittrex btc address as my username do you think that is why I'm not seeing anything yet? also how do I set my parameters to scrypt on my bfgminer bfgminer --scrypt ... First you need to make sure the pool is accepting shares. Set the difficulty manually to the lowest allowed value, i.e. use d=128 as your password. Even at that it will take a long time to find a share with a CPU. Then you can start looking for stats. It doesn't matter if the BTC address is from an exchange. so when I start my bfgminer it goes right to url: that's when I enter stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 right? so when do i enter --scrypt? after the url? or after my password? You should put all that into the command line or create a batch file that starts bfgminer. Don't just double click on the file. E.g. bfgminer --scrypt -S cpu:all -o stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 -u your-btc-address -p d=128 I'm not sure about the "-S cpu:all" part, I've never done CPU mining with bfgminer. Read the docs, try it, ask questions if something comes up.

Don't worry about that too much. Get bfgminer to detect your hardware, show hashrate, and submit shares. That old block error is just some harmless stratum miscommunication IIRC.

Heya guys! New in the area but love to hear the FAN going for full speed ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) , BUT i got a problem, i got an Antminer S1 (To start things with, other S3 is on its way ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ) But i cant use it on clevermining the bot, when i check status the diff is around 1k, and it says and i quote "Our new stratum server has VARDIFF enabled and it should work great for most users. But if you have a miner with dozens of chips working as a single connection you might want to setup your own difficulty. You can do this by using password d=XXXX where XXXX is number between 128 and 65536 (only powers of 2 are accepted, so 128, 256, 512, etc, e.g. d=512). This will set a fixed difficulty and disable vardiff. It works per connection so you can choose separate difficulty for each of your miners." Ive tried d=256 so many times, but it still is on ~1k diff :/, and my antminer wont any "accepted", only alot of Rejected & Discarded Got latest firmware for the S1, someone knows the soloution for my noobiness? (Ive tried to find some post helping me out but hey ... its not one page ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Hope someone got a lovely fridy, not like mine, carproblems, walked over 2 hours, finally home! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Ok, thanks for the info man! =) One little more question that maybe u can help out with P2Pools, Ive understand that i can host a p2pool myself on my comp/server, does it mean i got my "own" pool?, will i recieve the whole 25 BTC myself if i would find a Block? if im the only one mining at my p2pool ofc, isnt it like kinda solo mining?

Yes, you can host your own P2Pool node. No, it's not solo mining, you are still contributing to a pool together with other nodes. P2Pool has certain technical advantages: no single point of failure, potentially better latencies etc. Also the ideological benefit of decentralization.

Hello,
Did anyone else notice this issue when mining with Titan? I get "Pool 0 is issuing work for an old block: 8ef....." and my miner slows down to a crawl, then restarts. Is it the issue with the Titan not being able to handle this case?

Thank you. I am using the latest 1.11 firmware and the difficulty is set to 8192, so the latest improvements on the Titan side did not help.

I use Vardiff and it seems to work just fine with 1.11. 1.10 made my die randomly get sick forcing me to have to restart the system to get them working again. But things have been running nice with 1.11. I just hope we get scrypt-n or any of the x11,x13 ect ect to help beef up profits. $27 a day kind of sucks.

Hi, I'm sorry for not replying to you earlier (I got your first PM over a week ago - it wasn't weeks, but I understand that time goes slower when you can't wait to get a response, so thank you for your patience and apologize for delay). I replied to you via PM and I think we'll be able to resolve this issue as soon as I hear back from you.

Hi I just started mining over at clevermining.com about 6 hours now but when i go to check my user stats on the site i get an error saying i need to wait a full hour. My BTC address is 1C7PFvvCvmsLLzTfkXFSifmyH7jX9fWxyq is there anything you can do to solve this? And will i loose everything that i have mined so far?
Thank you.
