Hi,
I really apprecite if you someone's could helpme. I'm getting stuck on mining first genesisblock in testnet. I'm trying to fork a x11 coin with some tutorials found here and there. Already made genesisblock and relative stuff.
And also started 2 linux machine,each with in testnet mode.

This is what i have done:
-run -testnet -connect xx.xx.xx.xx on first machine
-run -testnet -connect xx.xx.xx.xx on second machine
On .conf i only write user and password.


-Create wallet getnewaddress

Then:
-testnet getinfo
"version" : "v0.9.1.1-beta",
    "protocolversion" : 90011,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "newmint" : 0.00000000,
    "stake" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 0,
    "timeoffset" : 0,
    "moneysupply" : 0.00000000,
   "connections" : 2, (good, i already see 2 pc connected)
    "proxy" : "",
   "ip" : "0.0.0.0", (don't know if good or not)
    "difficulty" : {
        "proof-of-work" : 0.00000000,
        "proof-of-stake" : 0.00000000
    },
    "testnet" : true,
    "keypoololdest" : 1416577037,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00001000,
    "mininput" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""

then i do getpeerinfo:
 "addr" : "192.168.1.74:34466",
        "services" : "00000001",
        "lastsend" : 1416610880,
        "lastrecv" : 1416610880,
        "conntime" : 1416610879,
        "version" : 90011,
        "subver" : "/OPTii:0.9.1.1/",
        "inbound" : true,
        "startingheight" : 0,
        "banscore" : 0
    },
    {
        "addr" : "192.168.1.74",
        "services" : "00000001",
        "lastsend" : 1416610880,
        "lastrecv" : 1416610880,
        "conntime" : 1416610879,
        "version" : 90011,
        "subver" : "/OPTii:0.9.1.1/",
        "inbound" : false,
        "startingheight" : 0,
        "banscore" : 0
    },
    {
        "addr" : "192.168.1.74:47357",
        "services" : "00000001",
        "lastsend" : 1416610880,
        "lastrecv" : 1416610880,
        "conntime" : 1416610879,
        "version" : 90011,
        "subver" : "/OPTii:0.9.1.1/",
        "inbound" : false,
        "startingheight" : 0,
        "banscore" : 0


Then i do getmininginfo:

"blocks" : 0, (ok, i don't have already start to mine)
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : {
        "proof-of-work" : 0.00000000,
        "proof-of-stake" : 0.00000000,
        "search-interval" : 1
    },
    "blockvalue" : 2500000000000, (FIRST BLOCK REWARDS)
    "netmhashps" : 0.00000013,
    "netstakeweight" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : "",
    "pooledtx" : 0,
    "stakeweight" : {
        "minimum" : 0,
        "maximum" : 0,
        "combined" : 0
    },
    "stakeinterest" : 3000000,
    "testnet" : true

Then, i just need to write -testnet setgenerate true to finally try to mine first block and genesis block.
Here comes the ERROR:
{"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found"}

Here i get stuck. What's that error? He didn't find the command setgenerate true?
I have also downloaded xcoin-cpuminer, compiled and launch this command:
minerd -ax11 and as pool(but i'm in solo cause i need to mine genesis block) i have try to put every ip. My ip,seednode ip,127.0.0.1 and also made several attemp with several ports. But it doesn't work It say:

Bindind thread to cpu1
Binding thread to cpu0
After 20 second it stuck:
HTTP request failed: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received
[2014-11-22 11:43:42] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds


P.s. In the conf.file io only setted user and password.
Where i get wrong?

I really appreciate your help,since i lost 10 hours trying to solve it

0.1 btc as reward.

use cpuminer to mine the first blocks!

Did you try this OP? If so did it work?  ???

Cpuminier didn't work. Or at least, i'm not able to run in a proper way.
Have downloaded and compiled xcoin-cpuminer but don't know what to put on -o -u- p- to run it to mine first block. Basically i miss which default parameters use the default "set generate true"

Pool address:
Username:
Password:




Thanks for your help

yes cpuminer isthe way to go for x11

Done!
Thanks for your help.  ;)

or alternatively implement the missing method... (guess you didn't clone the right coin...)
