You said this was a work computer? Is traffic being filtered maybe?

Good thought, but I'm the IT Manager and configured everything.  Still, I double-checked and nothing's being blocked.

Have you tried port 80 instead of 8332?

Yup, same results either way.

Thanks,

I have a feeling we are almost there on this block everyone! bring out the pick axes!

You may want to try:

Code:
phoenix -u http://Username_Worker:[email protected]:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0 AGGRESSION=4

Thanks malavita.  I thought I was about to have a facepalm moment, but I'm afraid I get the same result with an underscore as I do with a period.

I'd be happy to just use Phoenix, but I also spent about an hour trying to make that work, without success.  Here's what I get when I try to use ports 8332 or 80.

Command:
Code:
phoenix -u http://Username.Worker:[email protected]:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0 AGGRESSION=4

Result:
Code:
[11/02/2012 17:03:42] Phoenix v1.7.5 starting...

I also tried Phatk and Phatk2, but I couldn't find a way to disable BFI_INT.  Here's what I get with those kernels:
Code:
FATAL kernel error: Failed to apply BFI_INT patch to kernel! Is BFI_INT supported on this hardware?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: Not sure what was wrong, but I got it working with DiabloMiner.

I'm a total noob miner, as I've never used anything but the BitMinter client.  Hence, I'm way more familiar with everybody in the BitMinter thread, but let me know if it's inappropriate for me to post this here vs the mining support thread.

I found a computer at work with a GeForce 8800GT.  The computer is logged off about 90% of the time, so I want to setup some startup/logon/logoff scripts to mine with it when it's not in use.

Before starting all this, I tested with the BitMinter client and it gave me about 19.5 MH/s.

One poster claims that the 8800GT does about 20 MH/s using Phoenix and 24 MH/s using puddinpop's RPC CUDA miner.  Not real impressive, but I'll take free hashes. :-)  I spent about an hour and a half trying to make the RPC miner work, but here's what I'm getting on ports 8332 and 80.

Command:
Code:
rpcminer-cuda.exe -url=http://mint.bitminter.com:8332/ -user=Username.Worker -password=Password

Result:
Code:
Could not retrieve work from RPC server.
CURL return value = 22
No blocks are being hashed right now.  This can happen if the application is still starting up, you supplied incorrect parameters, or there is a communications error connecting to the RPC server.

Streaks of bad luck are often followed by streaks of good luck.  Everything tends to average out.

I think the pool needs a G.Luk upgrade.

may i suggest a rabbit foot usb? Smiley

Looks like I ordered my 6950's just in time! Should put me back up in the 1% region of hashing power in the pool...lol and facepalm. And I should be able to pull an extra 60 Mhash/s out of the A8-3850 APU I am putting in the rig, so ideally, I should be able to add 860 Mhash/s to my current ~800 Mhash/s

Looks like someone visited us or rented some hashing power:

There has been a bit of an influx huh? Looks like our payout per share is going down. :p

You mean per block.  Payout per share only changes due to difficulty.

For my bitcoin username, my BTC reject rate is about 0.4% but it's 5.5% for NMC.  I have 2 x 5830's a 5850 and a 6950, all running about the max overclock i could get.  You know of any reason my NMC reject rate is so much higher than my BTC reject rate and the pool reject rate?  Are my overclocks not as stable as I think they are, lol?

Possibly.

Rejects are either:
- stales (hash is valid but the underlying data is no longer current)
- invalids (card generated incorrect hashes that were never valid)

Hopefully someday Dr. H can split out rejects into stales & invalids.  In the meantime you could drop clock rate on one card to stock and see if rejects are lower for that card.  If so the difference is a good indication on the % that is from invalids.  The rest is from stales.

Newer version of cgminer does better w/ stales on merged mining pools (due to improved handling of LP).
Your internet connection, and latency to the pool will affect stales (but not invalids).
Aggressive overclock increases the rate of invalids (but not stales).
Having intensity set too high increases stales (but not invalids) if used w/ "submit stale" option (in cgminer) due to increases batch time.

I run .02% stales between 2 cards in 2 different machines.
