Solo?
-
Have you tried using a proxy between the miner and local wallet?
-
Try CPUminer first.
-
I have not tried a proxy, the mining system and the system with the feathercoin client are the same system so is this needed?
I tried CPUminer and its working fine.
-
I guess I have to make a GPU miner of my own which just works at least.
-
Thats the odd part. I can mine on a pool just fine, like p2pool. But if I change the config to point to my own wallet it fails.
Ive also got some old ASICs solo mining bitcoin so I am confident that its possible and that Im capable of doing it… I just dont know what went wrong here. I guess my next try will be with a different computer setup as the miner.
-
They don’t support Getwork properly (with or without long polling). Solo mining doesn’t use Stratum.
-
I have had a little experience in solo and got the same result (it was error: “no servers were found to get work from, please check url or credentials.”). Then I tried to take another wallet from this https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/8018-dev-feathercoin-core-093-alpha-release/. The error message is gone.
May be something wrong with the oficial wallet?
-
I am having the exact same problem. I can pool mine without any issues but solo mining does not work and I have tried every .conf suggestion in these forums.
-
I am new to feathercoin so forgive my persistence. Has anyone come up with an answer as to why solo mining does not seem to work for some people? I can solo mine other coins but not feathercoin.
feathercoin.conf:
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=featherrpc
rpcpassword=x
rpcport=9337
rpcallowip=192.168.1.*
sgminer conf:
{
“pools” : [
{
“url” : "http://192.168.1.15:9337",
“user” : “featherrpc”,
“pass” : “x”
}
]
,
“intensity” : “13”,
“kernel” : “neoscrypt”,
“worksize” : “64”,
blah, blah, blah…
when I start sgminer (I have tried 5.0, 5.1 and 5.1.1) I get a message:
192.168.1.15 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid
…and all the rest.
I start the wallet (versions 0.8.7.1 and 0.9.3) with the -server option but its as if the wallet is not listening or allowing connections from miners.
I can pool mine, but I like to have solo as a backup in case the pool fails.
What am I - and apparently others - missing?
Thanks.

I have only ideas, but:
-
I’m not sure if the 192.168.1.* works. can you try to specify the miner host only?
-
If you are using any firewall, check, that connections to port 9337 are allowed in the rule set
-
check if your wallet is listening to port 9337
-
linux: ‘netstat -lnp |grep feather’
-
windows: you need to find the parameters for : show listeing ports, no name resolution and show program information
-
Also I don’t use the port parameter in the feathercoin.conf, but use the default parameter, which should be 9337 anyway.

Thanks for the response.
It was the firewall. After configuring the firewall for feathercoin-qt.exe solo mining works. I could not recall if the prompt to open the firewall came up when I started the program but I guess not.
btw, 192.168.1.* does work in the .conf file. * is a wildcard for any IP address.
Thanks again. This was an oversight on my part.
