I have downloaded and tried out pooler cpuminer (from https://sourceforge.net/projects/cpuminer/) to see how mining on CPU would turn out, and it seems I'm still getting the same "stratum requested work restart" message...

That message means the pool is working. You haven't been able to mine sha256d with a CPU or GPU for 10 years.
Only high powered ASICS are suitable for sha256d.

You need to do more research.

You're right. I'm still very new to this. Thanks for all your help!

This sub forum is usually for pool issues, your pool seems to be working fine. The problem you're having
might be better discussed in the mining section.

The problem is no devices. You need something to mine with, a GPU, an ASIC, even a CPU depending
on the algorithm. Cgminer is usually used for ASICs. If you have one connected is isn't being detected.

Code:

[2022-02-16 14:03:51] Started cgminer 4.9.0
[2022-02-16 14:03:53] No devices detected!
[2022-02-16 14:03:53] Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit

You also need to post more info like your hardware setup and the coin, algorithm you're trying to mine, and of course
the device you are intending to mine with.

Thank you so much for your reply!

I'm trying to mine Techcoin (https://techcoin.info), which uses sha256d algo. I'm not using ASIC, only my own laptop (GeForce GTX 1050 GPU + Intel Core i7-8550U CPU). I tried mining with minerd (as it's described in the Techcoin website, just with my pool's URL as the 'url' value in the minerd.json config file) but it would give me the 'HTTP request failed: Received HTTP/0.9 when not allowed' error:

Code:

[2022-02-17 11:43:11] 2 miner threads started, using 'sha256d' algorithm.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to crypto and I've just set up my own mining pool and installed + configured the daemon. Now when I'm trying to mine on my mining pool using cgminer 4.9.0, I keep getting the "Stratum from pool 0 requested work restart" message:

Code:

I tried googling around but it I didn't seem to find anything helpful. Most answers I found are about reducing the number of rejected/discarded shares but don't address the cases where no shares are accepted at all, which is the problem I'm facing. Is this a problem with the mining pool or the miner? How do I fix this?

Thanks a ton in advance!

Sincerely,
newlymintedcryptolover
