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

Alright, awesome that fixed it. Accidentally edited the config inside the application rather than the one in the Application Support file - that was a nightmare for a while. Thanks for your help! Please don't apologize lol you've made an awesome ap. I think I was mistaken about the hash and I'm using BitMinter which takes your work from the last 10 sessions and since I didn't have 10 full sessions yet I was thinking I was under-hashing b/c I'm a noob Smiley

Holy my fellow bitcoin amigos,

Total bit n00b here using a jalapeno with BFG Miner. I'm using stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 and keep getting this error every minute or so:
[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? It seems like most of my activity is through pool 0.

Edit: nvm, this appears to be due to my software instead of on BitMinter's end in any way - glad to be part of the family!

Is it possible for sites like these to harness the computing power of its users in order to mine bitcoins? I thought I read it somewhere but it didn't make sense to me at all since I wasn't aware how a website could access it's users GPUs (or at least it seemed like it would have to be very inefficient and CPU driven). Was this a myth or is this a real thing?
