Can someone check to see if I am mining

jmutsch

I just started... Total newb, and I think I have everything set up.  only problem is I have a wallet set up with btc-e and it looks like they dont accept p2pool transactions.  Can anyone tell me where I should set up a wallet that will work with this? Pretty complicated shiz.

Hi Jmutsch

I'm new as well. John O'Mara told me this:

If your LTC address is on this page it’s good:

I actually did find my name/address on the list, so I AM mining.
Good luck!

I have been mining all night for BTC on CPU miner.

It shows "accepted 121 of 128" and some activity, but I can't find my address 14FsLShiAHDNqTHtR99nLc2GCvNVcvD4Sn anywhere in the statistic. Am I mining for nothing?Does anyone know if there is anything wrong? Please advise as I am new here.

Thank you!

the best wallet for mining is the official one from 

bitcoin.org

or

litecoin.org

CPUMiner takes LTC setup - there's no point cpu mining BTC i'm afraid!

so what do I need to do to make sure I am recieving the benefits? LVqyD3a1cEnvzndYH5pr5XfqFhU7uH5HxB is the address I was given, and I don't really understand what I am suppose to do with the litecoin wallet I dled from litecoin.org.... I just kinda put the code in the address and named it wallet? can someone tell me if I am mining and if I will receive any payment? again thanks for the help!!

You are showing up here now so all should be good!

so they will just show up at that address in my wallet? Do I have to do anything for that to happen?

jmutsch

in my cpu miner i am showing 70 of 76 how many of those = a litecoin?

share difficulty actually varies on a person to person basis so I can't say, but it would take quite a while at your speed I'm afraid! Your payouts would be spaced quite far apart, I recommend looking in to how P2Pool works and deciding whether you prefer it or a conventional pool. Payouts are automatic to your wallet with P2Pool nodes though!

do u know if there is a way to mine on a graphics card for my imac? 2.7 ghz intel core i5 AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB. I here its a lot faster to use the graphics card to mine??

FabulousPanda

Yeah you can mine on that - the only thing is that you're likely to find it's in the same speed range as your CPU due to the Mac OS X implementation of OpenCL

click the little cog in the bfgminer window to open the miner settings panel and check 'enable GPU mining' and 'use scrypt' and work size to 256 then apply the settings before you start mining

You'll probably then want to go back and make the intensity higher but putting it too high can crash your Mac so just see how laggy the machine is at each intensity then put it up 1/2 - the higher the intensity the faster it mines but the harder it works the machine

when I try to do that it keeps spitting out this error?
The primary pool is set to http://pool.fabulouspanda.co.uk:9327 and the user is set to LVqyD3a1cEnvzndYH5pr5XfqFhU7uH5HxB

jmutsch

also can you use bfgminer and cpu miner at the same time?

FabulousPanda

Are you using the 10.6 version? That error will go away if you put MacMiner.app in your applications folder, but it shouldn't happen with the latest versions for 10.7+

You can use bfgminer for GPU mining and cpuminer for CPU mining at the same time, keep an eye on your temperatures though!

do i need a different user name or something?

FabulousPanda

that's one of the backup pools that went down - if you're running 1.5.5 go to the pool settings and just click save & start again and it'll replace that dead P2Pool node with a new one the next time the miner starts!
