Total newbie and totally clueless



  • @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.

    @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.

    :)



  • @haitch

    I'm going to re-watch that vid again and figure out what the plot thing is.

    I'll get back to you and let you know if it's all ok or shout out again for more help.

    Thanks!


  • admin

    @Leece If you have questions - ask, we were all where you are once, trying to get our head around this stuff. Once it clicks, you'll be a Burst Master.



  • @haitch

    Ok, I got to the plotting part of the vid and I looked in my plot folder and it does start with 20486

    I just checked the miner and I don't appear to be having any error messages so it seems that it is working perfectly.

    I can't begin to thank you guys enough.

    I know that once I get the knack of it, I'll be fine. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Plus, once I get more knowledgeable, I'll be more than happy to help other newbies, just as you guys have helped me. (I used to run the support section for a large dating site, so I'm not really clueless generally, just when it comes to mining, apparently!)

    Thanks again.



  • @haitch

    Just one more quick question - if I X out of the burst miner, and the icon vanishes from my taskbar, does that mean it continues to run in the background, or do I need to leave it open and running?

    hoping that makes sense



  • @Leece yes, you need to let it open. have applications tho that can make it run in background but I think is fun to watch the miner working ;)



  • @JohnathanMoura

    Thanks for the info. I thought that was the case, but I just wanted to double check.

    I don't mind it running the way it is. It'll be good for me to watch it as part of my learning curve as well.
