What is RC1,RC2,RC3 and RC4? #55

Closed ti6oti6o closed 5 years ago

ti6oti6o commented 5 years ago

Which release should I download to successfully mine GRIN. What is the difference between each? I tried with RC4 but I consistently get an error 'No such host is known. A connection attempt failed because...' ... GPU was detected successfully...

Use RC4. Yesterday at launch there was a little bit of panic, because some pools were not ready and people were downlaoding older releases with bugs so we removed them. The error sounds like DNS resolving error. Can you please go to your config.xml and set <FileMinimumLogLevel>DEBUG</FileMinimumLogLevel> and send me your log from logs.

Oh sure.

Connection to your pool MWGrinPool.com failed (probably was temporarily down or something) and miner started connecting to backup, which you didnt defined so it failed on the "backup pool" placeholder.

You can go to config.xml and configure secondary connection there instead of the placeholder and it will connect there in case the primary connection is down. I will write better documentation to this later somewhere more official.
