Mining behind a proxy?
by
bonksnp
on 29/05/2013, 15:16:04 UTC
So I wanted to setup a couple miners at work, but we use a .pac proxy file to connect to the internet.  The pool I'm part of uses port 3333.

Someone recommended I try proxifier and see if I could forward my connection to my house and then connect to the pool.  Is this possible?  I'm a bit of a noob with proxy/port forwarding and setting up a home machine as a proxy server, but I'm working on it.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had experience with this and if I'm just wasting time trying to set all of this up.

If it helps any I'm using CGMiner on Win7.

Sadly no ltc :-)
Well, I'll give this a shot next week.  If I can get it up and running, I'll take it in the ass over at BTC-E and convert a few over to BTC for ya.  Grin

use proxifier?
Shocked

Quote
Proxifier is a program that allows network applications that do not support working through proxy servers to operate through an HTTP(S) or SOCKS proxy or a chain of proxy servers.

I'll certainly try that out.  Sounds like it'll do exactly what I need.

Thanks!

Edit:  And if this does work, bitpop will have a few LTC heading his way (assuming you accept LTC?). Wink

I apologize if this is a noob question, but I've been googling and searching the forums for a while to no avail.

I'm trying to mine on a network that requires a web browser to use an auto config script (.pac proxy file). Am I reading right that I cannot mine behind this?  The way its configured in IE for example is under Auto config script:  "http://proxyserver:port/proxyfile.pac"

From the OP:
Quote
Stratum uses direct TCP connections to the pool and thus it will NOT currently
work through a http proxy but will work via a socks proxy if you need to use
one. If you input the stratum port directly into your configuration, or use the
special prefix "stratum+tcp://" instead of "http://", cgminer will ONLY try to
use stratum protocol mining.

So does this mean I would need to use -o "stratum+tcp://proxyserver:port/proxyfile.pac|http://miningpool:port" ?  Or some version of that?

I tried several different versions of that but could not seem to get it to work.

Would appreciate any help and happily donate the first few LTC I mine to whoever can help me figure this out! :p

Thanks!

BTC only method of payment?

Yes.  BTC for automated checkout.  I could take LTC as well manually.
If you'll take LTC, I'll grab 4 of them (assuming the discount for buying 4).  let me know

Re: Encrypted wallet.dat, lost password, any solutions?

if it really was you who put the password the best piece of hardware you can use right now is your brain

relax and try to recreate the whole scenario, time, place, mindset of when you were leaning on the bitcoin client, then put your hands on the keyboard, focus and start trying

hopefully the password will emerge

source: my own experience, I have set up a password on a 50 btc worth wallet. This is how it happened:

It was late night in a hostel, the only computer avaiable, not only a public a PC but I had to use standing up, and, to increase the anxiety level, I was drinking beer. Put the password and shutdown the PC. Then I left the place I was for three days, here is where I needed the password and: WTF?! Wrong password! Don't panic.  At this time the password only existed on my brain, then just said to myself I was going to remeber. I did exactly as I told you above. Took me one day to go back to the place I had set up the password. And two more days acting like "12:01" movie to finally extract it from my mind. The pass was a 12 chars long phrase.

Hope this inspires you. Cheesy
I know this is probably way out there, but I just wanted to say thanks for this. 

I recently was having trouble getting into my LTC wallet and even emailed myself clues as to what the password was.  But I could NOT get in.  I started googling solutions and came across this thread.  I read this post and I admit sorta rolled my eyes.  But figured "why not....what have I got to lose".  Turns out I ended up typing part of my anniversary wrong (even confirmed the date with the wife!  Grin) and it was still wrong.  Finally I said, "I wonder if I typed my daughters BD instead?" which happens to be the same numbers, just different format.  VIOLA.

So thanks for this!  If you accept LTC I'd love to send a few your way! Wink

Also, for anyone else who might be in the same predicament and hopefully save you some time and frustration.  I did quite a bit of googling and I'd guess probably 80% of the password issues people were having were from mistyping it in twice.  I know it seems like it would be difficult to do, but it's way more common than I would have thought.

I pre-ordered a 30GH unit and I'm still holding out.  The thing with ASICs are to get them ASAP so you can maximize your potential profit.  I know I'm taking a gamble, but who isn't with crypto currency?
When did you order?

Matrox cards for mining?
by
bonksnp
on 15/04/2013, 03:26:12 UTC
Hi all, been lurking for a while but haven't been able to find a concrete answer on this.  I did a search on these boards as well as google.

I have an extra Matrox card from a customer build that was never used and is just been sitting here.  It's a pretty decent card and wanted to put it to use.  Are Matrox cards pretty much considered the same as Nvidia cards in that they aren't worth the time to mine?

The card I have specifically is a Matrox M9140-E512LAF.

Thanks for any help!
