Ah, I wasn't aware needed test net address thank you.

Your address is for mainnet and not testnet. It should start with a T and not a B.

Also you need to remove “stratum+tcp://“ from the url

Yes, Please see config. Using NHEQMiner 5-c. see pic attached.

nheqminer -l stratum+tcp://testnet-pool.bithereum.network:3857 -u BAbkX7PvwZQRKQ4UBzjUwBANSKLEE5nheu.w1 -p anything

edit: Tried FunakoshiMiner 5.2 again as well, same issue.

The release is available for all operating systems Linux, Windows (32 and 64), and MacOS: https://github.com/BTHPOS/BTH/releases

Are you using the Nhq/Fuki present on our repo? Also, are you using a testnet address that starts with a T?

Try to connect to our test pool if you haven't done so yet and let us know if that works:

[Configuration]
- Username: your testnet Bithereum address
- Password: anything
- URL: testnet-pool.bithereum.network
- Port: 3857

Could I get some help? been trying various pools and miners still can't get my rig to work on the test net. Just tried Nhq/Fuki miner and got errors. Seems mostly to be all the test pools. I get Stratum error or something. Even Copy paste examples gets me "no connection" errors. With FUKI miner I get errors as well.

Remember miners, Bithereum is including a MASSIVE difficulty reduction window to kickstart the network. The first 20,000 blocks will be .19 difficulty. Read more while you still have the chance! https://medium.com/bithereum-network/bth-mining-difficulty-reduction-window-8d0e2e535627

Fork is coming from Bitcoin block #555,555, estimated December 28th!

Our BTH redemption guide for both BTC and ETH holders has been published and can be found here: https://medium.com/bithereum-network/btc-eth-holder-redemption-guide-for-bth-72d6632b04af

Super simple guide to redeem BTH and become part of the Bithereum Network ecosystem!

Hi all, our Ethereum hard-spoon snapshot was a success! On top of that we've officially announced the block we will be forking from Bitcoin, block #555,555 which is estimated to occur on December 28th.

More details regarding this information can be found on our blog here: https://medium.com/bithereum-network/bithereums-hard-spoon-snapshot-is-complete-c1814024ea9a

Mining pool update: Equihub added; testnet link: https://bth-test.equihub.pro/

Mining pool update: Altpool added; testnet link: http://test-bth.altpool.pro/

It is up again, it was down briefly before but you should be able to connect a miner now without any issues. Let us know if you have any problems and we'd be glad to help!

sorry meant to say test net pool not working

http://testnet-pool.bithereum.network

was going to try connect a miner

Testnet is working, here's the testnet explorer: http://testnet-explorer.bithereum.network

Are you trying to connect to testnet using a full node or a miner?

test net not working ?

You may be right in that one day ASICs will become cheaper and more affordable for the average miner, however as it stands today it's infeasible, and the main issue is that the largest manufacturer of these machines also happens to be the largest mining pool which is where the centralization stems from. By the time ASICs become cheaper, the top manufacturers/pools will most likely have come up with even more powerful machines that makes the cheaper ASICs obsolete, which will not solve the issue of centralization one bit. This will be an endless cycle.

You're also missing the overall goal of this project, as we believe there is a flaw in PoW as a whole, which is why we're switching to PoS. PoW has served it's purpose up until now, however there's heaping amounts of evidence to show that PoW is unsustainable for the long-term. Not just in terms of environmentally, but also in terms of efficiency and centralization. If you'd like, we go into detail in our whitepaper (pages 7-10) with plenty of sources to back up our claims: https://bithereum.network/storage/whitepaper.pdf. We also go into detail from pages 10-12 about how PoS helps solve this issue. Specifically Ethereum's Casper model which solves the issues of the nothing at stake problem as well as long range attacks and others.

The goal of starting with an ASIC resistant Equihash algorithm is so that for the year or so leading up to our PoS implementation, we hedge against the risk of a conglomerate hijacking the network and ensure it's long-term sustainability. While also allowing the average person anywhere in the world to participate in mining which gets crypto into the hands of more people and helps the goal of global adoption.

You are contradict to yourself. Small farms leads to decentralization.

There was centralization of GPU mining at one time as well, until prices came down and small farms began to grow.

The same process will happen with ASIC miners. As prices get cheaper more rigs will be purchased by individuals and that will solve your much worried about but mostly inconsequential centralization argument.
