Help setting up solo mining

rob_1990

Hello all,

I have been mining on pools for around a year now, but want to set my 2 rigs to solo mine. How do i go about doing this? Do i need to set up a proxy? Here is my cgminer conf file which runs these cards at 3MH/s , is it as simple as putting my wallet address in somewhere?

The reason for doing this is that i believe i can make more FTC mining by myself. For example, since Sunday my workers have found about 600FTC but my payouts are about 150.

Thanks

You need to setup the a Feathercoin.conf under %appdata%/roaming/Feathercoin.

Write in that file.

server=1
rcpuser= rob_1990
rpcpassword= x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9337
port=9336

Be sure to save that file as .conf file and not as .txt!

Now run your FeathercoinClient and connect your miner to http://127.0.0.1:9337

{

“pools” : [

{

“url” : "http://127.0.0.1:9337",

“user” : “rob_1990”,

“pass” : “x”

}

Thanks Chekaz

Makes sense, but currently i have no feather coin client on either miner. It resides on my Mac I’m using to the this. Do i need to download the client to each miner? or can i use my existing wallet located on my Macbook?

Cheers

Or presumably i put a wallet on one machine and then point to its IP in feathercoin.conf on the other?

If you setup the wallet on one machine which isnt the local mining machine. Just use the config as seen above and forward your mining-machine with:

rpcallowip= xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

Afterwards connect to the wallet-machine with the walletsmachine ip & port 9337

Ok thanks.

I have set it up on one machine with the FTC wallet on that local machine. But i get the error 'Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid.

I have changed the user and password and url in the CGminer conf

ChekaZ

So you havent the same username & password as in the Feathercoin.conf in the CGminer conf.

I do though. I also tried changing the port and the same thing happens. The client is now up to date, and the same thing happens.

uncle_muddy

try changing

rpcallowip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

to

rpcallowip=*.*.*.*

or even

rpcallowip=ipaddress of the miner

and remember there is no space between after the =

Thanks,

tried this, same problem. I have the wallet up to date and running on 192.168.4.50 which is also a mining machine. The feathercoin.conf looks like this

server=1

rcpuser=rob

rpcpassword=x

rpcallowip=192.168.4.50

rpcport=9337

port=9336

and the cgminer.conf looks like this

{

“pools” : [

{

“url” : "http://192.168.4.50:9337",

“user” : “rob”,

“pass” : “x”

i get the same results pointing my second miner (192.168.4.51) to it. Also i get the same results using 127.0.0.1 or localhost. I have tried disabling windows firewall, and MSE. Could it be a port issue? can someone explain to me what port 9336 is?

Thanks

Fixed! typo on RPCUSER!

It seems to be hashing, but having never solo mined before i don’t know if its working fully. one error comes up that is no suitable long-poll found for http://127.0.0.1:9337 but it seems to be talking to the network as new blocks are discovered. I take it i just leave it and hope i get lucky?

thanks for all your help

uncle_muddy

I just noticed the typo and was about to point it out…

Not sure about the long-poll error as I have never solo mined, but I’m sure someone who has will be along soon to help you out

UM

That’s normal… i get that too.

It’s because you are mining against the wallet and not a pool. As you already realized you can see if you’re mining if the cgminer sees the network blocks changing.

Good luck!
