Title: Solo Mining question
Post by: Beachguy on May 06, 2014, 01:40:31 PM
Have searched this and haven't found a clear answer.

I'm mining an alt coin (lets call it coin A) solo with the instructions found here and having success.
I'm using CGMiner and using the wallet as the server. Lack of a better description mining "through" the wallet.

My question is I own another coin (Coin B) that's closed for POW, is currently POS and  stakes by the wallet.
Seems like when I  have wallet for coin B open so it will stake, I get no blocks on the miner.
I open it after the mining has started.

Is wallet B interfering with the mining of coin A? Or is it just solo mining luck?

Thanks for any answers.

depends... if coin A and B have same rpcport, that could be a problem (see conf file and change it... actually if it is pos, use a value you will never use)
