Title: Solo mining but no accepted hashes Post by: ontbijtkoe on November 12, 2013, 01:34:42 PM Hello guys,
I've got a question. Currently i'm mining with GUIminer and have bitcoin-qt as wallet. I'm trying to solo mine but after waiting for 2 hours still no hashes have been accepted It just says : Difficulty 1 Hashes:0 I know some of you are probably going to say that solo mining is not worth it but that's not what this thread is about. What i do: Boot Guiminer -> Launch Bitcoin Client as server -> start mining. I follow the tutorial on how to set up GUIminer and everything seems to work fine, accept for the fact nothing is showing up. When i look int he console i just see this: 2013-11-12 12:35:28: Listener for "Solo Cuda": Done allocating CUDA resources for (128,32) And a whole list of that. Any Idea? Thanks Title: Re: Solo mining but no accepted hashes Post by: Gator-hex on November 12, 2013, 01:44:22 PM Sorry but couldn't resist..
assuming you had an Nvidia GTX680 (120MH/s).. it would take 580 years to solo hash a block on average. Seriously don't waste your time and electricity on this! :D If you really want to mine on a GPU first thing you should do is sell the Nvidia, and use the money to buy the equivilent AMD/Ati 7970 (640MH/s) it's 5 times faster! Then seriously consider Litecoin instead. Title: Re: Solo mining but no accepted hashes Post by: ontbijtkoe on November 12, 2013, 02:12:59 PM I knew this was coming hehe. Actually have gtx560ti. 70mh/s. I see this as playing the lottery. I have my computer on so i might as well use some power to mine and have a CHANCE to magically solve a blockchain. Also i'll look into litecoin
