Just a bad day I guess... Cannot change pools
-
So pool.burstcoin.eu is down and has been down for like 6 hours and counting. Decided an hour ago to try and change pools. Well wishful thinking on my part. You try to set the reward assignment, get charged your 1 burst... And wait... Try launching the miner.... Miner still pointing to the wrong pool. Try setting the reward assignment again... And wait... Still pointing to the wrong pool when I start the miner...
What did I do to make the Burst Gods angry? Any ideas why I am not able to change the pool?
-
How long did you wait for the four blocks to complete?
-
@socalguy Like 15-20 between attempts I would say... At this point I will just come back at the end of the day... Doesn't appear I am going to be mining any Burst today at this rate anyway...
-
btw, which pool are you trying to get into? Some have reported there are some issues today.
-
@socalguy I was trying to move to http://pool.burstcoin.party:8124/
-
@Longsnowsm hmm, give http://pool.burstcoin.party:8081/ a try
-
@socalguy That is the address I tried to use for the reward assignment change. My wallet says it was done. However when I start the miner it appears to still be pointing to pool.burstcoin.eu. So I am not sure what has happened that it is stuck.
-
@Longsnowsm hmm weird, ok thank you for letting me know. I'll look into.

Looks like I need to upgrade the wallet in order to use this pool. When I try to type it in the dropdown for the pools it blows up. Simply changing the reward assignment doesn't do it. So this is my fault. Now trying to figure out how to upgrade the wallet without recreating addresses etc.
-
I upgraded the wallet and I didn't need to do anything but execute the file and install the new wallet.
Just checking but you are talking about this wallet correct? https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/16/burst-client-for-windows-v0-3-5-all-in-one-wallet-plotting-mining/139

@socalguy Yes, that is the one. I will go ahead and try to just run it. I was afraid to blow away the existing wallet addresses by just running the new one. The way my day has been going that would be my luck.
I did get the existing miner to let me input that URL and it is mining now. I will try the wallet upgrade tonight. Thanks for your feedback.

Just a precaution but take a screenshot of your wallet.
Also ensure you have the passphrase and Burst address written down somewhere safe.
I'm paranoid haha
