Title: Solo mining, 0 accepted
Post by: xanadu on April 09, 2013, 03:09:46 PM
Dorking around with solo mining on a spare rig and it never accepts any hashes even though it is running full tilt.

Ignore the low hash rate, I haven't optimized the client with flags yet.  Yes I know that that'd likely take years to find a block solo these days.

Running a Phoenix 2.0 client and connected to Bitcoin-qt v0.8.1-beta running in -server mode that has downloaded the full blockchain.

Where have I gone wrong?

do you have a bitcoin.conf file in your bitcoin data folder with a RPC password set?

something like (this may not be exactly correct):

server=1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8332

solo mining = hashes accepted only if it matches the network difficulty, which will take forever.

Yes, the bitcoin.conf file is configured, otherwise the client wouldn't connect to the server, right?

Here is the bitcoin.conf file:
Quote
server=1
rpcuser=bits
rpcpassword=*****
rpcallowip=192.168.0.*
rcpport=8332
paytxfee=0.00

I enabled verbose mode, here is the output:

Ah, that makes sense... going to be a long while before I see an "Accepted" then :)

it might be smart to verify your configuration is correct by mining a few testnet blocks.

sorry, missed the "Connected to server" line.  Good luck!

There, FTFY.
