Title: Mining on own node with ASIC (probably a noob question)
Post by: Dieterm5 on January 05, 2018, 05:13:50 PM
Hello guys

I've been mining for a while on different pools. But I decided to mine solo on my own node.
But there's a problem, I've an ASIC and I don't know how to set up my ASIC to my PC.

I've investigated about solo mining on my own wallet. And I see you need to set up a conf-file (see below)

rpcuser=USER
rpcpassword=PASSWORD
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=20102
port=21102
server=1
daemon=1
algo=scrypt (yes, I have L3+ AntMiner)
gen=1

I put the address '127.0.0.1' with or without ':20102'. But it's not working. Do you need to put an IP address of my PC or I need to add a node on my wallet? I'm lost right now  ???

Can someone tell me how to setup a conf-file to mine solo on my own node?

Thank you guys for help  ;)

The conf file on your wallet needs to allow incoming traffic from your network.  When you only have 127.0.0.1 that's the local loopback address, so the wallet will only listen to traffic coming from the machine that the wallet is running on.

Change it to this:

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0

If your local network subnet is on 192.168.0.x.  If it's different, adjust accordingly.

Then on your ASIC, point the mining software to the IP address of the computer that runs the wallet and the port that's in the config file.  You'll also need to use the same username and password you have listed as the RPCUSER, and RPCPASSWORD in the configuration file. :-*

this allows you to solo mine both doge and ltc

it may be better for you then pure solo mining
