Title: [SOLVED] HELP - solo mining not working? Post by: innervisi0nn on June 02, 2011, 04:38:25 AM I setup solo mining, setup the bitcoin.conf file with all the logins
however, when I run bitcoin.exe -server and connect with guiminer, it still shows difficulty 1: hashes 3. what am I doing wrong? Im at block 128091 - are the blocks not downloaded yet? Even with phoenix, I cam getting 0 accepted, 0 rejected, i see no progress except my hash rate. Any idea? ill donate my last .something bitcoins over! Title: Re: HELP - solo mining not working?

If you do a "getinfo" and see the complexity is low or the total blocks is wrong.... you can't mine. I would suggest hopping on a pool (like eligius - hint hint) until you've gotten all the blocks. http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Eligius_mining_pool I've also had to occasionally add some addnodes to bitcoin.conf to "kickstart" the download. You might grab a few from here if you can't get any connections - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Fallback_Nodes Title: Re: HELP - solo mining not working?

How do I know when all the blocks have been downloaded? Also, whats your BTC addy, ill tip ya ;) thanks for the help! Title: Re: HELP - solo mining not working? Post by: supa on June 02, 2011, 05:35:07 AM Use the getinfo command (bitcoind getinfo or bitcoin getinfo) You can see the total size of the blockchain here: http://blockexplorer.com/q/getblockcount No problem - keep your coins. :) Title: Re: HELP - solo mining not working?

I assume BTC's are found, my console will show me. |
