This guide works perfectly on a $5/mo Digital Ocean Droplet. it’s fantastic and cheap and a great way to support the network as you run a full node plus electrumx!
one note, building Feathercoin Core 0.16 on the small droplet, you usually run out of memory during the build
run the below to increase swap.
free
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000
mkswap /var/swap.img
swapon /var/swap.img
free
make -f makefile.unix

@wellenreiter said in [Guide] Solo mining for Feathercoin and Neoscrypt:
A workaround is to set up a private pool, e.g. p2pool and use the stratum protocol.
For solo mining you will need a miner supporting gbt (get block template)
You can get NOMP which is an open source stratum server…there are certian forks that work with neoscrypt
I use one on pool.feathercoin.com
There’s nothing stopping you from using it locally
As Acid said above, technically its possible to generate the same private key twice but the odds are so small its considered “impossible”. To add to that, you have the same odds using the QT wallet as you do a paper wallet generator.
The numbers crypto uses are huge, absolutely enormous. They are so large, in fact, that most people have difficulty understanding just how massive they are. One way I was explained was to picture a handful of sand. Look at each grain of sand. How many must there be in your hand? A lot right? Now picture a bucket of sand, picture a truck load, there are a LOT of grains, right? Now picture every grain of sand on EVERY beach in the world plus every grain of sand under all the oceans. If every grain of sand was its own Earth, with its own beaches and sand, then if you added up all these grains of sand on all these beaches on all these worlds… thats how many private keys there are. LOTS
@wellenreiter
no.
i dont know what happened. when i got home this morning, my solo operation had stopped running. i restarted ccminer, and it wouldnt work. when i restarted the wallet, thats when i got this error. im not sure what the deal was. im in the process of reinstalling the wallet fresh now.
@Wellenreiter - Ok No problem. We can keep this guide as is and edit it moving forward.
I take all of that back and bow to your wisdom … I was having a think and when I checked my old guide there was already a change log there…so I’ve updated that and re-pinned it.
I’ve also renamed this guide and unpinned.
