Title: Solo Mining-Correctly set up? Post by: Jdumond on May 23, 2011, 10:52:50 PM Folks-
I am very new to this, though I am well read through these forums. I have guiminer/bitcoin I am attempting some solo mining, have set passwords, and flags but I am not sure whether or not it is working properly my GUIMINER under console simply says "listener for Miner 1 Started" I see my M/hash rate on the bottom of the GUIMINER, along with difficulty 1, and block 3363. I assume all is working properly I just wanted to verify as to not waste my time. is there any verification show within the bitcoin program itself? *on a side note (and not plugging for faster help) these forums are extremely informative, and besides this hiccup, I have found every single answer. Thanks all, any help would be appreciated. Title: Re: Solo Mining-Correctly set up? Post by: Jdumond on May 23, 2011, 11:07:58 PM bueller??

Title: Re: Solo Mining-Correctly set up? Post by: Jdumond on May 23, 2011, 11:42:08 PM Running command: poclbm.exe --user=J****** --pass=** -o 127.0.0.1 -p 8332 -d0 --verbose -server
Listener for "miner1" started followed your instructions still to no avail. I am currently having guiminer set my conf file for me, does the server info appear correct?

"bitcoin.exe -server" "poclbm.exe --user=<rpcuser> --pass=<rpcpassword> -o 127.0.0.1 -d0" Title: Re: Solo Mining-Correctly set up? Post by: kjj on May 24, 2011, 12:18:49 AM Your node needs to process the entire block chain before you can generate. It'll take a while. The current block number is north of 126,000.
Title: Re: Solo Mining-Correctly set up? Post by: acamus on May 24, 2011, 01:20:12 AM I made the same mistake, let the client download the whole block chain first. It takes a while and is annoying but necessary

Title: Re: Solo Mining-Correctly set up? Post by: guy12345 on May 25, 2011, 03:42:29 PM Hey,
let's say I'm at the university from 10 am to 4 pm and during this time I can power my laptop with an Nvidia Quadro NVS 135M on the university's bill. When I start mining in the morning I'd always have to download all the blocks (whatever that is) and wait till then? That's really annoying... Is there a way to 'save' the downloaded blocks? Regards, guy Title: Re: Solo Mining-Correctly set up? Post by: kjj on May 25, 2011, 03:53:56 PM The client caches the block chain. You'd only need to download the new ones.
Title: Re: Solo Mining-Correctly set up? Post by: dishwara on May 25, 2011, 06:58:03 PM You can download block chain database offline & then copy it to the folder where wallet.dat is stored.
Usually C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/blockchain-nightly/ download latest xxxx tar.gz. Extract the file blk0001.dat & blkindex.dat to the above folder replacing old ones. You can run bitcoin.exe -rescan, so that it rescan everything instead of downloading. you have your block chain saved. Title: Re: Solo Mining-Correctly set up? Post by: Jdumond on May 26, 2011, 02:45:13 AM is there any confirmation on the Bitcoin client itself that solo mining is set up properly?
I currently see in GUIminer Difficulty 1, Hashes 4.............................120MH/s Just turning it on a few minutes ago. Thanks :) |
