Title: Solo Mining Megacoin with Antminer L3+
Post by: xavinash4ux on October 21, 2017, 07:20:28 PM
I am having a hard time trying to understand this and setting it up. I just bought an Antminer L3+ and am trying to mine Megacoin or say any scrypt Coin for that matter. I have a Megacoin Wallet installed on Windows Computer and running it in -server mode. I have a megacoin config file with these parameters:

Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Megacoin\megacoin.conf

rpcuser=wallet address
rpcpassword=pass
rpcallowip=192.168.0.3 (This is the local ip of the computer running the wallet)
rpcallowip=192.168.0.4 (This is the ip address of my Antminer L3+)
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=7950
port=7951
rpckeepalive=0
server=1
daemon=1
Listen=1
gen=0
algo=scrypt

(pooler-cpuminer)
Miner bat file: minerd -a scrypt -o http://192.168.0.3:7950 -u wallet address -p x --coinbase-addr=wallet address

(Antminer L3+) pool connect setup
http://192.168.0.3:7950 -u wallet address -p x

Now just for testing purpose when i use pooler-cpuminer to see if all this connects and Mines, it does. The Miner connects to my wallet and i can see hashes. I installed the Miner on the same computer as the wallet, it works, i installed the miner on a different computer and tried to connect to the computer that has the wallet, it works, so far so good.

Now the same i insert in the Antminer L3+ configuration and start the miner , it reads as pool is Dead. It fails to connect.
What am i doing wrong ???
can someone please help me to understand this

You need to setup a stratum proxy for your Antminer to connect to.

Something like this - https://github.com/CryptoManiac/stratum-mining-proxy

Download official Windows binaries (EXE) from http[Suspicious link removed] or http[Suspicious link removed]

Here's another one to try:
https://github.com/npmdoc/node-npmdoc-stratum-solo

I mainly setup these things on *Nix servers, so I don't try to setup on Windows much.

Good afternoon xavinash4ux, did you happen to get this working?
