Title: How to setup a server to solo mine BTC/LTC on my lan? Post by: 01BTC10 on February 23, 2012, 05:14:11 PM I want to combine my computing power to create a private mining pool on my lan. I understand how to setup the workers but I am unsure about the server side. I will use Ubuntu or Debian for the server.
I know there is Bitcoind but I am unsure if I need the same software for the LTC server. Anyone could point me to the right direction? Many thanks!

Title: Re: How to setup a server to solo mine BTC/LTC on my lan? Post by: Red Emerald on February 23, 2012, 07:08:27 PM Check out p2pool. It's really easy to get running and will be lower variance than solo mining.

I just downloaded Litecoin source and I'm trying to understand how to solo mine with cpuminer first... I want to know if it's possible to run one of the older computer as a server for the others to work as a team. Title: Re: How to setup a server to solo mine BTC/LTC on my lan?

Title: Re: How to setup a server to solo mine BTC/LTC on my lan? Post by: 01BTC10 on February 24, 2012, 01:58:46 AM I have issue connecting my other workers.
I edited litecoin.conf file to this: testnet=0 rcpuser=user rpcpassowrd=pass rpcport=9332 server=1 When I connect minerd via local host: 127.0.0.1:9332 everything work! I even connected 2 workers to localhost successfully. When I try to connect another workers from the LAN it cant connect. When I scan the port of the machine running litecoind daemon, the port 9332 is closed. I disabled Windows firewall. How can I remote connect the others workers to the litecoind daemon via LAN?

You probably need to forward some ports through your router. Or put the server in a DMZ. Forwarding ports is probably safer.I disabled Windows firewall.

Post by: 01BTC10 on February 24, 2012, 02:33:48 AM This is the nmap log from the litecoind host seen via the LAN:
Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-02-23 21:30 EST Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.16 Host is up (0.038s latency). Not shown: 997 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 135/tcp open msrpc 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds There is no rpcport 9332 open so I dont understand how I can connect in first place. I tried putting the server in a DMZ but im not trying to acces it from outside my LAN so I thing it might be pointless... Just to be sure: $ nmap 192.168.1.16 -p 9332 Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-02-23 21:35 EST Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.16 Host is up (0.00019s latency). PORT STATE SERVICE 9332/tcp closed unknown Title: Re: How to setup a server to solo mine BTC/LTC on my lan? Post by: 01BTC10 on February 24, 2012, 03:51:09 AM It is working now. Forgot to setup a tunnel to hande the connection.
