Now my cpu miner does not want to connect to stratum proxy.

Code:

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\pooler-cpuminer-2.2.3-win64>minerd --url 192.168.1.139:9332 --userpass removed:removed --threads 3
[2013-04-02 08:40:04] 3 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
[2013-04-02 08:40:05] HTTP request failed: couldn't connect to host
[2013-04-02 08:40:05] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds

I removed username and password from above, but, I triple checked and they are correct. I disabled my firewall as well.

By default the proxy listens on port 8332, not 9332.

I'm so ahead of my self, I skipped the port set. Thank you, so much pooler for the help, I am now up and mining cpuminer on stratum proxy.

For the trouble, I ain't got much, but I'm sending you one litecoin for the troubles. Edit:Sent one LTC.

Thank you very much!

Yea it just don't work. I cd into the startum proxy location, with cmd, here is the output.

Code:

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Mining Proxy>miner_proxy -pa scrypt -o litecoinpool.org -
p 3333
'miner_proxy' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

That error seems clear enough to me. You have no program called "miner_proxy" in the directory. How is the executable you've got called? If you downloaded it from the pool the filename is probably mining_proxy.exe.

It's called mining_proxy.exe.

I tried

Code:

miner_proxy.exe -pa scrypt -o litecoinpool.org -p 3333

still don't work.

Also,

Code:

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Mining Proxy>miner_proxy.exe -pa scrypt -o litecoinpool.o
rg -p 3333
'miner_proxy.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

OMG, i figured it out. Derp.

Ok one more thing. When I use a batch file to run stratum proxy from https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy for windows,

I'll stop you right there. For Litecoin you need to use the fork of the proxy linked on the help page.

Ok, same thing, using a batch file on this .exe, stratum proxy opens, then closes. Um, what am I doing wrong?

Here is the batch file cmd line I am using on a .bat file.

Code:

miner_proxy -pa scrypt -o litecoinpool.org -p 3333

Yes, I don't understand though, how is cpuminer suppose to direct to the stratum proxy when my cpuminer is set to visit litecoin pool?

It just don't make sense to me.

The proxy handles all communication with the pool. The miners will only talk with the proxy.

Example. Let's say you run the proxy on a machine whose local address is 192.168.1.42. Then you will start cpuminer with something like the following:

Code:

minerd --url http://192.168.1.42:8332 --userpass username.1:1

The username and password are the same you were using when minerd was connecting directly to the pool.

AHHHH. Ok, gotcha.

miner_proxy -pa scrypt -o litecoinpool.org -p 3333

stratum proxy opens then closes, I can't get it to stay open.

If you are using cpuminer, you can lower your stale rate by running the Stratum proxy. You only need to run one proxy for all of your miners, as long as they are all within the same local network. More information about setting it up is available on the help page.

Hi, pooler, I've tried that proxy thing u said, but I was never able to get it to run, go or work.

Could you make in detail, how to use the stratum proxy for cpuminer, please? Like, how to specifically set it up?

The instructions on the help page seem pretty specific to me...

You start the proxy on one of your machines as follows:

miner_proxy -pa scrypt -o litecoinpool.org -p 3333

Then you connect your miners to that machine on port 8332 with the usual pool worker username and password.

If you have any specific question, feel free to ask.

I use all cmd lines to cmd with batch files, I don't use the gui thing.

Edit:
Also, when I get this straightened out to work, how is the fallback pool suppose to work if ltc pool goes down?

In order to encourage miners to adopt the new Stratum protocol, which allows for very low stale rates, we are not paying for stale shares anymore. To compensate for this, the PPS fee has been lowered to 4%.

If you are using a recent version of cgminer, you are already taking advantage of Stratum.
If you are using reaper, you are strongly encouraged to use cgminer instead.
If you are using cpuminer, you can lower your stale rate by running the Stratum proxy. You only need to run one proxy for all of your miners, as long as they are all within the same local network. More information about setting it up is available on the help page.

Has Litecoinpool user base shot up about 200 users? And I think the KH/s rate as increased by 150,000 to 200,000!!
What Huh

All this because the cost of Litecoin as increased? Wow.

0.00000926 per share CMO too little maybe when you increase earning then maybe ill continue mining here.

Compaird to this I think ill stick at that until rate goes up.

I know you have mixed Diff on pool however one question regarding this. Do you get double the amounts so if i get a share at 125 i will get 125x the amount for mining it ?

The PPS rate currently shown on the site is what you get paid if you solve one share at the lowest difficulty that can be served by the pool. Most other pools use a much higher, fixed share difficulty, so the PPS rate they report is higher.
This doesn't mean that you will earn less, because if you mine at our pool you will be credited many more shares.

Regarding adaptive difficulty: if you find a share that has a difficulty which is 4 times that of the minimum share difficulty, it will be counted as 4 shares. This allows to measure workers' speed more precisely while keeping bandwidth usage optimal.
