bitcoind rcpconnect to deepbit

[weliwarmer]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to deepbit using bitcoin and/or bitcoind on two computers both running Ubuntu.

The commands I'm using are

bitcoind -rpcuser=mydeepbituser -rpcpassword=mydeepbitpass -rpcconnect=deepbit.net -gen

bitcoin -rpcuser=mydeepbituser -rpcpassword=mydeepbitpass -rpcconnect=deepbit.net -gen

The first command seems to start the daemon ok.
The second command starts the GUI and shows a single connection.

They have been running a couple of days but my account on deepbit show an average of 0MH/s and no shares found.

Could someone tell me what I've missed please?

Thanks,
Tim

Bitcoin/bitcoind is the node software to participate in the network.  It doesn't do remote mining.  You need a mining client if you want to use a pool.

bitcoind only uses CPU power for generation and is not cost effective.

See stats https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

If you have a video card on that list that you would like to use then you need a mining client.

Zomg, no offense, but this has to be the lamest thing ever. You have basically done nothing.

Thanks for your replies (apart from dikidera who reply was lamer than my question, and has done nothing to help.  No offense ;-) )

I now get I was going the wrong way, I though bitcoind/bitcoin would act as a miner.  I'm off to try poclbm ...

Thanks again,
Tim
