Another point of interest, I entered the address (http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332) into my web browser and got a prompt for the username and password which were accepted. This at least discounts any firewall related issues and suggests perhaps something to do with libcurl maybe?

cgminer error "No servers could be used! Exiting"

Hi,

I hope I'm not reposting a question. I'm trying to run cgminer version 2.2.0 with only cpu mining enabled. I just want to generate some namecoins.

I invoke the command as follows:

./cgminer -o http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u xxx.yyy -p zzz --syslog --donation 0.5

The username and password are as displayed by the mining pool. However, I'm not able to get access to the pool. The syslog output is:

Code:
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer: Started cgminer 2.2.0
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer[10849]: Testing pool http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer[10849]: HTTP request failed: couldn't connect to host
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer[10849]: Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer[10849]: Unable to get work from pool 0 http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332
Jan 29 21:39:24 Desktop cgminer[10849]: Pool: 0  URL: http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332  User: xxx.yyy  Password: zzz

Couple of things to note are:
  • I've had the same problem with cgminer version 2.1.2
  • The older version (2.1.2) once worked successfully (about 16 or so hours) with a different mining pool. Since then it was unsuccessful.

I'm not sure if I'm missing anything. Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks.
