Title: Solo mining with BFGMiner and Bitcoin-Qt and BE's - Am I doing this right? Post by: skeeterskeeter on October 08, 2013, 07:12:06 PM I have started bitcoin-QT in server mode
Code: PATH\Bitcoin-qt.exe -server With my rpc password and username in the bitcoin.conf file. and I have the following arguments for BFGMiner Code: PATH\bfgminer.exe -G -o http://localhost:8332 -u RPCUSER -p RPCPASS --coinbase-addr ADDRESSFORBLOCKREWARD -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 I guess my main question is what port should I direct BFGMiner to? And do my my arguments look correct otherwise? Title: Re: Solo mining with BFGMiner and Bitcoin-Qt and BE's - Am I doing this right? Post by: skeeterskeeter on October 08, 2013, 10:54:31 PM I have added
Code: -rpcport=8332 Title: Re: Solo mining with BFGMiner and Bitcoin-Qt and BE's - Am I doing this right? Post by: skeeterskeeter on October 08, 2013, 11:07:18 PM Ok I have solved my problem. I can now connect with my Qt wallet and start mining. Though I get the error
"No suitable long-poll found for URL __" I read that this just means I won't be informed by my wallet(server) very fast if a new block is found, but its ok I will only ever do this for a few seconds? Title: Re: Solo mining with BFGMiner and Bitcoin-Qt and BE's - Am I doing this right? Post by: skeeterskeeter on October 09, 2013, 05:07:49 AM And after some careful read-me examination
Code: -no-longpoll Title: Re: Solo mining with BFGMiner and Bitcoin-Qt and BE's - Am I doing this right? Post by: Zeek_W on October 09, 2013, 12:06:41 PM I like seeing a thread where someone has done the following:
Asked a question with substance (ie showing what he/she has tried) Followed up with more information Then finalized with how to fix it. good stuff!

Post by: skeeterskeeter on October 09, 2013, 04:58:02 PM And after some careful read-me examination Code: -no-longpoll This seems to cause a huge number of hardware errors, removing long polling from the wallet server, any ideas why? Title: Re: Solo mining with BFGMiner and Bitcoin-Qt and BE's - Am I doing this right? Post by: cereal7802 on October 11, 2013, 01:31:34 PM here is what i have setup for do solo.
bitcoin.conf Code: server=1 Then for bfgminer i have my bitcoind address (localhost in this example) with the username and password in the bitcoin.conf. seems to work...

Post by: marcocoin on May 23, 2014, 09:22:57 AM here is what i have setup for do solo. bitcoin.conf Code: server=1 Then for bfgminer i have my bitcoind address (localhost in this example) with the username and password in the bitcoin.conf. seems to work... Hi guys, I have done everything as you describe above, but my bitcoin-qt refuses to start up in server mode as it will not accept any rpcpassword at all. My bfgminer bat is: bfgminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1:8332 -u USRNAME -p RANDOMPASSWORD -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0981 --icarus-options 115200:2:2 My .conf file is as in the code in your post. I keep getting a msg from wallet saying "It is recommended you use the following random password ....." and gives a very long random password as an example. (I would love to insert a jpeg of the screenshot, but do not know how to add it to the message). I wonder if you can help. Thanks Title: Re: Solo mining with BFGMiner and Bitcoin-Qt and BE's - Am I doing this right? Post by: nybbler905 on May 23, 2014, 06:12:17 PM The password error is now common place. Basicaly, it checks for the ' common ' 1 number, 2 letters ( small and caps ) so just make sure Bitcoin-QT.conf and your BAT file have the same password with at least 1 number and at least 2 upppercase and lower case letters. It may give that error if you change to this example password as it may be ' too short ' as far as Bitcoin-QT is concerned as over 8 character passwords are more secure
EXAMPLE: -p 1Ab I strongly advise using at least 1 of the characters from the number keys EXCEPT these 4 ' # & * % ' as they are considered special case characters in WINDOWS and may be misenterpreted. Title: Re: Solo mining with BFGMiner and Bitcoin-Qt and BE's - Am I doing this right? Post by: Meuh6879 on May 24, 2014, 10:10:16 PM My method for solo-mining (because of the difficulty...)
Code: bitcoin.conf create in the "blockchain" folder in bitcoin-QT tree Code: TXT file with .BAT extension in the BFGMiner folder and ... you MUST open the NAT of router with the 8333 (yes, this port...) 8332 is not a problem on NAT (don't open it !) because it's only between bitcoin-QT and BFGMiner (firewall on OS).

But still glad to have something.

Add some pools to your fail over list. They will notify you of block changes. Title: Re: Solo mining with BFGMiner and Bitcoin-Qt and BE's - Am I doing this right? Post by: Meuh6879 on May 25, 2014, 02:40:21 PM note : bgfminer (3.10) recognize bitcoin-qt (0.9.1) ... and not activate the "long pool" (indicate at the start on log of bfgminer).
