Topic: Getting started. (Read 623 times)
well I was just thinking how are bitcoins distributed in pools? is it based on an effort ratio? or just evenly?
Ok oddly I can't get GuiMiner to connect localy to the server (IE using 127.0.0.1 or localhost or one of it's IP's)
but I opened guiminer on my desktop and it connected (though my gtx570 is only pulling 1.4MH/s (so um ya the asic should do far better when it gets here)
but it troubles me that giuminer can't connect to another app on the same system

Ok while I don't yet have it working as a service I do have the data directory moved and fully synced with the network
so figure while I wait on my ASIC miner I'd try doing a little cpu mining (ya I know its not going to get anywhere) but just to test that I can get a miner to connect to bitcoin-QT
so I've downloaded guiminer
and I figure as I have bitcoin-qt opening with the -server switch I should be able to get them to talk
any info on this?

ok well just tried starting the service and it failed
Though I'm not much of a web programmer
It shouldn't be that hard, maybe a couple days
I was able to create a service with this
sc \\servername create "BitCoin Server" binPath= "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe -server" DisplayName= "BitCoin Server" start= auto
seems I needed a space after each =
Guess I still need to move the data directory, last time it wanted a resync and is still doing that
would it be possible to make a web interface (via aspx and json?) so that once I have it all up and running I won't even have to login to the server itself? (of course limited so only reachable from in the house.)
also whats the current blockchain size? before it had said it was upto date at about 9gb but a video I saw said it was like 20gb, and now my bitcoin folder is about 11gb
btw if such a web gui would be do able how hard would it be?

actually I plan to mine solo
btw is there anything I should know on doing that? like what software will be best to use to connect the miner?

Running the deamon should still work with no issues. You won't have to connect it to a miner since you won't be mining solo. You'll connect your miner to a pool somewhere so they have no interaction at that point.
I'm running it on my server, its running server 2003 32bit enterprise with 6gb ram
I'm planning to connect an asic to do the mining

I want to run Bitcoin-qt as a windows service so the server doesn't have to be logged into and will autostart on boot, but in 0.8.3 (which I just noticed is beta, so should I go to 0.8.2?) I want my server to run it 24/7 so it'll be ready to accept bitcoins anytime and so once I start mining it'll be good.
I tried sc \\servername create "BitCoin Server" binPath="C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -server -datadir=d:\bitcoin" DisplayName="BitCoin Server" start=auto
but that didn't work
in the options it has auto start on login but not on system start
Can someone help?

Check out the daemon instead of the full qt client. This will probably work much better as a service. If you're using Win7 or 8, it'll be located in "c:\Program Files(x86)\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe". If you want to query your wallet, you'll have to use the command line if this is running.
HTH's
Any thoughts?
