      And the guy before me asking if you can just point a miner to another deamon = Yes.
      [/quote]

      …but not using it’s local/loopback address (127.0.0.1) which I believe is what he was asking. Use the LAN assigned address (IE: 192.168.0.xxx) of the machine running the daemon together with the port. In windows you can find this info by running the command IPCONFIG in a console window.

        can i point other rigs on my LAN to a single feathercoind -daemon using its local ip ?
        [/quote]

        yes, just add another line to allow network IPs

        rpcallowip=192.168.0.*

        use the same pass / login for all your rigs :P

          Thanks deroekeloze. I am in the process of trying this out and I would have missed that step and been pulling whats left of my hair out :)

            Okay, so I have setup the feathercoin client on one of my rigs, created the conf file, and pointed cgminer at 127.0.0.1:9337.

            Now cgminer says “No suitable long-poll found for http;//127.0.0.1:9337”. This is normal right? I have to find my own blocks to mine?

                That’s normal for solo mining.

                  Please ensure you are ready to solo mine as a backup,
                  with pools having problems and the network needing our hashrate solo mining is the way to go during an attack.

                  I know most of you have never done it but its easy.

                  deroekeloze got me started with this back in May.

                  [color=red]-windows:
                  –close feathercoin client if open
                  –locate feathercoin directory using >start>run>%appdata%
                  –create feathercoin configuration file in notepad as follows: (change the user/ password values to whatever you want them to be:)
                  rpcuser=yourname
                  rpcpassword=yourpass
                  rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
                  rpcport=9337
                  daemon=1
                  server=1
                  gen=0

                  –save this file as: feathercoin.conf (be sure to save it in the appdata feathercoin directory)
                  –relaunch feathercoin client and let it finish synchronizing with the network
                  –point mining client of your choosing to http://127.0.0.1:9337 with the user / password you assigned

                  mine away.

                  Anyone please feel free to add to this, but this works for me, I’m using GUIminer.

                    Longpolling is not really needed for block times like this; but there is something you can do. Set up workers on a pool and

                    1> In cgminer keep the command as
                    cgminer --scrypt -o 127.0.0.1 (or IP address of client):rpcport -u yourname -p yourpass -o (pool address):port -u workername -p workerpass …

                    What this will do is take the longpoll information from pool 1.

                    2> You can try the other way round; set up mining on pool and automatically move to solo if the pool fails
                    cgminer --scrypt -o (any pool address):port -u workername -p workerpass-o 127.0.0.1 (or IP address of client):rpcport -u yourname -p yourpass

                      for windows peoples, you may have to open firewall, allow feathercoind through windows firewall
                      i have two rigs doing solo to a single feathercoind on my LAN

                      thanks dudes

                      *edit*

                      one maybe little or maybe big problem

                      if i were to get a block, where will the FTC go? there is a wallet.dat in my appdata directory

                      BUT

                      i only installed feathercoind, not the wallet (feathercoin-qt) on this computer as i was planning to setup p2pool (didn’t get to it yet)

                      will my block of FTC go into that wallet? then i could move that wallet.dat file to a computer with feathercoin-qt to access it?
                      thanks

                        I have been mining successfully since the fork last night at wemine but have been considering mining solo since I have about 4,000 khash available at the moment. Will the stock client work? I updated about two hours ago just incase.

                          Yep, follow the info in the first post on how to setup your feathercoin.conf file in your %appdir%/feathercoin directory.

                            Is there any difference between solo mining with a single gpu @ 380/390khash/s and say, not mining at all? :)

                            The idea of 8-9 days for a possible block, seems … redundant. So I am guessing not really then. I know my cgminer went offline this morning, the silence woke me up. But it reconnected to give-me-ftc after a while, so hopefully it remains that way.

                            Or does just running it pointlessly mining still help the network?

                            :( I did try to get a second card, got jumped all over by bigger fish who for some reason wanted a 5870 despite having more than plenty already which seems silly when [i]doubling[/i] my hash rate compared to adding less than a drop in the ocean for them, would have seemingly helped the network, but alas, no go. I suppose then can also mine ltc and ftc and rake it in… maybe one day I’ll get there. but it feels like Im drowning trying to build a boat.

                            And it’s a shame the new FTC market has things there but no international shipping… Unless I want a toilet roll.

                            Ahh well, heres hoping that the pools keep beating the wanker attacking. you can smell the fear coming from their weasley little spine.

                              Owwwwww and again…

                              Ok here goes anyway…
                              If you are solo mining with 390Kh I would suggest joining a Pool like P2pool or another one where you can see if you got more than mining solo, or in a pool, but I kind of see you…are O.o?
                              Explaining solo mining, imagine you have a hat with millions of numbers and you are trying to pick out the winning number.
                              Can take hours, can take days. 9 days for a block isn’t bad considering the same hashrate for BTC would be over a year I think now, LTC couple of months?

                              As long as you’re running the client you effectively are helping store the blockchain, that counts for the decentralisation thus helping the network survive an apocalyptic event that suddenly wipes out America.

                                        I’ve tried setting this up and it keeps saying that it can’t find a suitable long poll. If the client is closed then it says server down obviously. Also, it keeps saying my date and time is wrong but it not. I have triple checked. Any ideas?

                                        Magic8ball has a fix though, set a secondary pool in your startup script that has stratum and cgminer will pull stratum from there whilst still soloing.
