Hi guys, I'm trying some mining pools to see which is the best for my needs. After testing Slush, today I registered on Multipool.us to start mining there. I set up my worker, added my wallet address and checked out the mining URLs here, where it says:
Bitcoin: stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:3332 Bitcoin (Classic): stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:3345
I want to mine Bitcoin Classic and I'm using a little USB miner called Gekko 2-Ppac (which uses two BM1384 chips and works at around 26Gh/s), so I started cgminer with the following command (obviously replacing user.worker with my real user and worker names):
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:3345 -u user.worker -p x
It starts, detects the miner, and then just says "waiting for work to be available from pools", but the pool doesn't look like responding. After a minute or two it just gives up and says to press any key to quit.
I tried some more configs changing the password (which is actually not required so it shouldn't be the problem), the worker name etc, but it doesn't look like it's working. I then tried to mine Bitcoin (not classic) using the port 3332 (see above) and the exact same command, and the miner started running without a problem at the expected speed.
Is there something I'm missing about Bitcoin Classic that is required to mine? Could that be something about my USB miner? I don't think so, I mean it's still SHA-256 so there shouldn't be any problem. What should I do?
Thanks for reading through this, any help would be really appreciated.
