getinfo showing current difficulty is right
i have all the blocks downloaded

am i supposed to see this in GUIMINER:

Difficulty 1 hashes:3 - last @ (TIME HERE) | 301 Mhash/s

That looks good to me, your "hashes" count of 3 should go up over time

Here is a full GUIMiner guide if you need more material to referance http://bitclockers.com/forums/index.php?topic=8.msg14#msg14

Thanks pal, the video is simple, i can pool mine and all that, just never did solo before, not sure if its actually doing anything or contributing. I assume BTC's are found, my console will show me.

Can't help you with that - I've never even looked at GUIMiner. Sad

what do you use?

Use the getinfo command (bitcoind getinfo or bitcoin getinfo)

You can see the total size of the blockchain here:

No problem - keep your coins.

I have 128099 blocks already! but why is it saying difficulty 1: hashes 3, i browsed the forums here and it said its not supposed to do that, and another guy said it is. im so confuzzzled

You can't mine until you have downloaded the complete blockchain. If you do a "getinfo" and see the complexity is low or the total blocks is wrong.... you can't mine.

I would suggest hopping on a pool (like eligius - hint hint) until you've gotten all the blocks.

I've also had to occasionally add some addnodes to bitcoin.conf to "kickstart" the download. You might grab a few from here if you can't get any connections -

I downloaded the blocks from the website provided in this forum, unzipped it and replaced be block01.dat file and hte 2nd file.
How do I know when all the blocks have been downloaded?

Also, whats your BTC addy, ill tip ya Wink

thanks for the help!

I setup solo mining, setup the bitcoin.conf file with all the logins
however, when I run bitcoin.exe -server and connect with guiminer, it still shows difficulty 1: hashes 3.

what am I doing wrong? Im at block 128091 - are the blocks not downloaded yet?

Even with phoenix, I cam getting 0 accepted, 0 rejected, i see no progress except my hash rate.

Any idea? ill donate my last .something bitcoins over!
