Starting minig on Windows

Post by fess »

Hello!
I'am doing something wrong.
I download namecoind then I create bitcoin.conf file. Run namecoind and create new address (how can I use it ?? Where can I see mined namecoins? What programs should I use for it?).
Then just run namecoind.exe and execute bitcoin-miner:
bitcoin-miner.exe -o http://127.0.0.1:8336 -u [hide]-p [hide] -t 8 -a 5
I see that:
Mining for http://127.0.0.1:8336
8 threads Using SSE2
0 MHash/s

What is wrong?

I have no idea...
Now, I am trying to mining at home - gpu-miner connected to local server, speed 320mh/s and from other gpu - speed 60mh/s.
But I haven't got no one coin during last 5 hours...
How long time does it take to generate block of coins with this speed?

It should take around 4 hours per block.

You should see them with :

Code: Select all

namecoind.exe listtransactions
NamecoinID: id/khal
GPG : 9CC5B92E965D69A9
NMC: N1KHAL5C1CRzy58NdJwp1tbLze3XrkFxx9

This list is empty:
C:\namecoin_win32\namecoind.exe listtransactions
[
]

Is it normal?

Average time is 4 hours for 380MH/s. So, with 5 hours you are just a little bit unlucky.
But if your miner is showing "0 MHash/s", then there is a problem...

I run command "getinfo":
C:\namecoin_win32\namecoind.exe getinfo
{
"version" : 32150,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 6304,
"connections" : 8,
"proxy" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"difficulty" : 1264.49395237,
"hashespersec" : 0,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1306426253,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"errors" : ""
}
"hashespersec" : 0 - It is normal?
But both miners show hash speed (320mh and 60mh)
Now it lasts 7-8 ours and no one block has been found (((

Yes, namecoind does not generate itself, so 0 is normal.

If there is still nothing in listtransactions, either you use an old windows version which only show new blocks after 120 blocks, or you are unlucky, or there is an unknown problem...

if you still have nothing in 24h... use the namecoin mining pool :p (http://bitparking.com/pool/)
