I have the Apollo powered up and I am in the dashboard. I am not connecting to the miner or to blocksfactory. I have burned a new Apollo image that was successful, entered the username, password and address in the pool dashboard. I have not added the proxy address. Is this needed? Here is the message I am getting in my dashboard.
It seems there is a problem to communicate with the miner, check error message.
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4028
That means bfgminer is not connecting to your pool...double check your pool info/username.
I have tried both litecoinpool and blocksfactory using cut and paste to enter usernames and passwords. I can't get either to work. I have logged out of the mining pools and used the same username and passwords (cut and paste that I used on the Apollo dashboard) and had success logging back in. Do I need to enter the proxy address?
