Title: Client don't connect
Post by: Problem on December 05, 2013, 07:31:22 pm: Hey guys,

just downloaded the ProtoShare client, want to mine some.
But now it does'nt connect to the blockchain? Litecoin works well, so it isn't my internet connection.
Anyone could help?

And is their any chance to mine some ProtoShares with just an old laptop? If not, what device would you recommend?

Best Regards
Problem

Sorry but i am really an idiot when it is about mining, tried to mine Bitcoins and Litecoins when they were new but never was successful..
If i am not able to mine, could you just explain me which device i have to buy and how to configurate, so it will be mine ProtoShares for me?

Don't bother mining solo my friend, those days came and went.

Coyote Pool is closed, so unless you are attempting to mine with the getwork miner on your local wallet or have setup your own pool this will not work for you.
