Help setting up solo mining

rob_1990

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

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.

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

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!
