It's a complete waste of your money, and probably a fire hazard, but go wild. Title: Re: How to Solo Mine with CPUMiner 1.0.2? Post by: Welsh on May 07, 2013, 01:02:04 AM Open the bitcoin client as a server, setup solo mining following a tutorial online, bam!

You still have to get your bitcoind/bitcoinQT set up to serve as a server (node) to solo mine. It's just a couple of entries into a file that the program reads when it initializes, and then it's a server. From that point you can mine solo with any getwork miner you like from your own node. Every miner has to have a node. If you use your own it's solo mining, if you use someone else's, it's a pool. Does that make more sense? There are a TON of tutorial threads for this I'm not going to re-write it. Solo mining is the same process for every bitcoin-derived altcoin I've seen so you might as well sort it out. |
