hello macCompiler. thanks for putting the time in for us brand-newbians. when you have a moment could you look at where i'm at? i run your snazzy little program thusly:
RPCminer setup wizard
CPU based Bitcoin miner.
------------------------
Server host name or IP address:
http://deepbit.netServer port number: 8332
Miner username: username
Miner password: password
Starting RPCminer (CPU)...
--------------------------
Client will start 2 miner threads
Work will be refreshed every 4000 ms
Could not retrieve work from RPC server.
CURL return value = 6
No blocks are being hashed right now. This can happen if the application is
still starting up, you supplied incorrect parameters, or there is a
communications error connecting to the RPC server.
Could not retrieve work from RPC server.
CURL return value = 6
it remains this way ad infinitum. what is CURL? i ran a test by putting in a gibberish use/pass and got the same output. i am able to long into deepbit's website with the username/password that i used here. see what i'm missing? by the way, if there is a good guide out there somewhere you'd rather i scour instead of bugging you with questions, don't hesitate to point me in its direction. good night.
