I'm wondering if someone can help me connect to Slush's pool through Tor. I have the Tor client set up and running, and am able to download the blockchain in the client by setting the client to use a sock4 proxy. However, I'm having no luck with setting up GUIMiner to connect. I get a "Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC" error when trying to connect to host pool57wkuu5yuhzb.onion on port 8332. Are those the correct settings, and do I have to edit some kind of config file to set guiminer to use a socks proxy?
No idea but are you using poclbm or other miner?
BTW. Why did slush go down just now?
EDIT: ok, it is up running again.
It's using poclbm, and is the Feb update to Guiminer.
edit: my poclbm.ini file is
