While playing around with Monero mining I decided to give Awesome Miner a try.
While trying to provision the XMRPool.net pool, I had a bit of trouble getting it working.
[2018-01-22 17:02:25] Using JSON-RPC 2.0 [2018-01-22 17:02:26] NVML GPU monitoring enabled. [2018-01-22 17:02:26] NVAPI GPU monitoring enabled. [2018-01-22 17:02:26] 1 miner thread started, using 'cryptonight' algorithm. [2018-01-22 17:02:26] HTTP request failed: Empty reply from server
The issue is that you need to instruct it to use the stratum protocol, so the server URL should be constructed as follows:
stratum+tcp://<Server URL>:<Port>
So the pool config will look like this:
And with that we are up and running:
