Topic: I can solo mine but I cant connect to pools (SOLVED) (Read 2173 times)
Thank you for you response but it seems to be working fine now.
try using a command-line miner, and see if that works. if it doesn't, post your startup parameters. (command line miners are easier to debug 
)
)
I'm still not exactly sure what I do and dont need to for each specific scenario but I thought I'd just try cover every base.
It seems to be working now. I left it trying to connect while I wrote this thread and did some more research and after about 10-15 mins it just connected?!
Anyone any thoughts on why it would do this?

you don't need to configure bitcoin.conf if you're pool mining.
I've just got my self set up with GUIminer but I seem to have a problem. I've got my account setup on bitcoins.cz and Ive got it linked to my Mybitcoin account and I have assigned a worker.
I can start up GUIminer and start solo mining with absolutely no problems but when I try to join a pool I get the message "problems communicating with bitcoin rpc"
I have a bitcoin.conf file created with all the rpcusername=, rpcpassword= and rpcallowip= all setup.
Port 8332 is open and both bitcoin and guiminer are allowed through my firewall. Any kind of spyware or peerblock is currently disabled while I try figure this out.
I have tried every pool I can in the list in guiminer apart from the ones where you have to sign up. I've no problem signing up to a pool but I just figured it would be a waste of time untill I can sort this problem out. There a few you dont have to sign up for and I cant connect to any of them.
Any thoughts?
