Hi Guys,

Help a noob out Smiley

I'm using BitMinter + a Jalapeno running on BFG Miner through MacMiner. I keep getting this error:
[2013-08-10 11:48:21] HTTP request failed: Failed connect to 176.31.208.222:9332; Connection refused
[2013-08-10 11:48:21] HTTP request failed: Failed connect to 176.31.208.222:9332; Connection refused
[2013-08-10 11:48:21] Stratum connect failed to pool 2: Failed connect to 176.31.208.222:9332; Connection refused

Everything else is working perfectly, this just seems to be slightly decreasing my hash rate. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Hey, sorry about that, it's a notice that one of the auto-configured backup pools are down, I need to change it in the next version! As long as at least two of the pools are working fine (it sets up three by default, if you enter your address for rewards) you shouldn't be losing any hash rate.

To change it for now you can go to miner settings and edit the config file manually - just replace 176.31.208.222:9332 with nogleg.com:9332 then restart the miner - let me know if that does change your hash rate though, and I'll check that out!

The next version will also have a few more summary views including full API output too Smiley
