Anybody have a link on how to solo mine? Or please explain how to do it? Thanks

also interested. worth doing with 3000KH/s?

Download the client & create a chncoin.conf file in your %appdata%\Roaming\Chncoin folder with the following info :

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rcpallowip=192.168.1.*
rpcport=8108
port=8106
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0


save this file, then restart the chncoin client.

then point your miner to localhost:8108 -u username -p password

I think so, I'm at about 5500kh/sec

Thanks, also how do I collect the coins to my wallet?

how often you finding blocks?

when you solo mine, they will be added to your wallet automatically :)

I haven't mined it yet

ok thanks for the info! I'll donate some to you later when I mine some : )

Is solo mining protected from DDOS? Im behind a VPN also.

you yourself are fine, the network can always get DDOSed but i wouldn't worry about that :)

i've been mining on a pool for ~2 hours with only 1800KH/s and found a block already. once i get my full rig up and going id imagine it would be more frequent...5 blocks a day would make it worth solo mining. its just weird not seeing the constant "accepted" that i see from a pool

Nothing is protected from a DDOS, but there is no point in DDOSing single users, so you should feel safe.

yes I know that, can I use my current config for cgminer and where it says pool replace it with the localhost my user name and pass?

how about using the miner in the chncoin qt app? Or is it not optimized as my current scrypt confg is?

that miner only does CPU mining, so it won't even use your GPU :)

so it's basically 15 times less powerful (or more, depending on your GPU)

kk thanks

how should i run chncoin-qt in order to have it be in "server" mode?  i was thinking this:


my chncoin.conf file looks like this:


and id run my miners (a different machine) like this

im on linux but this looks pretty similar other than that id specify chncoin.conf as such

-conf=chncoin.conf

do I use http:// to set my local host?

ok thanks cgminer crashes when I run localhost let me restart computer maybe that will help

also should I have cgncoin.qt open when mining? or closed?

what output from cgminer can i expect when solo mining?

i think the problem is with qt. It says wallet out of sync is there a way to force it to download the block? NVM its syncing now

how often are blocks generated?

yeah it synced finally its ok now its working, quick question with solo mining if I disconnect or something while solving a block do I lose that whole block?

my cgminer says new block detected on network, how do I know if it's mining it or not? Also, how long does payment take? after a certain amount of confirms?

hey whats your difficulty at? mine is showing 526K!! or is that cgminer difficulty?

I was running it on my laptop and it was showing 8 lol. Isn't that higher than litecoin and feathercoin?

You shouldn't have problems getting more than 8 blocks a day.  Even more if you are lucky. 

tb

hope everything is working as you want it to? :)

I mean its working, it's just the difficulty is so high it might be easier to mine feathercoin lol. Can someone please confirm the current difficulty is it 8 or 526?

no my laptop gets 200kh/sec my desktops get 5500 kh/sec, on my laptop when I mine it shows 8k difficulty on desktops it shows 526K which is the real difficulty?

so 526 means its 8k? is that my understanding?

This guide worked for me:

http://maunderingcabal.blogspot.se/2013/02/bitcoin-mining-log-9-how-to-solo-mine.html

Are you sure you are not mining in a pool on your laptop?  

tb

Which settings in cgminer are you guys using for solo mining?

I am using -s 1 --expiry 1 -- queue 0

yes I am sure

5500kh/sec will give you a block each 0 day(s), 1 hour(s), 44 min, 25 sec

http://cnc.strament.com/calculator.php


For litecoin, the shares are 65536 times smaller than bitcoin, therefore difficulty is reported wrong in cgminer. To get the correct one, take the number show in cgminer and divide it by 65536.

I mean if I mine feather coin which difficulty is about 250k and I mine chncoin which is 8k or 526k where will I make more coins?

the only thing that confuses me is if network difficulty is 8 why does it show 526k in cgminer. On my laptop on the other hand it shows 8k the proper difficulty

I have explained you already.

Shares of difficulty 1 in Litecoin are 65536 times smaller than the BTC ones. Therefore, cgminer reports it wrong. To get the right one, take 526k, and divide it by 65536

Result = 8.026123046875

On your laptop, it might be that something is wrong, or that is the share difficulty.

on my 3rd desktop it shows difficulty 16k ?? lol dafuk is going on??

Is it showing that on Diff: or "connected to whatever diff" ?

connected to is showing 16k and block difficulty is showing 16k

my 3rd desktop just gave me 8 blocks in a few minutes while the other two desktops at 526k are like at 1 block and 0 blocks

Are you sure you're definetly mining CNC?

yes man 100% positive

its back to normal now, the block wasn't properly syncd lmao. I was getting 88coins every min or two I got very excited lol

I can't say how jealous I am lawl. What rig are you packing?

3 7950s, I would of been excited if the blocks confirmed but not of them did lol

so what happens if I restart my miner in the middle of mining a block? will I lose it? or when it reconnects everything will pick up where it left off?

I'm not far too sure. Blocks are not guarranteed when solo'd, meaning there is always a very high chance of well, not getting anything. Personal advice is to go to a pool. You'll get almost same amount of coin/day.

yeah I know but all the pools seemed like they were having problems, some of them saying we are going to get ddosd tonight. Yay!! fun times lol

Yep. Last night while I was working on my blockchain stats I got to calculations that difficulty would rise to 33. All of the pools got DDOS-ed, I think because of very high hash rate, so they wanted difficulty to drop. At the end, the difficulty rise up just to 8. It seems unlogical, however to DDOS them now. As you can see on my site, difficulty will increase in 4 and somewhat days.

We need DDOS protected pools...

well if I remember reading correctly you will make the same with pools or without. It's just with pools you will make coins more consistently instead of blocks of 88 coins every 4 days for example.

Precisely, and with pools it is guarranteed to earn, unlike solo. You can have 2000KH/s, and be that unlucky that you get no blocks in days.

I could care less if I get paid out in a big chunk of 88 coins, or 5 coins every hour, as long as at the end its the same. And with the current pools being ddos'd doesn't make much sense.

sigh been solo mining 2 days and no blocks (1800kh/s)  found like 40 stales is there some special setting I should be using?

"Precisely, and with pools it is guarranteed to earn, unlike solo. You can have 2000KH/s, and be that unlucky that you get no blocks in days."

should I run my 3 machines on the same username? or different usernames?

I guess some people don't understand what "mining" means in cryptocurrencies.

Think of it as there is a block of dirt and somewhere in that dirt is a bag full of coins.

The size of the block of dirt is depend on the difficulty of the coin.  Higher difficulty = bigger block of dirt.

Now Everyone "mining" is currently digging away at that block of dirt looking for the bag of coins.

The higher the hash rate the faster you dig.

Once someone finds the bag, game over and everyone moves on to the next block of dirt.

Solo mining is just yourself digging away and maybe you find the bag.  If you stop or someone else finds the bag game over and move on to the next block.

Pool mining is a bunch of people digging away at the block and sharing the reward base on how much effort you put in.

so should I mine my machines on the same username? or 3 different usernames when solo mining?

are you guys getting high discard rates? im getting like 99%

Couldn't be better explained.

Thanks boing. How can I do it with Debian?

jimmy what are your rejected stale rates Im getting about 99% can you post your cgminer.conf?

im back to solo, but both solo and pool mining I am getting 99% rejected, with solo mining before I found a 3 blocks in about 4-6 hours so it seems to be working im assuming.

Good BYE CNC, Dontmine me is about to get 51%
"Registration has been temporarily closed due to the large hash rate on this server relative to the total hash power of the network.
It will reopen when the pool/network hash rate (50.54%) drops below 35%


Thank you for your support!"

http://cnc.dontmine.me/register

maybe because of my high hashrate its going through a lot of targets that are lower? could this be a possibility? Another question how many accepts are you getting?

well actually im about 65% rejects, I meant discarded shares, discarded shares are like 95%

kk goodnight!

if you're solo mining, there is a very high rate of invalids/stales/discarded shares .

This is because there are a few pools out there who are mining the same blocks as you are, so you may be able to actually solve a block, but if that same block has already been solved by the network, it becomes invalid.

It's a race at the moment to get as many blocks solved, there are a few pools out there who you're competing with :)

yeah I tried using a pool but got nowhere near the payout as I did solo mining

also how does the whole reward thing work? If I find a block do only I have the option of solving it? Or is it a race on who solves it first.

Does it mean if I'm outpowered I will always lose?

Hi all i have finally worked out how to get the cgminer solo mining with a pool as back-up to be honest i can not remember why it just became a challenge lol
is it still solo mining?
Why is it now saying "Stratum from pool 1 detected new block" ? instead of "New block detected on network"
what is the meaning of "Block change for http://127.0.0.1:port detection via http://pool.what.ever:port stratum"
Thanks noel

Looks like it will be a while: 

Net Hash: 2509.29 MH/s   
   
Pool Hash: 1045.63 MH/s

how come when i solo mine i dont see any accepted/rejected shares or any U:/wu: numbers
but as soon as i connect to a pool i get it up. its otherwise hashing away as normal and it keeps detecting new blocks?

only seems to happen with chn coins as far as i can see.

You don't have shares when you solo mine.

You either find a block or you don't.

ah, could swear i saw shares when solo mining another alt coin. i guess i was wrong.
thanks!

Hi i just mined in solo mode by following this instructions.
I have to show you guys something so weird, i just found 383 Blocks with my 2000khs rig.


http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj601/emmanuel_ortiz1/asdasd_zpsb040f62e.jpg


After a few minutes, the CNC wallet crash and star loading blocks again. it seems i lose all the coins and the registrers of transactions.
I almost cry when i see all those coins and blocks.
I so sad :(

sweeppicking

Jesus Christ  Mate  look at  your   R:  ( rejected )   You  got  more  R:  than   A: ( accepted )

That was back when difficulty was 16, you didn't sync ur wallet

http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a504/mixmatosis/cgminer_zps5316b4e2.jpg

I've just tried to set up solo-mining (cnc) with cgminer, eventually got it running but I doesn't seem to be accepting/rejecting blocks?
In the last hour I've found about 50 new blocks

can anyone tell me is this normal? do you have to wait till the blocks are either accepted/rejected.

chncoin-qt -server

no I just quickly copy and pasted the conf details from earlier in the thread. Is it worth me changing my scantime (at 60 right now) or adding long polling?

Hi guys,

I follow these instructions but get



just wondering what I'm doing wrong, is the username and password in the cgscript just what you put in the chncoin.conf?

also my network is 192.168.1.* - is the * what you put in so all computers on the local network can fine to that wallet? Also is http://127.0.0.1:8108 the same for all computers? I don't understand the significance of this number sorry

Hi,

I started to solomine right now but I only get like 3 kH/s, it´s ridiculous.
I have a HD 6870 and 8GB of DDR2 RAM 800 Mhz.

This is the first time I´ve tried scrypt-mining sha-256 works fine, could it be because I´m using DDR2 RAM?.
Do anyone have any idea why it´s so slow?

Edit: Or is it because it only us the CPU instead of the GPU? I used the miner that came with the Chinacoin package, but I also have cgminer, but I havent got it to work properly.

this is becouse you are mining with cpu. minerd.exe support only cpu.
for gpu minig you need cgminer-3.1.0-windows (with --script)
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-3.1.0-windows.zip

example: start/run/cmd
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o http://yourpool.com:5555 -u username of worker -p password of worker -I 13 (intensity, could be "d" for dynamic but low hash or "18" but lag desktop)
I am getting with 6870 ~240Khs with I 14, with I 18 goes to ~300khs but no comment about desktop.

Thank you! I think im starting to get it now, which pool do you run on?

I tried on weminecnc.com but than i go back on btc with guiminer.

Hi, do you have to add the "-server" to your CHNCoin-qt shortcut command?.  I'm a bit confused with this.  I connected to CHNCoin-qt without the "-server"  using a CPU miner but I can't connect when I try to use CGMiner and got this:

 [2013-05-09 20:38:02] Started cgminer 3.1.0
 [2013-05-09 20:38:02] Probing for an alive pool
 [2013-05-09 20:38:02] Network diff set to 2.74M
 [2013-05-09 20:38:02] No suitable long-poll found for http://127.0.0.1:8108

My CGminer command line is: cgminer.exe --scrypt -u username -p password -o 127.0.0.1:8108 --auto-fan --temp-target 70

What I'm doing wrong?

as far as I know is this in .conf
server=1
the same
as, if your run chncoin-qt.exe with "-server" comand
maybe in cmd you will be able to run chncoin-qt.exe -server this way.

I had the same as you posted in cgminer, than I shut down chncoin-qt and cgminer  respond that he lost connection to the server. So I am preety sure you are doing fine.
Just be sure I have opened 8108? port on your router (pointing to your lan IP - 192,168.0.100 or 192.168.1.100 or something else.)

The CHNCoin-qt server does not support long-polling, that is what you are supposed to see.

Hi, yes the 8108 port is opened because the CPU miner is working good (11 khash7s), but looks that the CHNCoin-qt server doesn't allow long poll.  Other user is posting that here....   :(

Thanks for the reply, then that means that I can't do GPU solo mining with the CHNcoin-qt or chncoind and CPU mining is a very big waste of time.   Do you know any other way to do?

yes i know how, just make your first pool solo mining and use the second pool, a p2pool its also good and start cgminer

my cgminer.conf for testing when there is a nice and good p2pool.exe  :P

good luck

You can still solomine without LP support, it will still work it's just slightly less efficient because it may not know about discovered blocks as fast.   
Alternatively, you can add a pool (any cnc pool will work) as a failover option and cgminer will use the Long Polling from it.  Also if your client crashes or something then cgminer will switch over to the failover option so that it doesn't sit idle all night whie you are asleep :).

You can use my pool as a failover option if you want, i don't mind...  http://silverwolf.ath.cx/cnc

As per the previous comment, the way to set a failover option is as follows... In the cgminer.conf file in the pool section, you just add a second section under the first with a comma seperating them.  like so :

 {
      "url" : "http://127.0.0.1:8104",
      "user" : "yourusername",
      "pass" : "yourpassword"
   },
   {
      "url" : "http://silverwolf.ath.cx:8339",
      "user" : "yourusername.workername",
      "pass" : "yourworkerpassword"
   }



That way if the first one goes down (client crashes, etc...) then cgminer will switch to the second automatically.  It will also use whatever longpolling data it can find from either pool source, so you should be good there.

You can set as many pools as you want in that fashion.

Did I miss something?

I need the address to point my cpuminer at. Anyone have that address/IP and port?

i just start to learn solo mining CHncoin  I need help with my cgminer to run it right. this is what I have so far. I has syn the chncoin wallet. but when I try to run the cgminer it give me a no suitable long poll found on 127.0.0.1:8108 then cgminer crashed.

I am using windows 8.1
cgminer --scrypt  -o 127.0.0.1:8108 -u my username -p my password
