Title: Tried to setup solo mining: "Pool is not providing work fast enough" Post by: Chrithu on May 13, 2014, 02:38:31 PM So I tried to setup solo mining just for fun.
Bitcoin-core is running as sever and BFGMiner does connect, but there are no shares accepted and BFGMiner keeps repeating "Pool 2 isn't providing work fast enough" several times followed by "Pool 2 has catched up to new block". What am I overlooking/doing wrong? Title: Re: Tried to setup solo mining: "Pool is not providing work fast enough" Post by: cp1 on May 13, 2014, 02:40:16 PM Are you using stratum? If not you'll get that error. You might need to install the stratum proxy to serve stratum to your miner.

Edit: Ok I have read up about it: Are you sure I need a stratum proxy when doing local solo mining? I have the miner connected to the same machine that runs bitcoin-core.

The stratum-proxy mentioned in this thread is obsolete and outdated stuff. What it did was enable OLD mining software that used the getwork-protocol to connect to pools using the stratum protocol. So it did not help at all in my case. What was causing the problem in my case was that i was at the same time connected to ghash's pool and to my Bitcoin-Core client. I just removed the ghash pool info from BFGMiner's config and voila solo mining works like a charm. Mind you: I was trying to solomine using BFGMiner, Bitcoin-Core and 2 Antminer U2s. All on the same Windows 7 PC. |
