Title: How to solo mining on LAN ???
Post by: hashnine on March 17, 2014, 07:44:38 PM
Hi, how can i connect my other computers to my rpc server using the wallet????

I added rpcallowip=192.168.1.11
Now how 192.168.1.11 can mining on my server lan?


Thanks.


EDIT: So i think i need to add rpcconnect=IP into my config file. I will try it.

you also need to set the rpcallowdip=192.168.1.0 (to all your subnet lan)  and  server=1 
;) good luck. you are going to need it

Yes :) while solomining for bitcoins :P luck is needed :)


But give it a try! You will see how much you can get.

regards and all best!

Uhm... You'd better have a lot of hash power http://imgbomb.com/i/d15/saM0E.png

Here is a sample from one of my config files that I use for solo mining. For example, if you want to mine crazycoin, this would be in your ~/.crazycoin/crazycoin.conf file. You would need to run the crazycoind program and let it fully sync before you can mine to this server as a host. So, I normally would have the crazycoin program running, full blockchain synced, on the same device that my mining machine is connected to.

~/crazycoin/crazycoin.conf:
server=1
rpcuser=crazycoinrpc
rpcpassword=longstringoflettersandnumbershere_couldbeanything
rcpallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=65564
port=65565
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1

So, then you would set up CGMiner with a string something like this:
cgminer -o http://127.0.0.1:65564 -u crazycoinrpc -p longstringoflettersandnumbershere_couldbeanything

On windows, the conf file would likely be under appdata/Roaming/crazycoin, I think.

Hope this helps, cheers~

If you're using the latest version of cgminer, you need to specify an address to mine to.

Instructions from the cgminer README:

Quote
SOLO MINING

Solo mining can be done efficiently as a single pool entry or a backup to
any other pooled mining and it is recommended everyone have solo mining set up
as their final backup in case all their other pools are DDoSed/down for the
security of the network. To enable solo mining, one must be running a local
bitcoind/bitcoin-qt or have one they have rpc access to. To do this, edit your
bitcoind configuration file (bitcoin.conf) with the following extra lines,
using your choice of username and password:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password

Restart bitcoind, then start cgminer, pointing to the bitcoind and choose a
btc address with the following options, altering to suit their setup:

cgminer -o http://localhost:8332 -u username -p password --btc-address 15qSxP1SQcUX3o4nhkfdbgyoWEFMomJ4rZ

I remember back when I got introduced to Bitcoin, also wanted to try my luck on solo mining and burnt 4 cards. Moral of the story: Don't solo mine

:) Perhaps I am lucky that my gpu still work :P
I was solo mining too and I had 6770 only :P

I did it just to see how it works ... :)

Till now my GPU is working ;)

And I do not recommend solo mining.

Solo mining is fine, for some altcoins with lower difficulty, if you have enough GH/s anyhow. Not for bitcoin, obviously, unless you have like 100 TH/s. Having the solo mining setup as a backup pool helps secure the network, also.

What do you mean? What do you love in solo mining idea?

p2pool is a FUTURE of mining.

If you want to mine solo ... good luck.
But I don't say - for some "new" altcoins it is worth a try, as pools might became a scam ...

USE ONLY TRUSTED POOLS! With some payment history :)

Solo mining for a usa miner due to new tax laws makes sense.  I have 2th.  I am mining with btcguild..


  I move the btc at the .1 mark or about 1 time a day.  my 2014 tax return will need to show every 0.10 btc  entry made with the usd  value at the time.

So that would be 365 entries if I keep my pace up.  I can do this. I have accounting training and tax experience .
 
 Plus 2th is too much to lose if it never hits a block at solo mining.


But if you have 1 ant s-1 have zip skill  for preparing a tax return.


 here is the breakdown  .5 to buy one = 220 usd.   power on under clock and undervolt 140gh at 200 watts = 5 k-watt a day or .50 to 1.00 usd a day.



so 220 + 365 = 585 the first year.  that is at 20 cents a k watt. 

  second year is 365.  that is at 20 cents a k watt.

no tax reporting unless you hit a block.  a 25 coin block is  about 11000 usd today.  the downside is at the diff of 8 today  it is 2800 to 1 to hit a block in 1 day.
