Topic: Can't connect to any mining pool via raspberry pi 3 model b and Ubuntu (Win) (Read 98 times)

It's been long time since i mining, so i don't know the exact reason, but i know to diagnose the problem.

On a side note, Raspberry Pi (and even CPU/GPU/FPGA) aren't suitable for mining Bitcoin and you won't get any profit. For comparison (according to https://cryptoticker.io/en/bitcoin-mining-raspberry-pi/), Raspberry Pi only have 30 H/s while ASIC (such as AntMiner S19) have 95 TH/s.


These are the actual problem,
1. Your cgminer.conf is corrupted or you make invalid configuration. Follow the instruction (start cgminer with -T parameter to see) to see the problem.
2. CGMiner can't detect any device suitable for mining

Hello guys,

I'm a Beginner in Bitcoin Mining and have Connection Problems to any Mining Pools that exists actually.
First I've tried it on my Raspberry Pi 3 Model b with 3 Mining Tools (cpu-miner, cpuminer-multi and others...). First it always said (booooo) when accepting blocks.. I've solved this problem by adding the algo=sha256d. Now my actual Problem is: It seems to be like I successfully connect to Mining Pools (suprnova, slush pool and f2pool for example) ... but the Dashboards don't refresh. The Dashboards don't show any active workers and the Hash Score Rates are always 0.

Now I've tried it at Ubuntu for Windows with the cgminer .... the same result but evan more strange. The stratum worker always ask for restarts .. I can't see any activities and the Dashboards (Mining Pools) don't change.


Here is what I see now for example slushpool:

Tried with commandline cgminer -o stratum+tcp://eu.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 -u Markiza91 -p Hereismypassword

Could someone help me pls? What could be the issue on my raspberry pi and my ubuntu (Win) Variant? Why do the Dashboards don't refresh? On the raspberry pi it seems like the m-cpuminer is working locally but don't transfer the data to the mining pools.

Thank you in advance!
