With version 1.4.0 and 1.4.1, I have some trouble connecting to the rpc server.
cgminer exists with code:
No pools active! Exiting.
I tried it several times with the same starting parameters:
./cgminer -o
http://uswest.btcguild.com:8332 -u myusername -p mypassword -w 256 -I 8 --verbose
and got only 1 connect where only the first gpu was starting to work.
I tested 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 precompiled version for ubuntu with the same behavior.
Version 1.3.1 is working fine.
