Ok, I have RPC miner and a bitcoin wallet setup.  I thought I did everything right but I keep getting this...

"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"

Host = http://api.bitcoin.cz
server port = 8332

any ideas?

Thanks so much in advance

What kind of rig are you running? You may not want to solo mine at all.


I'm running a mac pro with two ATI5770 cards.  I've done the whole pool thing but I'm kind of in the all or nothing phase right now.  I may cycle back around to pool mining but I wanted to get this up and running just as a curiosity.  Again guys, thanks for the posts.  I appreciate the community support.


Two things:
1) If you want to mine on a mac you should use boot camp to boot into windows or linux; macs are awful at mining.
2) If you get this online as a solo miner, you will not even reomtely have a chance of finding a block within the first 32 months, at current difficulty, considering 800MH/s; even then, luck must be on your side.
