Hi,
I hope I'm not reposting a question. I'm trying to run cgminer version 2.2.0 with only cpu mining enabled. I just want to generate some namecoins.
I invoke the command as follows:
./cgminer -o
http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u xxx.yyy -p zzz --syslog --donation 0.5
The username and password are as displayed by the mining pool. However, I'm not able to get access to the pool. The syslog output is:
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer: Started cgminer 2.2.0
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer[10849]: Testing pool http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer[10849]: HTTP request failed: couldn't connect to host
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer[10849]: Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer[10849]: Unable to get work from pool 0 http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer[10849]: Pool: 0 URL: http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 User: xxx.yyy Password: zzz
Couple of things to note are:
- I've had the same problem with cgminer version 2.1.2
- The older version (2.1.2) once worked successfully (about 16 or so hours) with a different mining pool. Since then it was unsuccessful.
I'm not sure if I'm missing anything. Let me know if you need more details.
Thanks.
