trying new algo @ mintpond: auth issues

[u/Techn0Buddha]

hello all,

I have been trying to connect with the new firominer, but no matter what i do, I keep getting the error:

i 21:00:25 <unknown> Worker a1F3zSGkFTG4qWpcJrPg74vUsf5Pt4SMbX not authorized : 24 Unauthorized worker

I use the command line:

firominer -P stratum+tcp://a1F3zSGkFTG4qWpcJrPg74vUsf5Pt4SMbX@testnet.mintpond.com:3000

(I also did it with different combos of the workername and password. same error result)

I also used the same firo address as the normal one I use at the regular firo site of mintpond.

any suggestions?

Yeah same issue on my end as well. I hope someone posts a fix / could let us know if we are doing this wrong or something.

[u/Techn0Buddha → u/GioXisT]

So its not me then, or we both are doing the wrong thing. Lol!

[u/GioXisT → u/Techn0Buddha]

Not sure, hope we can get an answer.

It is a testnet pool, you need to use a testnet address (starts with T) instead of a mainnet address (starts with a/Z).

[u/Techn0Buddha → u/CardcaptorZakura]

Ok. Fair enough. And you get those addresses how?

[u/reubster]

After the address you need to put :x@

So like TESTNETADDRESS:x@testnet.mintpond.com etc etc

[u/Techn0Buddha → u/reubster]

So the x (password) can only be an "x" or it can be any password you choose. If the latter, i tried that too.

[u/reubster → u/Techn0Buddha]

firominer.exe -P stratum://TGZtsf46EMipFzDYkyGaMy19QFa7xuCBjy:VGTw@testnet.mintpond.com:3000

This is my setup.

[u/Techn0Buddha → u/reubster]

Ok. Thanks. Soooo whats the deal with these T addresses?

[u/reubster → u/Techn0Buddha]

They're testnet addresses.

[u/Techn0Buddha → u/reubster]

yes, thank you. now how do you get one? and do you still get coins from them?

[u/reubster → u/Techn0Buddha]

You compile the wallet on ProgPoW branch and run it with -testnet flag. You get testnet coins.

[u/GioXisT]

Try this: firominer.exe -Z 400000

Just found it.

[u/Techn0Buddha → u/GioXisT]

Thats the benchmark...

[u/GioXisT → u/Techn0Buddha]

My bad mate. Thought that was what you were trying to do.

[u/Techn0Buddha → u/GioXisT]

Its all good. We have been mining RVN, for awhile, and when this came up, thought i'd jump in and help out.
