can anyone give me working guide how to solo mine with antminer s1 and new SHA based altcoin? no matter whatever online guide i use my s1 wont get connected with the wallet and in s1 127.0.0.1 or localhost appears DEAD.

or

if someone can advise how to create a pool in virtual box to accomplish sametask so i can point miners to that pool instead of pointing them to the wallet.

I highly suggest looking into premade such as Kano has - http://solo.ckpool.org/

It will save you a lot of time.  It is a very low chance of finding a block with one S1 though. 

thanks but as i mentioned im trying to do it with altcoins not with BTC

more info is needed.. what altcoin you trying to mine?

ninja launches for SHA based altcoins

are there even any sha256 altcoins worth anything?

well that is not part of our discussion atm :)

lol if you dont know what coin to mine how do you setup a wallet?

dude i mentioned ninja launches so i dont know about their names yet since they havent been announced by respective dev ;) some previously launched coins are GotFomo etc.. i gues this wasnt ninja launched but any coin in a similar capaicity
ninja launch has very less diff level so wondering how to set AntS1 to get dew blocks before coin gets any pool

when that coin is launched.. you download the wallet.. then you go into the config and put

rpcallowip=192.168.1.*
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
then you put


rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=1234
rpcport= this changes by coin to coin
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1


now just point your miner the s1 to the IP of your computer that has the wallet on it..  192.168.1.?

that is what exactly im doing now wondering recently i installed custom cgminer to get nonce subscription. does that update is causing miner to connect with wallet?

i dont own any miners ATM but i used to create my own pool and do mine it there easy and sometime gets a good hafty stash

and also make sure you tune your firewall to allow the addresses and ports on your *.conf file .

yeah its still not working and showing up dead in antminer pool.
i took recent launch of SHA based Cerium coin as example

Cerium.conf
rpcallowip=192.168.1.*
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=1234
rpcport=45454
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1

Antminer S1
Pool = 192.168.1.102:45454
pool worker = user
pool passweod= 1234

Result:

stratum+tcp://192.168.1.102:45454
user
Dead
   


after beeping for a while antminer S1 goes to the backup pool in configuration. both miner and computer are connected with the same router and firwall didnt alarm any conection.

just use
192.168.1.102:45454

or you may even need http://192.168.1.102:45454

not stratum+tpc you are solo mining.

plus also this IP needs to be the computer running the wallet.. NOT your miner ip.

no same thing switched to backup pool after beeping

Didn't understand what you mean

just figuring out how to solo mine ant new altcoin SHA based with the antminer s1

what coin is using port 45454?

you do know this port is specific?

Cerium coin i asked the DEV and what do you mean if this port is specific do i have to check something in windows?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1082918.new;topicseen#new

did you name the config file Cerium.conf?

yes

im testing it now.. hold on.

thanks bro

yep not working..

they have pools now.. just mine on one.

wew but pretty much its the same setup right for any altcoin? and thanks for the help

so it seems these guys hard coded the username and password into the client..

ThreadRPCServer incorrect password attempt from ::ffff:192.168.1.205

this is what the log says.


the username HAS to be your wallet ID
i dunno what the password is.

wallet ID mean one of the wallet address and password will be the unlocking password which we use to encrypt wallet?

yes and no.
the password is whatever they put in the client.. i dunno what it is.. i wont be your wallet password. its not x or 123 or what you set by rpc
