Title: Solo mining with old Antminer S3
Post by: kostepanych2 on November 12, 2017, 09:38:29 AM

Hello,

I want to solo mine some shitcoins with antique Antminer S3.

Asic is connected to my PC via LAN cable.
PC IP is 192.168.137.1, Asic IP is 192.168.137.99

Here is someshitcoin.conf:

Code:

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=52401
rpcallowip = 192.168.137.*
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1

When I trying to connect asic to http://192.168.137.1:52401 it display that pool is alive but do not mine anything. Even if shitcoin diff is very low and it should find blocks every minute.

So I tried to use bfgminer as stratum proxy. Used this bat file to start it: bfgminer.exe --stratum-port 52403 -o http://192.168.137.1:52401 -u user -p pass
And bfgminer displays that Pool 0 http://192.168.137.1:52401 alive:

Code:

[2017-11-20 15:50:56] Pool 0 http://192.168.137.1:52401 alive
 [2017-11-20 15:50:56] No suitable long-poll found for http://192.168.137.1:52401
 [2017-11-20 15:50:57] SSM: No usable 2D work upstream!
 [2017-11-20 15:50:59] SSM: No usable 2D work upstream!

But when I try to connect asic to stratum+tcp://192.168.137.1:52403 it displays that pool is dead.

So what I do wrong and how to mine solo with this very old asic?

easy , use stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3334 or stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 , btc address as user and x as pass , BTC need all hashpower it can get right now

Tryed to use pooler-cpuminer just for test. Used this bat file:

Code:

minerd.exe -a sha256d -o  stratum+tcp://localhost:52403 -u user -p pass

And get an error:

Code:

How to fix this?

Searching the error messages can help a lot.

Check post #735. Miners also like 3333 as the port most of the time.

No longpoll is normal for solomining so that isn’t an issue. Not entirely sure what the issue is myself.

Want to reanimate my S3, too.
