Total newbie and totally clueless



  • @JohnathanMoura

    Thanks Johnathon.

    I've watched that vid quite a few times and I'm still clueless. I'm usually quite good at figuring this stuff out but am having quite a few issues with this.

    I'm sorry that I'm not able to pick it up and run with it but it just seems like I'm banging my head against a brick wall.

    I do appreciate your help and the promptness of your reply.



  • @Leece Don't worry, we are here to help...
    can you access your account "wallet"? what is your Address ?



  • @JohnathanMoura

    BURST-R25R-J24T-5SPY-APFMD

    Is that what you mean? Every time I log in it's different? From what I have watched on the vid tutorials I think I need to spent a Burst coin to fix an address forever for me. then again, I could be wrong

    facepalm

    Thanks so much for trying to help me.



  • @Leece No, the wallet doesn't change. did you put this address before plotting ?
    edit:Sorry, Yes this is what i meant..



  • @Leece check if you have any coin now ?



  • @JohnathanMoura

    Uhh, sounds like that's probably where I went wrong. Nope, I didn't enter the addy.

    I assume it's ok to X out of the minging program and start again, this time putting the addy in the start mining popup.

    Uhh, just tried to play with the recipient/rewards buttons and apparently I need a burstcoin?

    I'm so sorry for not understanding this. I feel really stupid.

    @Leece - We restructured the deadlines on some of the pools due to and influx of big miners. We've setup a pool for smaller miners - winning blocks aren't as frequesnt, but payout per block is better - and it accepts the shorter deadlines than burst-team.us does. Move you miner over to pool.burstcoin.eu

    @Leece If you Account ID is changing every time you login, you're going to a different account. Your pass phrase needs to be entered EXACTLY as initially set. A leading or trailing space changes the pass phrase and gives a totally different account.

    Find your correct passphrase, and only use that.



  • @haitch

    Thanks for the tip. I was purely guessing on the pool I selected. i reads that if you had less that 25t to use that one so that's the one that I did select.

    I'll select the one you suggested next though! Thanks!



  • @haitch

    wince

    Ok, guess I need to start again from scratch because, like an idiot, I never saved the initial passphrase. Will start all over again from scratch and this time, I'll save the passphrase.

    Thanks so much. I promise I'll do better once I get the hang of this.


  • admin

    @Leece pool.burst-team.us was the preferred pool for smaller miners, but after the influx we created a couple of additional pools to spread the load, with the .EU one reserved for smaller miners.



  • @haitch

    Ok, I just started all over. Now after I select the Start Mining box, I put my passphrase in, the addy in on the boxes on the left of the Mining box area, clicked submit but now I get the error message {"errorDescription":"Unknown account","errorCode":5}



  • @Leece
    Ok, just used the faucet and it's apparently sent me some burstcoin. It hasn't yet arrived in my account but I am sure that it will.


  • admin

    @Leece You don't/didn't need to start over. Just change the reward assignment to pool.burstcoin.eu, wait four blocks, then start mining.



  • @haitch

    Ok, got some progress happening here. Now I have a new error code

    @Leece That not an error - that's the confirmation you re-assigned your reward assignment. Wait four blocks, you're good to go. You can start the miner now, but for the first 3-4 rounds you'll get an error that your reward assignment does not match pool. but after that you'll be actively mining.



  • @Leece you will probably need to plot again. but with this new address.


  • admin

    @Leece - Do all your plot files filenames start with "2048641972547150552" or something else ? If something else, then as Jonathon said, you'll need to delete and re-plot. It's essential you get the wallet passphrase perfectly correct every time.

  • @JohnathanMoura

    You guys totally rock! Thanks so much for helping me with this.

    I'll try again and wait the four blocks and see how that goes.

    After I see how it goes, I'll replot with the addy Johnathon gave me.

    Thanks so much for all your help.



  • @haitch

    It appears to be working!

    Thank you so much for all your help. You guys are wonderful and I am truly appreciative.

    :)
