Title: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: Aexcu on February 14, 2014, 05:51:31 PM How to do it:
1) Get Bitcoin wallet https://bitcoin.org/en/download 2) Run Bitcoin wallet app: "bitcoin-qt.exe -rpcuser=username -rpcpassword=password -server -listen" and wait for the BTC blockchain go through (this takes serious time) 3) Get cgminer from v3.12.3 or later (this version has official support for AntMiner U1) http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ 4) Run bitcoin mining software "cgminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1:8332 -u username -p password" and it will automatically start to mine with the U1 (ANU 0)
What's your best share? For me 21.3K today.. Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on February 14, 2014, 07:39:59 PM And the point in trying this? Without some serious Terrahashes, it's not worth it to even try to solo mine.

Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: Aexcu on February 14, 2014, 08:44:14 PM Friend, there is no point. Yet, neither does it matter whether there is or not. If one would dig further, you could say something on the line of "because you can".
Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: descarte on February 14, 2014, 10:02:25 PM I keep seeing threads that discourage people from soloming.
"I am not doing it for profit. why do you care?" Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: smooth on February 15, 2014, 10:57:33 PM I would absolutely encourage small miners to solo mine if they are doing it as a hobby. As someone said earlier, it is much better than playing the lottery.
Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: Aexcu on February 16, 2014, 02:40:30 PM When turning on some more verbose output in cgminer you seem to get a lot of these messages:
Any understanding of what that is about? It seems that Internets are very brief/not enlightening on this particular topic. Best share 54.3K today, while 13K yesterday (you got it right, I just mine for fun with the computer while it is turned on). Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: BearByte on February 18, 2014, 05:43:35 AM You might want to try solo mining just some random Alt SHA-256 coins too, I do that some with just one of my miners and every now and then I do get a block, if you watch the random difficulty on some coins you can really up your chances of getting lucky too. I know what you mean when mining for fun solo, feels good to get your own block knowing your the only one that made it happen ;D

Im a noob everything is correct tillll it asks for URL then Username then Password can you help me do you know it? What's your best share? For me 21.3K today.. Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: Aexcu on March 12, 2014, 09:13:55 PM My U1 solo miner got a Best share of 8.88M today.
That'd have brought a block back in April, 2013 ;D Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: axpguy on March 12, 2014, 11:25:58 PM My U1 solo miner got a Best share of 8.88M today.

BestShare 9,865,189 !!!! no block ;D Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: ringtail on March 13, 2014, 02:51:30 AM How to do it: 1) Get Bitcoin wallet https://bitcoin.org/en/download 2) Run Bitcoin wallet app: "bitcoin-qt.exe -rpcuser=username -rpcpassword=password -server -listen" and wait for the BTC blockchain go through (this takes serious time) 3) Get cgminer from v3.12.3 or later (this version has official support for AntMiner U1) http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ 4) Run bitcoin mining software "cgminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1:8332 -u username -p password" and it will automatically start to mine with the U1 (ANU 0)
What's your best share? For me 21.3K today.. Please let us know when/if you ever find a block. Best of luck! Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: ManeBjorn on March 13, 2014, 03:06:33 AM I would love to have about 20 S1 Ants.
18 would be on BTCGuild and 2 I would let solo mine. That would be great. Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: valkir on March 13, 2014, 01:24:47 PM How do you solo mine btc ??? I have 10 BE that I will like to put on solo just for fun.
Anyone can help? ;D Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: irrational on March 14, 2014, 02:46:49 AM When turning on some more verbose output in cgminer you seem to get a lot of these messages:

Best share 54.3K today, while 13K yesterday (you got it right, I just mine for fun with the computer while it is turned on). The target your miner is referring to is the artificially lower pool share target. Unless your solo mining your miner has no idea what the true target (difficulty) of Bitcoin is. Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: Groc on March 17, 2014, 05:37:15 AM with a couple ghs, megamultipool is your best bet.
Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: tesene on April 29, 2014, 05:34:27 AM Have you been able to solo mine any SHA-256 altcoins?
Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: pabpete on April 29, 2014, 11:05:05 PM Does getting a block make a difference ?
Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: Dannie on April 30, 2014, 08:22:17 AM Does getting a block make a difference ? You can get 25btc + tx fee if you find a block. :D Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: pabpete on April 30, 2014, 02:26:03 PM What would your un:pw be?
Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: jonnybravo0311 on April 30, 2014, 03:26:16 PM Solo mining can be fun, and is very much like playing the lottery. I have 5 U2s that solo mine. Is it likely they'll ever solve a block? Nope. I thought it was unlikely my S1 would solve a block, but last week it did just that... boy do I wish I was solo mining then.
It's unlikely I'll ever win the PowerBall either, yet I'll still buy a ticket or two. Winning that buys me a whole lot of hashing power :) Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: jwcastle on May 01, 2014, 03:24:02 AM If your computer is on anyway, why not? The little USB stick is doing all the work so it's not slowing your computer down while it's doing its thing.
If you get lucky, good for you! If not, nothing lost really...

I suggest using a large pool as the relay node example of my solo.bat file @ echo off d:\bfgminer\bfgminer -o 127.0.0.1:8332 -u x -p cat -o btcguild.gigaforge.com:3333 -u y -p egg --coinbase-addr 1JafVRe23oLSku4FBwBE3rJAKc9Y8wZM5z --coinbase-sig "Yep Icon did it again!" O and add a coinbase-addr to tell the blockchain where to deposit the btc you mine :) Icon PS Also if your solo mining with the newest bitcoinqt client the .0.9.1 you can still use the old bitcoin.conf file simple run the bitcoin-cli.exe file afterwards to get it to accept connections example of the bitcoin.conf: server=1 rpcuser=x rpcpassword=y rpcport=8332 rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: LendingTree on May 01, 2014, 04:33:45 PM So, I simply copy the below into a .cmd file, and run it?
d:\bfgminer\bfgminer -o 127.0.0.1:8332 -u x -p cat -o btcguild.gigaforge.com:3333 -u y -p egg --coinbase-addr 1JafVRe23oLSku4FBwBE3rJAKc9Y8wZM5z --coinbase-sig "Yep Icon did it again!" Where I change the bfgminer to the path on my computer, and change the pass and user names to my username? Title: Re: Solo mining with BITMAIN AntMiner U1 (USB) Post by: Icon on May 01, 2014, 04:47:17 PM yep if you got in the bfgminer folder and your on the same pc as the qt client and synced is running and you have added the bitcoin.conf file to were your wallet.dat file is located.. should work.. and make sure you run the bitcoin-cli.exe before you run bfgminer. and what ever pool you are relaying off use your pool login/password info so you can get info about the block the network is on.

Not true when solo mining with cgminer which checks for new blocks automatically and will update as soon as possible. |
