Newbie can't connect to any pools
-
are you using a proxy server to connect to the internet?
the Stratum protocol doesn’t work when a proxy is used.
You can try the following:
bfgminer â€"scrypt -o [url=http://pool.maeh.org:19327]http://pool.maeh.org:19327[/url] -u Your_Feathercoin_wallet_address_to_receive_coins -p x
The password is anything and the user is your feathercoin address.
It’s a p2pool pool *gg*
p2pools are automatically detecting whether to use stratum or not and react accordingly
If pool.maeh.org works, you definitively have a problem with the stratum protocol

I’m not using any proxy server.
And to stratum protocol works fine with ltc pools (i use wemineltc so it’s strange why wemineftc does not work).
I tried that P2Pool you suggested, that wont work either. I get “pool 0 slow/down or url or credentials invalid”.
Also my ftc client (latest) is “out of sync” and “0 active connections” tho I’ve allowed it from my firewall to use internet traffic (started the client few hours ago) -
From your information, 2 unrelated software codes have problems connecting to the internet.
Do a internet speedtest, call your ISP and test the network?

That’s exactly what makes it so odd to me. Speedtest is fine, getting ~400 Mbps in, ~20Mbps out so that’s working for sure, tested btc mining, works, ltc mining as we speak so my connection is working. Is there something special drivers or other requirements feathercoin needs in order to work? btw running 64-bit win 7 and my gpu driver is 13.152.1.8000 if that matters anything

I am not firm with bfgminer and this might only be a small oddity: Have you tried --scrypt when you tried [url=http://pool.maeh.org:19327/]http://pool.maeh.org:19327/[/url] ? The command line in the suggestion only said -scrypt. I do use cgminer on my pool (i run pool.maeh.org) and it works fine for me.
Have you tried with --scrypt? And i assume the command line call for the LTC p2pools (as pool.maeh.org) lists a FTC payout address as username?

My .bat looks like this
[code]bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o http://pool.maeh.org:19327 -u 6qixdy9diFE8ymQJJ7fQgkYh3Ew7VLhWyR -p x[/code]
and no luck. My bfgminer works fine with btc and ltc mining, but ftc is no luck.Tried cgminer also, it only says “no devices detected” when I start .exe, and if I use cgminer.exe --scrypt -o [url=http://pool.maeh.org:19327]http://pool.maeh.org:19327[/url] -u 6qixdy9diFE8ymQJJ7fQgkYh3Ew7VLhWyR -p x it just crashes.
I think there’s something essential I’m missing here.

I am attached to that meah p2pool so that is OK, it can not be the software because ltc works. Your ftc address is not in ltc or ftc block chain.
It must be your settings, although I can’t see whats wrong from your clip,
I can only sugest create a new bat file from scratch for ftc. Or try cgminer.

Where did you download bfgminer.exe from?

I did a little experiment. I tried same ltc pool .bat for bfgminer 3.2.7, bfgminer 3.6.0, bfg miner 3.8.0 and cgminer 3.5.0. bfgminer 3.6.0 was only one working! with all the other versions and with cgminer I get same errors that are in the picture at my first post. There’s something really wrong in my pc

Little more experimenting: I’ve been mining only in wemineltc, using their us server. Now I tried to use both their global server and china server, neither of them work for me. But with that us server I connect and start hashing instantly. And Im not even located in US…
Ok, did some more testing. every pool that has server with port 3334, that server works! any other server from that same pool, does not work. Something with port 3334…
-
Got it working now, still dont know whats wrong tho. Only pool I got working is this small pro-tech pool with 3% fee but it has port 3334. fcpool with port 3334 does not work.
-
With the same command line arguments?

[/quote]Yes, and that is exactly what makes no sense to me.
For example, I can connect to give-me-coins:3334 (ltc pool), but if I change the port to 3336 (ftc pool) and keep everythin else the same, no connection, same errors as in first post.
Another thing, I installed ftc client to my laptop that is connected via same router as my pc, instant connection and syncin up. I think there’s something wrong with my windows settings in my pc. Dunno what tho. I’ve already checked firewall
