Title: Solo Mine on Ubuntu?
Post by: greentea on January 02, 2014, 03:52:50 PM

Hello,

I know how to mine in a pool on Ubuntu, but how does one solo mine?

Is there a guide on how to mine scrypt coins solo in Ubuntu?

Cheers!

Basically you need to configure your local altcoin.conf file.
In Ubuntu it is under .altcoin/altcoin.conf

In the console shell write this:

Code:

echo '
rpcuser=YOUR_USER
rpcpassword=YOUR_PASS
rpcallow=127.0.0.1
server=1
gen=1
' > .altcoin/altcoin.conf

change altcoin for dogecoin for example if you pretend to mine DOGEcoin

Then point your miner to your localhost instead of the pool address.
