Title: Solo mining on Cudaminer
Post by: keith81 on December 10, 2013, 11:32:17 AM
Hello there!

I created a server username and password in litecoin.conf (using GUIminer scrypt).
Now I'm running the litecoin client as -server.

If I set the cudaminer command line as follows...
Code:
cudaminer.exe -o http://localhost:9332 -O user:pass
...will I be mining solo?

What is the output from cudaminer?  Does is start hashing?

Yes.  You will be solo mining if you setup the litecoin client in -server mode and point your miner to localhost:<your setup port> with your rpcuser and rpcpassword.

I did it earlier for a litecoin clone - lottocoin and managed to find a block.

If you're wallet is running and up to date and there's no errors I assume you have managed to start the solo mining correctly. I don't know with cudaminer, but cgminer will show connection errors and not mine anything.

Cudaminer should output a line to console with current hashing speed several times a minute if everything is correct. If there is any error it will be shown. Also make sure that the port number you set up corresponds to the correct wallet if you have more than one running.

If you run it in quiet mode (-q) it only gives you output when you find a block.  I prefer that to the constant kh/s spam ;)
