Something is weird.
I noticed on github there was a commit to the src directory right at launch, with the comment "new port". Checking the src I downloaded I see
-port=<port> " + _("Listen for connections on <port> (default: 8915)") + "\n" +
but the original post still has the old port. I wonder where the pools are actually mining. Giving up on this one, something is jacked.
Does this mean for solo mining we should be using port 8915 or port 8946?
like st0ned said, for RPC port it really doesn't matterr as long as your conf and miner are on the same one. I think the pools probably need to use the new one to connect to nodes however. Just for fun they did change the default RPCPORT I see,
" -rpcport=<port> " + _("Listen for JSON-RPC connections on <port> (default: 8944)") + "\n" +
can't see any reason they would have bothered to change that.
