I managed to create an account on miningrigrentals. But does anyone have a stratum address:port for mining tBTC?

Testnet's hashrate is over 500TH/s now. I seriously want in on that mining.

Tried signing up for miningrigrentals but they didn’t send me the confirmation email. Can’t set up an account.

So, just ran a test on nicehash and it says pool is incompatible. It didn’t have the sha256t option, just sha256. Mempool shows nicehash testing on testnet though. Looks like my pool setup is off. Any better pool…

I’m only getting 119GH/s on testnet. Doesn't seem like I need an ASIC after all. But still wanna give it a shot.

First gotta find out where to rent an S9. My node's set up, P2Pool's running, but no miner yet. The config generator for Bitcoin Core is pretty handy too.

Thanks for the tips! I got Bitcoin Core running as a testnet full node, pruned to two months. I entered the RPC details but now I’m stuck with cgminer saying there’s a config error. It keeps saying "invalid parameters…

Yeah, I don’t mix wallets between testnet and mainnet to avoid mess-ups. Got Bitcoin Core running on a separate machine, pruned it down to two months. Found a guide for setting up a pool on S9 too, but might just use…

Thanks, everyone. I found a guide, but I'm searching for more detailed info. It's not just plug-and-play with an S9 and testnet address. I need a full setup guide, like how to run a testnet full node and connect it to a…

Anyone got a solid guide for mining testnet bitcoin? I'm looking for a decent amount instead of just the usual tiny bits from faucets. Appreciate it.

I did the reindex-chainstate=1 and removed the pound sign. Now my Bitcoin Core wallet is working, but it’s starting from 2009, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid.

Got it! Let me try that. Thanks a bunch!

How do I actually reindex the chainstate files?

Hey everyone, I'm having a tough time getting my Bitcoin Core wallet up and running on Windows. I keep seeing this error: Error reading from database. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple versions, but nothing…

Thanks for the help, everyone! The Umbrel Bitcoin Machine is my second node, looks cool. I have the 1TB one and it’s at about 590GB used now. I know I’ll need to replace it eventually. Just wanted to see if anyone else…

I’m wondering if anyone has swapped out the SSD in their Umbrel Bitcoin Machine? I know the standard ones come with 1TB or 2TB. Has anyone tried upgrading to a bigger SSD yet? Heard it’s pretty straightforward... just…

Thanks for the info!

Okay, but how do you actually get cgminer working?

Hey everyone, I found the right thread! I’m trying to mine testnet btc with cgminer but keep hitting errors. One of them says Fatal JSON error, and another needs at least one pool server specified. I’m using an AMD 550…

I appreciate all the input! Just trying to stay ahead of any issues with my miners, like fires or whatever. I know the Antminer has sensors but I built this box to reduce noise and recycle hot air. I tried remote access…
