Can someone please confirm that it's not necessary to include
"--proto stratum
on the options ? Granted I'm probably an idiot but I've mined some stuff some years ago and can for the heck of me find out why my address is not showing up on Ethermine pool. I've started the miner more than two hours ago and it still doesn't show up.
I've found out that the default option is
proxy
, but I've spent some hours searching around and seen many forum/tutorials that completely omit specifying the
--proto
option.
My batch file (don't laugh....):
miner --algo ethash --server eu1.ethermine.org:4444 --user 0x337233d1b03da75849471f3e1aacbea7ee582a7d.worker1
I've veryfind the address as a valid address on some online address verifier.
Everything seems to be working fine (but again, been many years since I've mined anything), with shares being reported as accepted and good efficiency.
Just restarted the rig to but everything seems to be the same...
Thanks!
I found out what the problem was, but it's still a bit unnerving. I was using the Brave browser with Tor because I was too lazy to install the Tor browser for now.. Trying without the Tor privacy option it works. And with Tor option but the Brave shields off it still doesn't work so my conclusion is that Ethermine pool is blocking some functionality through Tor, which sucks. Maybe it's something else and would like to be proven wrong, but if it is I'm gonna switch pool as soon as I get my 1st payment.
Why are they blocking people from protecting themselves against tyrannical governments ?! Sorry, it pisses me off. This means that you won't be able to check your mining status / modify payments using Tor.
Can someone try their address through Tor to confirm ? (You can use Brave browser with privacy with Tor option or Tor browser itself).
